Lab data comparison
Measurements from Tennis Warehouse University (TWU)
RA Stiffness — lower = more flex & comfort
Weight — higher = more stability
Swingweight — higher = more plow-through momentum
Choose the Blade 98 16x19 v10 if…
Control-first players, flat hitters, serve-and-volley
Very flexible — max comfort (RA 61)
Choose the Radical MP 2023 if…
All-court players, intermediate to advanced
Flexible — arm-friendly (RA 65)
🎵 String strategy for each frame
These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.
Blade 98 16x19 v10
Very flexible frame (RA 61) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.
Radical MP 2023
Balanced stiffness (RA 65). A mid-stiffness co-poly like Babolat RPM Team or Wilson Revolve at 52–56 lbs gives a comfortable all-court setup without sacrificing spin or control.
