Hmmm, the Wilson has different stiffness, but also little more head heavy that may be the sluggishness reason, do you not like the new prince exo. I did not know the Prince sticks were that stiff....Sometimes you need to hit with demo for a week or so to see how you like it.

The reason the BLX 98 feels sluggish is the balance of 2 pts HL. Any racquet that is light (10.9 range) and is balanced head heavy in this way to create power, will create much more shock to the arm than the traditional balance of either 5-8 pts HL. There is a great article on this somewhere on the internet which showed almost double the shock rating for these kinds of racquet among well known manufacturers.

Try the new Head Speed MP 16x19 or the Dunlop Biomimetic 300 Tour. Similar specs and better feel than that crap BLX 98. Wilson really did bad with that.
