Comments: This is an exceptionally light and maneuverable racquet. However, it demands an open and uninhibited swing on both hands; if you are prone to contract or "slap" your swing, this racquet will make you pay in the worst way. For less experienced players, such as myself, this may be a blessing in disguise as it forces you relentlessly to open up your swing- ie, to relinquish mental control and just rip it. When you do this, oh my! The racquet may seem underpowered for those who don't swing freely, but if you follow through the combo of depth and control are nearly magical. Serve location is close to effortless, though you have to bring the arm speed- this racquet isn't for the lazy. The racquet requires and rewards an enthusiastic playing style. A fun weapon!
Comments: I bought my 1st Kblade team last July and since then I have bought 2 more. It has become my primary racket. I am a 5.0 NTRP baseline player with occasional serve and volley, especially during the doubles. I have to admit, at first the racket felt a little light but incredibly maneuverable. But after couple of weeks of hitting, once you get accustomed to it, it is one hell of weapon mixing a perfect balance between power, control, spin, and reach. Since switching, my singles and double winning stats have improved quite significantly. I changed the stock strings with Babolat RPM blast, 16 gage, 55 lbs and I am getting the nice sweet spot feel with a lot more depth and pop on my shots, overheads, especially my volleys. My most favorite aspect of this racket is hitting serves. Power, spin or placement has become almost on-demand. I give it 9.5 out of 10. It can be a bit tough on the elbow, if you hit too frequently say more than 3 times a week. I strongly recommend this racket to players 3.5 and above but I think you need to extend your trial period to more than a week to get a true appreciation what it can do for you. I don't think you to do any lead weight adjustment.
Comments: Wow! This racket is surprisingly good. The more I test it the more I like this baby. I was skeptical with a racket over 100 sq.in, but this one has convinced me it is possible to play great tennis with a "tweener". I used to play with a "pro" type rackets, mainly with the n/k blades 98 line (I've also tested a lot of rackets, including pure/aero pro drives, Yonex RDS 001/002 tour, Wilson n/k six ones, head radicals, Dunlop 300 tour, head PC600, and the list continuous...) and finally found my holy grail (unexpected) with this one. Great power/control/balance, very good maneuverability, access to spin and feel, INCREDIBLE COMFORT/SWEET SPOT, and RIDICULOUSLY easy to SERVE. It has also decent stability for its weight.
I also recommend lead up at 3-9 (or 2-10) for increase the plow-through and stability, for a definitely final weapon. This racket takes you a little time to adjust the extra length and the headsize, but after a couple of hours all your shots become amazingly easy and good.
Comments: No wonder Venus and Serena use this racquet it has so much power and so much spin and is so forgiving. This racquet is amazing on serves and great on groundstrokes, however it could be a little heavier and I think I might take the advice of some of the other reviews by adding 6 total grams to the 10 and 2 positions. I have not tried it yet but based on other reviews it seems like it makes a huge difference. I suggest this racquet to anyone it is great.
Comments: I must have demoed 15 racquets, and this had the best combination of balance and power. It just feels right.
Comments: I love this racquet. Nice big sweet spot and a lot of control. Great for serve
Comments: I played with this racquet for about two hours and it was very nice. The sweet spot was big and the racquet felt very soft and comfortable on impact. There was power when I needed it, but the control was exceptional. I could place the ball wherever I wanted whenever I wanted. Serving was a dream. I played a practice set with this racquet and my first three serves were aces. Very steady racquet in stock form and I had no troubles with any twisting of the racquet when I had to return hard shots. Flat shots felt as sage as can be and spin was good but nothing special. I give this racquet an 8 out of 10. And I might just buy one.
Comments: The stock model is not powerful, so I tried to modify the racket with lead tapes (Sampras Power Strips). First I put one strip each at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock, and it worked quite fine. The shots became powerful and the racket was manageable.
Comments: Best racquet I've ever owned. Great feel and touch with plenty of controllable power. Very stable. Plays like a small headed "players" racket. It's a keeper.
Comments: Wow, almost everybody here seems to like this racquet. Well, I guess I'm one of the few exceptions. I play tennis mainly due to my big serve and big forehand. With this racquet, I can't hit a big serve and my timing for the big forehand goes haywire. How in the world can I play tennis with this racquet? Sadly, this racquet ain't for me.
Comments: Very nice, very flexible racquet with a lot of touch and feel. The tech. specs make this racquet really unique, but it was too light for my game play. I added a whole of 6 grams of lead at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and a lot of lead tape under the grip. Now the strung weight is about 364 grams and now it is the perfect stick for me.
Comments: I have to say that this is a great racquet. It has great control and power, and the feel is so comfortable. I thought that this racquet might be too light for
me, but it's not. I have an offensive style of playing and I have to say that
I hit anything I want. I get good spin, and I can only say, don't think too much. You wont wrong if you buy this racquet!
Comments: I just bought this racquet. I have to say that it's offering great power and fell. I used to use the K Sting which is too light for me. This KBlade Team is good for intermediate players. What a nice racquet!
Comments: I've upgraded from the Head LM4 to the K Blade Team, the other end of the spectrum of racquets. I have found this racquet offers plenty of power as well as touch. Serves are as good whether flat or with a spin. The large sweet spot helps, but if you are off of it just a little, the racquet can hit flat. I have found that if I hit a little tentative, the racquet doesn't like it. It wants to be hit hard, that's where it really comes to life. Two handed backhand or slice, both grip hard; topspin forehand can be fired up the lines or cross court with confidence; volleys can be hit with touch and feel. I've worked on grip size to find where the racquet is most responsive to me, I know its a personal feeling, but something that you might work with when demo-ing or purchasing. The racquet can perform to your level, its a big head size, something to consider. I demo-ed several, this was closest to the Head Youtek Speed MP for me, I chose this due to a little better touch on the volleys. Very pleased with this racquet, now looking for another one!
Comments: I'm a college a tennis player and I love using the KBlade team racket. I have two of them and a KBlade 98 racket I just bought. While I like the 98, the Team rackets are my favorite. This racket provides plenty of power and control. You can hit practically any shot effectively with the KBlade team. It is great around the net with plenty of pop for put-always and touch for drop volleys. I especially like serving with this racket. However I have found that depending on your forehand grip you may or may not have to use a more vertical swing to hit certain shots that you would normally be able to "swing through" with a racket of a smaller headsize. Great rackets!!
Comments: This is a great racquet it offers great topspin, slice and dropshot. At a weight of 10.2oz it offers more control but there is also great power with it. I love this racquet!!
Comments: I really like this racquet. It offers great control as well as topspin and power. I know many people that use this racquet and love it. It is great for young juniors around the ages of 8 or 9, as well as older juniors. It is light, making it easy to swing. It has a great sweet spot as mentioned in other reviews. When you strike the ball it feels so good. I recommend this racquet to many people to demo to see if they like it. I love this racquet!
Comments: This racket is amazing. It has really big sweet spot and amazing control. The volleys with this racket offer so much. You can put away shot due to its big head and big sweet spot. It has great maneuverability due to its lightness. For stronger player I would just add some lead tape.
Comments: As described great sweat spot, lots of pop and spin. It played a little stiff for my game which is why I ended up with a Kobra Tour; however I could hit fine with this racquet. It had good power almost too much when the sweat spot was hit. It feels very light, but has good plow through regardless. VERY solid on serves. Its very forgiving on serves and seemed to have plenty of power even if slightly miss hit. I had a bit better control on serves with the Kobra, again which is why I ended up with it, but I certainly could have lived with the Kblade team had I for some reason not tried the Kobra!
Comments: I have played this racquet since June 2008 and love it. Previously played with Head Ti Radical (nice feel, no power, moderate control) and then Wilson Pro-Staff (Great control, felt like hitting bricks). I generate good power on my own but typically hit a flat ball with heavy top spin. The K Blade Team gives me just enough extra punch to provide additional depth on these low shots to get the ball to land close to the baseline rather than dipping to the service line. Maneuverability at the net is fine and the large sweet-spot is forgiving for all but the most off-center hits. I like the slightly head-heavy swing weight and it absorbs shock very well. A VERY comfortable racquet.
Comments: Around 8 months ago I received a KFour FX as a birthday gift but no matter what I did, I just could not seem to get used to the headsize, the frame or it's exceptionally light weight. About 60 days ago I began demoing new racquets from Wilson, Babolat and Head (the usual suspects)and after numerous tests, I kept coming back to the Wilson K Blade Team. I have a lot of arm strength so, power was not a motivating factor but control was. I was extremely surprised a 104" head (strung at 60lbs) could offer so much control and still maintain quite a generous sweet spot. I am still experimenting with adding lead tape in different quantities at the 10 & 2 positions, which seems to help produce an heavier ball. I suggest adding about 4oz initially and add more if you are not getting the desired effect you are looking for. Overall, I love this racquet and have noticed solid and continuous improvement to my game!
Comments: I used to be skeptical about Wilson racquets, but after playing with this stick it completely changed my game, I have great confidence again in tennis. The spin potential is fairly good, extremely responsive on serves, and has good volley potential as well. I play with synthetic gut strings, and they seem to respond well to the 18 x 20 string pattern. A must demo for the 3.0+ player.
Comments: It's a very good racquet for those players that need a bit of power and control. Yes the headsize is abnormal and a bit large, but offers good control and power on groundstrokes, volleys, serves, half-volleys etc. It literally took me 8 hours to get used to it, although I recommend that you demo it before you buy because I didn't demo before I bought because of the lack of spin for me, but it's still a very good racquet with a huge sweetspot.
Comments: I think this racket is a great racket. The feel and movement flowed great. It's great for people with two-handed backhand.
Comments: Love this racquet! I felt it was time for a racquet offering more power and control and what a difference it has made. It took me awhile to get used to it but once I figured it out, it plays great. The serve is amazing and groundstrokes are deep and loaded with spin. For a few days all of my backhands sailed out but some added topspin helped a lot and volleys can be put away easily. Overall a great racquet!
Comments: I was on the verge of switching racquets but after reading some of the comments here, I decided to experiment with adding a total of 6 grams of lead to the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. What a difference! I can swing through and really hit precise spots with a much heavier ball than before. I get better depth, control and power. It is game changing, to say the least. Two things to get the most out of this stick: 1) added weight and 2) good strings at high tension. I am using multifilaments at 59 lbs but will probably raise to 60+ with this added weight. Only one complaint is that my backhand slice with this racquet is not as sharp as with a smaller frame.
Comments: Just tried this today. It had quite a lot of lead at 3 and 9, and it felt really nice. I got a lot of power and it was really nice on my arm. I had tried this racquet without the lead and hated it, the lead makes the difference. I found myself hitting strong ground strokes consistently. Give it a try.
Comments: I love this racquet. I demoed the Prince, Babolat, and Head racquets but none of them suited me until I demoed this one. The K Blade Team offers great control and spin along with power. I highly suggest this racquet it made my serve a lot better and volleys are crisp. Give this racquet a go you won't be disappointed.
Comments: This racquet is just great and I can control my balls very well with it. I am the first in my category and I need a racquet that has great control and speed. I recommend it.
Comments: This racquet offers great control awesome on serves and the best racquet I have
found so far for two handed backhand I am so happy I have found this lightning rod. Keep it up WILSON great job.
Comments: This is the mother of all racquets! Nice feel and control. Really good at the net. I agreed with some reviewers that the racquet felt a little to light. I made my racquet more "solid" by adding 3 grams of lead tape (spray painted it black so it would blend) at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions for a total of 6 grams. Wow what a difference! the balance on the racquet went from HL to an even balance, yet still very maneuverable. There is a point that I want to make here. Ok I think it is so stupid went people comment about this racquet not being powerful enough. First of all how powerful a racquet is depends on 3 things. Type of strings, its tension, and the player. This racquet with Wilson's Sensation strings at 58lbs plays TOTALLY different than with Prince's Synthetic Gut Multifilament at 63lbs. The above plays like a paddle, and is hard on the forearm. Power is low. The ladder plays with a lot of power and very easy and soft on the forearm and elbow. It's like night and day folks. Just experiment.
Comments: I demoed this racquet and personally think its great. I ordered
it from TW and I am waiting for it to come. Anyway, it has great
spin, good power, and good at volleys. I used to play with a piece of
junk, but now I know this is the type of racquet for me.
Comments: Frame on old Prince racquet finally gave in and it was time for a new racquet. I got this one and loved it. The control is unbelievable and my forehand has never been better. I had been looking for more topspin and this is exactly what I got. The pop I get from the gamma strings is great and I would recommend this to anyone 4.0+.
Comments: A wonderfully versatile racquet; plenty of pop from the baseline and a decent amount of spin as well, not what one would expect from such a dense string pattern. Not too cumbersome at the net; enough pop to put away volleys, good touch too. Wonderful racquet for 4.0+ players, it simply just feels great with a very comfortable contact, if you know what I mean.
Comments: I waited 6 months to write this review to give a fair assessment. I'm coming from Prince O3 Red and Wilson KZen. Before that, an nBlade (Henin). As we get older, it's easy to lean toward more powerful frames and open string patterns to get more pace/spin. The KBlade Team is much more flexible and less powerful than any recent racquet I've used, but has improved my technique and placement tremendously. The modern game requires the racquet to be released, not carefully executed. By going to one size smaller grip, a denser string pattern, and a more flexible frame, my consistency and ball striking has increased at a half-level. It's easy to fall in love with a cheap ace or occasional winner, but ball speed is overrated without control and the ability to move the ball into the corners and with angles. Highly recommend this racquet for fit players, 4.0 and above, who enjoy all-court tennis and hitting out on the ball with margin.
Comments: The Kblade Team is an amazing racquet. I switched from a Prince Hornet Hybrid O3 (110) because I did not like the huge headsize and the weight. However, it is still my back-up and I still love it. I like the KBlade team more. I use Luxilon Big Banger Timo 18 strings on it and a Pete Sampras black dampener on it. It is very good for groudstrokes; it allows you to swing hard but yet keep it in. It also generates a lot of topspin. Serving has never been easier with this racquet, first serves go in fast, and second serves are reliable. Volleys are consistent but are hard to control, probably my technique though. I play #2 JV singles for my high school team and I haven't lost a game yet with this amazing racquet. Try it out, it's awesome. By the way, I have not experienced wrist/elbow problems yet, after playing with it for 3 days straight. I would recommend it to the people who have developed strokes but are still working on their control without sacrificing power. Overall, a solid 9 out of 10. Made for 3.5+ players. No wonder both Serena and Venus use this!
Comments: I love this racket because of its all around performance. I get a little extra power, which I need as I'm getting older, and the control is awesome! I can hit my 2-handed backhand so much better with this stick than any other that I have tried, and I have played with them all. I can play so consistent with this racquet that I won't be changing anytime soon. It is no wonder that the Williams sisters have won a few grand slams with this one!
Comments: Great racquet. It's got a really solid feel, the control is amazing and also it is very forgiving. This racquet will give you some extra power.
Comments: This racquet is a great one for any hard hitting tennis player. It is very powerful and can last a very long time. I love this racquet and will likely continue to use it in the future.
Comments:Forehand: Can hit heavy topspin & flat. Backhand: Single back-hand. Can hit topspin & flat. Mostly singles player, but can hold my own in doubles. Here is my assessment: I currently use the NBlade OS (106) & been using it for 1.5 years. I love the NBlade. However, due to the overwhelming interest & positive review of the KBlade OS (104), I bought 2 of them and tested it for 9 months. To accurately summarize the Kblade OS (104) it needs to be compared to NBlade OS (106). The Kblade is great because of flex, serves, etc. does not do justice. 1st - KBlade in my judgment & experience is not as good as the NBlade. It lacks the swing weight like the NBlade. The KBlade's swing speed is at a faster rate, but the problem I noticed was at the end of the swing. I had to work harder to strike the ball and rotate my body almost completely to keep the ball in the court via top spin. When I hit flat, I had to hit it closer & lower to the net to keep it in the court. This can be said for the forehand and the backhand. Foremost, the NBlade kept my body in fluid motion through out the entire swing. It seemed more effortless. The extra swing weight should not be taken lightly. 2nd - Kblade is better when it comes to serving because the lighter swing weight on the entire racket allows it to cut through the air faster.The disadvantage is that the elbow can really take a hit. KBlade design tries to muffle the vibration through its 3 & 9 o'clock sponge dampeners. You will notice the voided spaces in the rackets. I have to say, it was a great idea and the KBlade wins in the serving area. 3rd - Feel; Kblade wins hands down. Every swing feels like I made exceptional contact like the pros.
Comments: I bought last week and I found it excellent, a very good tennis racket. I had tennis elbow for six months, and I was playing with a Pro Kennex Kinetic K. I. 8, a pretty good racket but without power. The only problem is that hitting the ball harder is at the end of the game I experience a small pain on the elbow that disappears with ice and ibuprofen gel in 48 hours. My comment is a wonderful racket but probably not for players coming out from tennis elbow .
Enjoy, and greetings from Italy.
Comments: This is the stick that I've been looking for. After several demos from Head, Babolat, Prince, and other Wilsons, I found this one to be just the right headsize and weight. I get the perfect balance of power and control that suits my game. I take full swings and can generate my own power (much like the Williams' sisters). I play heavy topspin, play a flat hard 1st serve, and spin/kick in the 2nd serve, and like to put away volleys and overheads in one crisp shot, and I play a fluid one-handed backhand. This stick allows me to do that and more much better than when I was playing with a Head Flexpoint. I can put balls where I want, drop shot with greater touch, and I don't have to swing as hard to get the shot I want - thus, this is also a forgiving racket with a generous sweet spot. I match this stick with strings from Luxilon (Big Banger Rough) and Tecnifibre (Red Code), and both have given me the feel and results that I like. It's better that a 'tweener', but is definitely not like it's the K-Blade 98" cousin.
Comments: I am finding it harder to play with a tour-spec stick these days and am looking for something a little easier on the arm with a midplus head. This racket just wasn't for me. It felt too light and hollow. The stringbed felt like a trampoline. It had decent stability if you strike the ball with a full swing, but if you are a tad late or have a shorter swing it can get pushed around. I realize it's not supposed to play like the KBlade Tour or the 98 but apart from cosmetics and name the Team version has nothing in common with the other Blade rackets.
Comments: I customized my kblade team, adding 3 grams at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock for a total of 6 grams. And all I can say is, WOW. The difference is HUGE. There is more power, more control and more stability. So my experience with lead tape was EXTREMELY POSITIVE. I think just a little bit of lead tape is the way to go; otherwise you mess with the racquet's serving capabilities. Add lead tape, string it at 62 or 63 lbs with a good multifilament, and it is vastly different from my first set-up. The feel is clean, crisp and powerful, and controlled. I've never hit so many winners in a match off my groundstrokes. I've never been this consistent off my running forehand either. Wow.
Comments: This is a hidden gem. It does everything great and very, very easy to play with. Control, Feel, Touch, Slice, Flat, Big Serves, Stable, etc. Glad I tried one. Now I own 3.
Comments: I love my K Blade Team. I bought two last week. Its performance was fantastic. Great ball feel. The key is not to force the issue. A nice and easy swing will get the job done. It's like you hold the ball on your racquet and then direct it to the desired spot on the court. Lots of power, control, topspin and slice. Groundies have unbelievable spin that makes the ball drop in. You can also hit flat too, no problem. Performance on the serve is awesome. Better than my old Wilson nTour. I was placing serves anywhere I wanted. I can't wait for the tournament season! If this weren't enough, this is the sweetest looking racquet I have ever owned.
Comments: Fantastic racquet! Amazing on serve, groundstrokes and volleys. This racquet allows you to really whip through the ball and direct it to spots on the court. Great feel of the ball, nice stability, terrific spin, great for flattening it out as well. Slice and topspin were amazing. This racquet can do it all. I was very very surprised. Bought two! Try it, you'll love it. I intend to experiment with strings and tension to find my favorite set-up.
Comments: This racket has an amazing feel. The flexibility of the frame offers tons of control and, surprisingly, plenty of power. Serving with this racket really helped my game. I was able to use more power on my flat serve, but still keep the ball in. The KBlade Team was also pretty good on slice serves, but the denser string pattern made it a little more difficult to put a lot of spin on the ball. When I was doing groundstrokes I felt that I could basically place the ball anywhere on the court. Volleys were also pretty solid. I would recommend this racket to anyone who is an intermediate to advanced player who wants more control and feel when playing.
Comments: After many demos, bought this one. Uncommon combination of flexible frame and dense string pattern in a mid++ frame, that works. The choice of string and, too a lesser degree, tension will change the feel more dramatically than in other frames.
Comments: I had been using the NBlade 98 sq. in, but I decided I wanted to try out the Kblades. I tried both the KBlade 98 and Kblade 104. I immediately fell in love with the 104 sq. in KBlade. I had much more power with it, but I also had a lot of control. I felt so comfortable with it. Higher level players should not be intimidated by the headsize, it is a great racquet.
Comments: I bought this racquet and while the 320 swingweight helped me get around on the ball, I also thought it was a bit underpowered with a lot of vibration in the upper hoop. This seemed to be solved with a 3" lead strip at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions and a 3" strip underneath the handle. It's a bit more head heavy but maneuverable with less vibration in the hoop and seems to hit securely at the net and backcourt. I'm still experimenting but this is the best setup I've found so far.
Comments: I demoed this frame and found it to be very comfortable and easy to get around. However, I found it to be underpowered compared to my Volkl BB10. I feel that Wilson should have made this frame either a bit stiffer or a bit heavier because the combination of light weight and flexibility does not provide enough pop. It is a very stable frame, so if you just add about half an ounce of lead, it may solve the problem.
Comments: Great racquet, best I've used so far. I went from the Wilson nTour Two, and my KBlade should be in within a few days. Great power and control, offering total precision. I'm completely satisfied to use this for the next two high school seasons.
Comments: What a great stick. Serves like a dream. Still getting used to the denser string pattern, but even my 2.5 son who has been playing for 6 months likes it. Very stable, great control & power. Can't wait restring with a Hybrid to add just a little spin.
Comments: Oh what a stick. This is a great racquet with a significant amount of power and control. I love the topspin and the pop I get on serve. It's slightly heavy to me on the net but has the right amount of pop to volley deep. I'm sold and looking to buy another as a backup.
Comments: Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I tried this racket out and actually quit tennis because it is so bad. I hate it. The frame is huge and even when you connect with it it hits so bad. I seriously quit tennis because of this racket.
Comments: I have been playing with my old racquet for 5 years, and now it is the time to try a new one with a better technology. I find myself more attracted toward Babolat racquets, and I tried Pure Drive, Pure Storm Tour Plus. Tennis pro shop guy asked me to try K Blade Team as well, which I did not want to, but I took the Demo racquet just for a change. Much to my surprise, when I played with it my whole game was changed and my partner was surprised on my topspin shots, and more control at the baseline. Long story short, I have placed the order and hope that the new puppy will do the same as the Demo one.
Comments: Since switching from the KSix-One 95 to the KBlade Team, I'm hooked. I hit so much topspin and so much power with it but the best thing is the shared holes and the fact that I can place the ball anywhere I want it to go I hit so much slice and spin on the ball.
Comments: I was hesitant to demo this stick because at 6'4, 230 I never imagined I should be messing with a stick so light. I'm normally in the 12 ounce range 325-330 more swing weight. I have demoed just about any stick at TW worth mentioning (and not) and have bought several but no longer play with them for one reason or another. Let me just say save for some vibration when returning heavy serves; I was thoroughly impressed with this one. For me, it did it all, period. OK so maybe my balls aren't as "heavy" as they should/could be, but that's not all there is to tennis. Plus I can get my balls to move and have impact in other ways. Shots that with other sticks wouldn't make it in did with this. I'm not saying this will make you a better player, you have to know what you are doing, but I just never felt like I was fighting with it or trying to do something that wasn't possible. In short, don't let the head size or spec fool you. Try it. I love baseline. I like to sit there and thrash - it handled it all day. It's stable. At the net, which I normally don't visit, it impressed as well. Lastly I agree with Mike, try to modify it with lead - game over. This stick doesn't like that. I tried a few ways and no go.
Comments: Great racquet. It has a really solid feel, lots of control, and it is very forgiving. it also gives some extra power for a little extra pop on the ball.
Comments: Since my first posting, I have made some adjustments to the racquet. I upped the weight to 11.4. This really took this stick out of the playable zone. I added lead tape under the grip and found it really changed the feel of the grip badly since it is a little larger than posted. It is almost like holding a Babolat, the grip is off that much. I found that even though the balance had gone up to 6pts HL, it really did not swing that well. I have dropped the weight back to 11.2 with no lead tape under the grip. The grip feels much better now. I have not gotten to play with the new weight yet but it feels better just in practice swings. The new balance is now 5.3 HL so maybe the feel will be better.
Comments: This is an excellent racquet. I have used the nTour and kSix-One X in the past. I only played with this because I forgot my bag and this was one of the demos available at the club. I hit with it and was hooked. If you want power, this racquet has a ton of it. It isn't advertised as such but this racquet has some "Power Holes" in place of the center grommets on the side. The best part, however, is the control. It is unbelievable. The ball goes where you want and when you want. It has improved every shot I have.
A few things: it is a very flexible racquet so string it tighter than you'd expect. Also, the grip is a bit larger than you'd expect so if you are on the edge order the smaller size.
Comments: This racket is great. It has great control and nice power. I noticed that my baseline game is so much better. Great all-around racket. You have to check this one out.
Comments: This racquet should be illegal. It's simply amazing! It's suited for my game because I rely on my power, and this racquet offers exceptional control when I need to turn it up a notch.
Comments: This is a great racquet that has plenty of pop and spin. I noticed an immediate improvement on my backhand (one-handed) when I had to reach or started my swing late. A slight flick of the wrist sends the ball deep, giving me time to recover. I have fun at the net due to the weight of the racquet. My previous racquet was a little heavier with a head size of 100. This racquet has a slightly larger sweetspot, yet does not appear to give up control. I switched due to slight elbow pain I had been experiencing with my old racquet. I immediately noticed relief on my elbow with this stick. I would recommend that others give it a try.
Comments: One of the best all-around sticks that I have ever used! This is the most powerful and controlled serving racquet ever. The tight string pattern combined with the generous sweetspot is unreal. The K Blade Team moves through the air easily, and it has enough weight that it is very stable. All said, I couldn't be happier with this racquet and the confidence it brings.
