Wilson BLX Juice 100 Racquet Customer feedback

Comments: This is a great all around racquet. It can definitely be compared with a Babolat Pure Drive. I have used it for about 3 months now. I placed some lead tape on the head for a heavier swing and Luxilon ALU on the mains with Wilson Sensation on the crosses. The combo is incredibly powerful and spin comes effortlessly. I highly recommend this stick for an intermediate player looking to add a bit more power to their game.

String type and tension: main: Luxilon Alu Big Banger, Crosses: Wilson Sensation at 58 lbs

Comments: This is the first racquet that I have demoed in a long time that had me smiling from ear to ear. It gave me an instant confidence right from the get go, without even really having to get used to it. Coming from the Prince Black line, this racquet has all that you would want: crispness, power, control and feel. I've tried many sticks in the tweener class (including the new Pure Drive 2012) and this one is a must try. I have heard that it can be string sensitive, so take that into consideration when testing. It paired extremely well with the Luxilon Savage string.

Comments: My first impression was not that good. I changed string and the results were much better. I could hit really crisp volleys and ground strokes with this racquet now. The serves had good placement, spin and pop. The strung weight on my racquet is a little heavier at 11.5 ounces but it helps this stick be more solid. I usually use an oversize Head racquet but this Wilson was really solid.

Comments: This is a great racquet. I found it more stable, more comfortable and even a bit more powerful compared to the Babolat Pure Drive! Really a good job for Wilson!

Comments: Recently traded my 2012 Pure Drive for the Juice 100 as I just enjoyed the feel more. The spin is insane due to the 16X18 string pattern but surprisingly maintains pretty good control as well. Another great aspect is that it's fairly headlight, so it's customizable with lead if you are accustomed to a higher swingweight. Based on my skill level I typically play with the Head Radical Pro but racquet is a lot of fun if you want to blast someone off the court.

Comments: This is a must-demo if you're thinking about a Pure Drive or similar frame. It's much quicker through the ball, hits heavier with more pace, terrific on returns and at net. Made the switch after playing with the PD for years and never been happier.

Comments: I demoed both Juice and Steam 100 racquets and I decided to choose the Juice, it really gives you the juicy tennis, whatever you're asking for. I used to use BLX Pro Open (a very good all-around racquet itself as well), so of'course I want to keep the same feeling or even better feeling. After I tried the Juice 100, I just felt that this is it. This stick gives you tremendous power yet lots of control and spin for your baseline game. I used it to play against my friend who beats me all the time before, but no more since I used the Juice (feels like cheating!). Sometimes, I can't even believe that I hit the shot with that much brilliance. Just because it gives you lots of power for the ground strokes, it doesn't mean that the Juice would take away the control for serve and volley. I won't say it's perfect for the net game, but it's simply good enough for all-around players. The one and only con might be the unstable when you return the serve, but after I bought my own and use my own hybrid combination of strings, it doesn't seem like a problem anymore. Well done, Wilson. This is it, I regained full of confidence and ready to steam rolling in the summer tournaments. Come on!!!!!

Comments: That was a heavenly racket. Power, control and easy bounce on forehand, and easy maneuverability (doubt I spelled that right). What else would you like with a racket. Perfect for a junior player (not sure for an adult cause I'm not one but my two coaches just placed an order so it seems go for everyone). Ill see how much money I have in my piggy bank to buy this one!!!
From: Shant, 2/12

Comments: A very headlight frame with power, very crisp volley producing frame. Extremely quick through the hitting zone on groundstrokes and especially on the serve. With it's headlight balance it can get pushed around against heavier hitters. Excellent spin producing frame, but it produces a bit of a lighter ball at contact than with other frames. A very interesting demo session with this frame.
From: Curtis, 2/12

Comments: I demoed this racket at a well known retail store with an indoor tennis court(kind of cool!). I came with high hopes and expectations. It might be premature, but I was disappointed. The racket was strung with an unknown hybrid set up at unknown tension. My take was that my ground strokes landed deep and sometimes long. But, the speed of the ball was slow! I mean slow! The static weight felt real good! TW staff nailed it just right when they commented that the racket felt unstable against heavier hitters. THAT IS TOTALLY TRUE!!!!! Serving felt good, but my backhand slice was just HORRID!! Just a nightmare! On the other hand with the BLX Steam 100 my BH slice was just awesome! Another thing, what is this amplefeel or what ever is called. Didn't feel any difference than other BLX. Matter of fact my (k)Kobra Tour felt much better and comfortable. If you play at the 4.0+ level, you might need to lead up this thing in the head a little bit(4-6 grams should do it) If you are a beginner, than it should be ok. I don't want to diss this frame just yet. Might demoed it one more time and see what happens.

Comments: I am a tennis coach and I just ordered one from Tennis Warehouse Europe. WOW...just WOOOW, This is IT! The future weapon for all aggressive players out there. Very powerful, control is still there, the feel is amazing for this kind of racquet. Sweet spot is big and that helps so much when you are playing aggressive, close to base line. Serves are atomic, volleys crisp and easy to hit. If you are a doubles player...look no further! Good job Wilson !!!

Comments: Just demoed this racquet for a week and I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if this is a replacement for the Pro Open but it should be. It has everything I liked about the Pro Open and improved on my dislikes. Definitely a more solid feel all around but it it was still comfortable despite the stiffness rating. Great spin, solid volleys, and nice to serve with.
From: Dan, 1/12

Comments: Just demoed this racket. By the specs it looks to be very stiff but it doesn't play that way. Very comfortable, clean/crisp volleys, controllable ground strokes and serves.

Comments: I really wanted to love this racket having heard so many positive reviews in the media. First off, coming from the Wilson family of rackets like PS 85, Blx 90, and K factor PS88, this racket appears very powerful and not so control oriented to me. Easy access to spin and power. Found to be extremely maneuverable and great feel. Not crazy about the whimsical paint job. I do like how Wilson hides the specs in the streaks of paint, but making reading the specs a tad difficult. Overall, if you want supreme ball control try the new BLX prostaff's. If you want slightly more focused ball spin try the juice pro 96. This version is like an improved AERO pro GT, (Nadal's current racket) with Ampifeel. Your joints will love you for it. I can see this line of Wilson rackets being used by older players that are suffering from joint pains due to racket vibrations caused by older racket technology.
