Wilson K Blade Tour Tennis Racket Review

[MEGATwiSt100]

might be a bit old but i am a reasonable player i am coming 15 years old and a 7.2 lta rating i am a hard hitter what racket would you recommend

thanks

[bigmacs95]

i own this racket and it is great

[saurabg]

This racket is great. I love it.

[michaelk732]

i play with this raquet but have demo and owned many raquets before it. I think this is the best frame wilson has produced and is definitly among the top 3 best (if you are good enough to use it). I've also tried the new blx blade,and it isn't much better, I would even say it's a little worse.

[jonathanelbuenaonda]

i love this raquet

[killerrolon]

this racket is the best but why is so different to the blx? is totally other thing

[Ralzaly]

HAHA He said "interested" the way i say "in-ter-REST-ed" , people make fun of me because i pronounce it out...

[heyimasian00]

How is the Wilson K Factor K Strike?

[dura1mater]

How come flexible rackets have more control if they bend more then? I think you are all mixed up will.

[shotyboy]

wasn't it hard to hit with that leather grip?

[sultanabran1]

@shotyboy i hated the leather grip. it was hard and the racquet twisted in my hand. personal preference though.

[KOliverJones]

When did you shoot this review, the hitting parts?

[izrael1010]

Uglie pattern though!!!!!!

[m3geoisawesome]

Can anyone explain how demoing works?

if they ship it to me, do i have to return it through the mail as well?

[doublea422]

@m3geoisawesome yes you have to return it by mail it comes with all the information you juct put them in the box they came in and put the sticker on the box that came with them and drop it of at the nearest ups store

[dionjas]

yes, you are correct

[lolist98]

youre a youtube partner

[jaysonordan]

The demo link you posted is for the Kblade 98 not the KBlade Tour ;) - just to let you know! ;)

[Frostythelol]

@jaysonordan

you don't need to use the link to demo the racquet for free. Tennis Express' demo program is free for ALL racquets BUT, you have to pay for shipping.

[farood5]

will, how does this racket play differently to the 98 version

please reply

[randyvan400]

Love dat shot at 1:18

[tennischamp190]

i love this racket to death

by far the best decision ive made in my tennis career

[djrighthand]

im a bit confused...why is it tht when the frame bends you get less control, so why did head have the flex point which bends alot more

[DylanMakesNoise]

I have played through 3 lines of head racquets and from my personal experience, the flexpoint technology was not all that apparent. For example, I play with the prestige mid. The flexpoint had very subtle changes from the liquidmetal ones. The microgel on the other hand feels more solid. The flexpoint may do what it is said to do, but not so much that it makes a difference in the feel because the prestige is such a solid frame.

[Azwar3]

@djrighthand That bent at a specific location. Not a random bending off the racket. Its diffrent.

[drlopus]

I'm playing the racket in the indoor season and on surfaces like grass and carpet and I see two sides of the racket.

I love the control it gives me, especially the flat forehand and the backhand slice. Moving in with the forehand is also very comfortable.

So for me it"s perfect for all aggressive surfaces where i'm quickly going into action.

I don't like to play it on clay and on hardcourt because in my opinion it doesnt have the solid power for deep and high groundstroke rallies.

[psydeg]

Will why are you waiting the ball inside the court. Isn't this a mistake? Thx.

[FYB2007]

Why am I hitting inside out? Because of where the camera is positioned. Hitting inside out lets you see how the ball travels off my strings better because the ball doesn't cross in front of my body (which would block your view of the ball).

[MrPURECONTROL]

@FYB2007 r u saying a stiffer racquet gives more control than a flexible racquet

[lureyourkidsinvan]

@psydeg

Can't you write a sentence? Ever heard of proof reading? It's a sentence doesn't take long to look back at what you wrote. It doesn't make any sense, if If I was trying to decipher it, "why are you hitting inside out?" Why not is hitting inside out a mistake? Yes, it's a cardinal sin to hit inside out that's why no pros do it (insert sarcasm)

[wwwtoptennis]

hahah matt xDD...Your so cool. Nobody would make a Smile behind his answer. You are Great ...WILL :D

[FYB2007]

Heh. I try..... =)

[syncroneyes]

Hey Will, may i ask you to do a racquet review on the the K Six One Team 95

[Charusho]

Can I have your backhand Matt, mine doesn't work?

[FYB2007]

My name is Will! =)

[Charusho]

haahhahah! sorry Will! I must have got you mixed up without another Matt you-tuber. Keep up the good work.

[FYB2007]

No prob! I've been called worse names than Matt... heh.

[FF18Cloud]

@FYB2007 wats rong wit matt o_O...

[heyimasian00]

@FYB2007 hows the K Factor K Strike?

[loondoo]

K Blade Tour is a pretty solid racquet. Feels better with Lead tape at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Kind of like Wilson's answer to the Head Prestige Mid, but not quite as soft feeling. I prefer playing with the K90 Federer or the K88 Sampras, but this is decent for feeding balls and easy hitting for advanced players.

[Kevinxnam10]

Do One on K Factor six one 95 Awesome cough cough :]

[nomnomnamable]

Agreed though FYB can only do reviews on racquets that are given to them by tennis express I think.

Hopefully they can do a Yonex review :D

[FYB2007]

Ya we are at TE's whim a little bit in terms of the rackets we review

[jgkim111]

Will, I can see your backhands landing short. that's 10 pts headlight !

[Thephiphi]

You are mistaken, it is in fact the opposite. This is why you tend to string rackets on a higher tension when you want control, and lower tension when you want more power.Common enough mistake, i hope this will help you.

[nomnomnamable]

Lower tension = more spin.

More spin can lead to more control because if you hit with topspin then more spin will pull the ball into the court.

[Thephiphi]

Margin for error and Control are two different things. Lower tension does indeed mean more spin, but it does not mean necessarily, more control. You could hit all the spin in the world and if you don't control the depth and placement it would not do you any good.

[louiskkchanhk]

why still review k series? my coach told k series will be replaced soon...

[sgtennis12345]

do u take requests upon what racquet you review next? 'Cause im hoping you could do a review on the dunlop AG200 4D

[AyzhunPersuasion]

Very nice. I love your racquet reviews.Please do another on the K factor four fx and racquet strings too. =D

[smithcm14]

Why would tennis express want to promote a review for this racquet? Wilson is going to replace their whole line up next month.

[AtlantisArch]

u gave ur own aswer, dude !

[jgkim111]

cuz they have to sell remaining stocks..

[Jaewon12345]

hey Will, could you be able to add serves too in your reviews?

That would be really great.

[tehnoobpark]

what is the racket called?

[track818]

Wilson KFactor KBlade 98, I'm using it, very good racket :)

[mansuliu]

hey will, you guys should do tennis string reviews

[scuzzlebutt]

those days go into hibernation during the winter in ontario

[HellRaiser51]

good racquet

[youthinkyouwin123]

what Racket should i use? to put more power serve

[tehnoobpark]

a heavier racket

[syncroneyes]

good one man

[tehnoobpark]

just do whatever feels right, you don't want a heavy racket because you have to play with it after the serve goes in and it will mess up your forehands and backhands.. just stick to what is comfortable for the racket..

[ribcat]

what a nice sunny day!!

[craneydude]

Dont have them days in England
