WILSON H22 BLADE 16X19 PRO STOCK TENNIS RACKET REVIEW

[@Kevmc1023]

It's no silicone in the handle, it's epoxy. Some pros's used for adding weight without changing the feeling of the racquet

[@cp_703]

Epoxy glue ?

[@MikeKomen]

Nice catch

[@Kevmc1023]

[@soloist47]

Its resin.

I have a 4 H22 with the Burn paint job...hard to find the grometts...once you get the rigjt setup(weight, swing weight, tension and balance it feels like butter..even better than the PT57A, I have a few of those too...good job!

[@MikeKomen]

I believe the H22 is also the most widely used on the pro tour

[@alexbrands11]

Нет..не широко используется.в основном играют H19 и Blade98 v5.0 и v4.0..H22 по пальцам перечесть можно- Кареньо-Буста,Маю,Гулбис и Борна Чорич..Сабаленка до 2020 года. .Ноле играл ей с 2005 по 2009 год..🤣🌺🤣

[@hewitttt]

Wilson Hyper Prostaff 6.0 is prob my favorite Wilson racquet. Sadly I dont have any anymore and they are super expensive if you find them on Ebay. I do have a couple of my 2nd favorites which is the Hyper Carbon Tour 95. Regardless thanks to the dude that sent it in and thank you for the content :)

[@svlagonda7417]

3:05 interesting that the string pattern spacing is so different, particularly that bottom cross.

[@alexbrands11]

Это вообще другой обод с другой сверловкой!!- что удивительного??

[@chuckfriebe843]

The younger players on the tour like lighter racquets, with significant SW.

[@mikemu9897]

You could compare the shapes of the frames. Maybe by laying the frames on top of each other. The h22 looks like the pro staff to me.

[@andreyofdoom]

It is not. The pro staff has the pws bumps on the sides. H22 is not like any wilson retail

[@albertoescobosa179]

The handle of the Astrel 100 features Yonex' Ergo Power Grip which means the grip is larger at the bottom, and thinner towards the top of the grip. The system allows more of your hand to be in contact with the grip for better access to power.

[@MCGaar]

I hit with this in the 18 by 20 for more control. Hits spin and flat shots nicely!

[@nostro1001]

Yup Kojak...most paint jobs look excellent on pro stock racquets. This is why you hear complaints about paint so often these days on many retail models. It's cheaper and is getting worse. Latest Wilson ultra's (v3) the worst I've ever seen for a so called premium stick. The paint literally just peels away from literally nothing. Guess that's one of the reasons they are priced cheaper than other premiums. They are made on the cheap!! Fyi.... I was hitting with a pro out here this afternoon. He's still using a head microgel (os), unsure what pro stock model it's called. Lead at 4 & 8, plus lead under the bumper. He had two sticks out...he broke the strings with Alu power, had another rpm blast. The interesting thing though was he strung at 42lbs (even in that oversize). We spoke a lot about strings and some pros & what they string at, along with what the players think about the US Open going ahead. Not surprised the stick felt a bit firmer that stated RA 57....exactly what the lead does, other than increasing the sw, it's about stability. Great job....and I'm sure you were hitting as powerfully as Tennys with that stick!!

[@FW_Tennis_Channel]

I do know that some prostock racquets have epoxy used to add weight instead of silicone. Personally don't really the reason why they would use it instead. Maybe because it drys quicker and is easier to apply without any air bubbles? I personally have a H22 18x20 in a Burn 100 PJ. Would love to use it as my main racquet but the grommets are really hard to find and expensive. Wished Wilson will let us order the grommets should be cheaper that way.

[@Kevmc1023]

Correct, it's epoxy. The reason why some pros's used is because the silicone is a soft material and kinda damped the feel a bit and the epoxy hardens after it drys , so it does not change the feel it only adds weight.

[@mcdamike]

I have no choice but to subscribe your channel, I am a sucker for good content.

[@2ndAveScents]

Silicone that hardened over time 😂

[@bowsershark]

57 RA is really soft for a blade or a pro staff. Maybe the beefy silicon loaded handle made it feel more stiff than 57.

[@mteca5093]

WHY dont you put the racquets on top of each other to see if its rounder ?????

[@MorrisJensen1]

Where can I buy the wilson blade pro stock 16/19?

[@sludge86]

It’s called glossy paint vs matte, lol. How did he measure the flex (RA57)?

[@michaelp9061]

You are a true Dark Lord now. Congrats on this nice find. Thumbs up to the donor too.

[@youngsuit]

wow i always prefer a matte finish to a glossy one but makes sense for them to do it with the pros

[@mact7766]

This is the standard 16x19 H22 mold. Good for you.

[@PolKsio]

Interesting thing is even though it's a 16x19 there are 8 strings that go down that lower hoop grommets, something you only see in 18x20 rackets. That gives you an idea how tight that stringbed is in the centre. It's a 16x19 but as tight as a 18x20

[@PCSStringing]

@PolKsio "...even though it's a 16x19 there are 8 strings that go down that lower hoop grommets, something you only see in 18x20 rackets". That's absolutely not true. There are lots of 16 main racquets that have 8 grommets/holes in the throat bridge. 8 holes in the throat bridge is not something exclusive to racquets with 18 mains.

[@LifeIsGoodThankYouGod]

Hello, I am thing about getting a elite 2 lopster tennins ball machine. would you reconnected this ball machine or do you have anything better ?

[@mikejamieson419]

Can the grip pallets on these be changed like Head rackets?

[@AlexeyPops]

How does it feel comparing to your Clash? I guess stiffness is kinda similar.

[@alexbrands11]

Жесткость похожа..ракетка вообще другая!!🤣🌺🤣

[@soloist47]

@tennisspin you yourself told that glossy paintjob makes the racquet more lively compared to matte paint which dull or mute the racquet down.

[@chowchichang2922]

I think you and that racquet should get a room !

[@OldSkoolLegend]

rounder rackets are so much nicer. Prince do them.... it makes sense... you want more surface to roll across the ball. i really dont get oval shaped heads.

[@sktoreon7]

Very recently, I acquired a new H22 (18x20, Blade V7 PJ), I guess the H22 is under 300g when it is in raw form. As my H22 came 300.6g filled with silicone in the handle (including the Wilson perforated cushion grip). And it feels head heavy when swinging the racquet, and even I've added more weight around the handle making 31.6mm balance (340.00g with 2 overgrips and strings). It packs a heafty punch like RF97 but, feels much nicer (BUT! Still has that Wilson Pro staff's solid feel). Basically, it's a head heavy feeling, softer RF97 with 98 sq inch head (or a head radical with Wilson's taste). Which makes it, one of the best racquet you can play with...

[@Tennisbull-match-statistics]

So he filled only one chamber in the handle and wore out one side of the frame. Does he always hold the racket the same way then?

[@ddxx81274]

sandgren is 18 main

[@Multisportamateur]

Do you have a demo for that H22? Hahahah. If so, I’ll be on my way down to the shop!

[@d-weezy]

sfsustudent As stated in the video, these are only available to the pros, so no “demos” are typically available. I would surmise that he wouldn’t be loaning out someone else’s racquet either.

[@ssenssel]

Blade CV had a plastidip matte black finish to them. Don't know about v7 since I've never touched one. PS: I've just opened the end cap on my FST Burn 95 out of curiosity and only one side of the chamber has silicone in it.. also it's not even well plugged with it. Whoever did it in China did an awful job. Wilson bad QC is pretty standard though. Please check both sides of the SW on the racquets with only one chamber with silicone/foam to see if it affects the SW or not. I mean chamber plugged side up and down. Thanks

[@jerome_morrow]

No need for the up/down check. The SW will be the same. SW is measured relative to a point 10cm up for the buttcap - ergo, small weight changes at the grip end have little effect.

[@christianteves809]

Are you planning on doing a review type of video on the retail pro line that Wilson has? They look interesting

[@sunny051488]

Isn’t the clash even more flexible with RA being 55?

[@tonygareth221]

I don’t know which racquet you use! I’ve been doing this for years, instead of sticking to my pro staff (used to be RF but now reg PS) I want to always try different things and then I think I like it. I’ve used the PS like I said and I mostly like it , especially on slice and volleys. I’ve had the heavier clash and there were things I liked about it, I thought about using Yonex because I’ve heard they’re comfortable, I have like some of the babolats (pure strike and Roddicks racquet) and I’ve used volkl. I’m getting older, was a hard hitter, all court player so if anyone has a racquet that I just have to try let me know. I keep telling myself to stay with pro staff or clash and leave it alone but...I don’t think I want anything heavier than a pro staff anymore since my arm is starting to bother me a little bit. Tired of Messing with lead tape too because I just haven’t gotten it right! I’m sure it could help but I’m not exactly sure, prob because I don’t play a lot I just teach

[@gazzer92]

heavy racket is better for the arm. think of it as hitting a car with a bus, with a light racket your hitting a bus with a car

[@tomasfernandes6920]

Can you compare the prostaff 97 v13 to the wilson blade pro 16/19 (H22) with a leather grip?

[@michaelobgy]

Question the Wilson blade pro 16x20 advertised on Wilson.com is the actual H22 pro stock?

[@trex1448]

This is counterveil generation. That's why the head looks more round. Wilson sells thew newer version pro stock on their website.

[@vanshagarwal2362]

Can you explain the hoop flex? Was it stiffer than the RA? What market racket would be similar?

[@PolKsio]

The Head Youtek Radical MP with some extra weight in the handle to make it more headlight

[@alexbrands11]

Никакая ритейл ракетка не похожа..H22 не выпускают серийно в магазин..

[@winniecarl]

It needed an added overgrip! that would have been how it was set-up. Higher static weight and more H/L.

[@PolKsio]

Assuming he has a leather grip on and not a synthetic. If he uses a leather grip, then the end specs are 346, 32, 342 if he uses a synthetic then the leather grip is roughly a synthetic and an overgrip combined in terms of weight

[@youtuberbg2251]

What is the tension of the racket?

[@kayanoreeves1949]

I have Blade Pro 18x20 and regular v7 18x20...the v7 is definitely rounder. Guess that means the Blade Pro isn't from the H22 mold?

[@CasualTennis]

You mean rounder beam or rounder head shape ? The blade pro grommets match the H22 ones just so you know

[@kayanoreeves1949]

@@CasualTennis rounder head shape. Blade Pro beam is classic box shape.

[@TimmieTennis]

Surprised Tennys would play with a RA 57 considering he’s one of the hardest hitting guys on the tour.

[@msalvs]

It's not surprising at all, when you supply your own power, it's much easier to control a low powered racquet

[@jmasked5082]

Retail racket most similar to a H22? Likewise with the H19 and P57A, etc.. Would love to see comparisons of prostock to their closest retail equivalent.. Really, I wish they would just sell these rackets!

[@nostro1001]

@J....they don't sell pro stock racquets, not considering whether your average player can actually use them, because there's no marketing involved. The companies want you to get sucked into the latest technologies, which most pro stocks don't bother with, so that you buy new sticks yearly. Cheers

[@g2tennis]

From what I know, what comes closer to the H22 is the Blade, to the H19 is the Ultra, since it was made based on the same mold. And for the PT57A it's the Pro Tour 630, which is the retail mold of that pro stock, but available now a days, probably some Prestige?

[@PolKsio]

The Head Radical MP (the Youtek or Microgel ones) line which is initially the racket Wilson copied to create the H22 for all the players that grew up playing with the Radical and then signed a contract with Wilson.

[@g2tennis]

@@PolKsio the H22 is based in the Radical line, but the older ones such as the Liquidmetal. It came out prior to the Microgel and Youtek ones

[@mact7766]

Could you kindly ask Wilson to release these H22s in 18x20 ? or 16x19 ? I love mine but cannot afford a backup. These are solid performance racquets they can make loads of money by simply selling them.

[@CoDINmyHEART]

No, they wont make money in the long run because people wont buy the new useless other models coming out every other year like right now. With H22 you buy 3-4 rackets and use them for 10 years.. Huge difference. And please, you could get one right now pretty cheap, they have dropped some since corona.

[@a2casius]

I also saw this harder resin inside a Coric pro stock H22. Anyone knows what type of resin they use now rather a rubberised silicone? I find normal silicone a bit too heavy.

[@Kevmc1023]

It's epoxy glue

[@icemandl6]

It feels firmer than its RA because the hoop is stiffer than the throat on H22s. And as you know, the RA is always measured from the throat.

[@RobsTennisVids]

I thought everyone who strung for the pros knew what the H22 is... it's not a Blade, ProStaff, or anything Wilson ever made. It's a Head Prestige, which Wilson had to reverse engineer so they could sponsor players that didn't like anything they were already making. It's a blatant, shameless copy. And the reason for the different paint - you'll notice that no matter what the cosmetics of the production racquets are, the pros who use them will always have a glossy or flat finish. All things being equal, a glossy finish will feel different from a flat finish.

[@unathleticremi]

It’s more a copy of the PT57A or whatever that racket Djokovic and a bunch of other pros love. Same with H19

[@bradmcnutt9533]

I read that pros also prefer how the gloss finish looks on TV.
