Comments: I didn't like this racquet. It was way too demanding and the spin potential was extremely low. I feel like
it would be best suited for a 5.0 player that likes that bang the ball around the court flat and hard.
Comments: I got a demo of this racquet along with the Juice Pro and Pro Staff 90. Having played with the previous
version of this racquet, there was a noticeable upgrade in the maneuverability, but there were also times where the frame felt less
stable for me. The Pro Staff 90 had a much more stability and it seems that all of this generation of Wilson play lighter, so this one
just wasn't my favorite. Still a good performing racquet with a decent weight.
Comments: This is the best racquet I have ever owned. I switched from a lighter KFactor and I hit like I never hit
before. I could control my serve and hit it harder without changing my swing speed all that much. olleys have great placement and
this racquet is all around a great racquet for good players looking for good control and spin.
Comments: I found myself in love with the Six.One 95 series after playtesting the BLX edition for a entire year, but
found I just didn't like the 16x18 string pattern on the other version of this racquet. I researched around and searched hard to
find demos of this string patterned version, but it was rather difficult. I took a whim and bought it anyway. Amazing choice for
me. I loved every single aspect of this racquet, from it's easy maneuverability to the rock solid stability from the baseline. Even
though it had a swingweight of about 333, I found I could pretty much move it quickly anywhere I needed it to be, and with that, I
could also crush balls with that extra little weight. At 12.3 ounces, it really plays more like a 11.8 ounce racquet. Super solid on all
shots, especially serve and volley, and I could generate some nasty second serve aces with this bad boy. The 18x20 string pattern
does give me tons of bite on the ball without the ball flying on me like in the 16x18 patterned version, and I really enjoyed hitting
all different types of shots from all over the court. I do feel like if you string the racquet too high it might shrink the sweet spot,
but even with lower tensions in the low 50s to 40s gives you excellent control, just as much control as if I was using a 60 pound
tension. Nice, deep
pocket from the sweet spot, and I can have nothing negative to say. If
I had to knock something on it, I would say that I really wish they'd
make a pro Staff box beam version of it, and that they'd ought to use
pure leather grips for these sticks. But this is yet another solid
update, and I've been very happy with them for longer than any other
racquet now.
Comments: WOW! I've tried all of Wilson's top pro racquets and this tops them all in every category. I was amazed!
It has very good power when needed, great spin, and it is very comfortable. Ball placement on serves is a breeze. It has the most
control out of any racquet I've ever tried! Very Impressive! The only thing I would recommend to Wilson is that they bring back the
K-Factor carbon and get rid of this BLX Amplifeel nonsense. It makes the racquet feel weird and less connected to it and the ball.
Overall this is the best racquet on the market right now.
Comments: I'm starting to get some really good wins on the board with this stick. Amplifeel is the best!
Comments: This is one of the best racquets I've ever used coming from the K-Blade Tour and the Pro
Staff 95(2012) all those have perfect control and this one has the most power without the need of lead tape.
Comments: The major noticeable difference from last year's is the lower
swing weight. It almost feels like a completely different racquet, so if
you have the older version, don't think that the newer one is just a
small upgrade. The newer one is more maneuverable, and swings faster
despite having the same weight. Not certain what the Amplifeel was
suppose to do..I didn't notice any big difference in terms of vibrations
between this year and last year's version.
Comments: Wilson managed to add more control and maneuverability in upgrading last year's BLX. My
shots feel crisper and more powerful, yet more solid and controlled. I've tried every iteration of this racquet for years;
this and the Hypercarbon 6.1 are by far my favorites. Huge upgrade over last years' BLX.
Comments: I tried this racquet for a few days. It is very solid with amazing control. For me the swing
weight/heft was too much. I could not generate adequate racquet head speed.
Comments: I've played every version of the Wilson 95 dating back to the original Prostaff Kevlar 6.0 95.
I've had my
love affairs with various versions over the years, but nothing like the new 2012 BLX 95 version. I picked up three of
them to
replace my KFactor 18 x 20 versions after hitting with a demo stick for 5 days. The rackets felt identical to my Kfactors
in weight,
but they were much more solid and less harsh on mishits. The Amplifeel certainly does its intended job on cutting
down on
vibration. My groundstrokes on both sides were crisp, volleys were extremely solid (even touch shots) and I was able to
pick up 6
more mphs on my serves. All the benefits (plus more) of my KFactors without the need for added lead tape. These
sticks will not
be leaving my bag anytime soon. Thank you Wilson Sports!!!
Comments: I bought this racquet last week as a replacement for my K factor 95 18/20, which has been
my go-to
stick for several years. That racquet was strung at 70 lbs with a different hybrid duo (I don't r4member which). It's time
to restring
that frame, so I was interested in trying a new mix. The BLX frame is strung at 65 lbs with Lux in the mains and NXT in
the
crosses. After two long sets of play the racquet/string combo plays a bit better than the K stick. The first half hour of
play the
frame played too stiff, but by the end of play it was feeling great. All the Six-1 95's I've played with don't give you a lot
power, but
at 6' 2" and 200 lbs, I generate a lot of power on my own. I'm a 74-year-old 4.0 player,and I love the control and touch
from these
frames. I can generate a lot of topspin, my slice backhand is really effective, and the stability at net is a real plus. All
said, this is a
great racquet, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs control and stability and who has adequate power
generation
Comments: This is by far the best racquet I've ever played with. I just switched from the BLX Six One Pro
Tour 90
and before that I was playing with the Babolat Aero Pro Drive. The unstrung weight of the Federer racquet is 339g
where as my
new stick is at 332g. Even though the difference is only 7g, it honestly feels like a 30g difference. It has the advantages
that come
with a heavier stick but the maneuverability of a light one. More depth and easiness to hit my backhand slice, more pop
on serve,
my forehand is simply devastating with this racquet, there is nothing I don't like about it. Really, if you're serious about
purchasing a solid racquet with a great feel, you've got to pick this one. I'm still in awe after one week of having it!
Comments: I've had this racquet about a week and it is the bomb! Very stable frame and it is the best
performing
racquet I've ever used for my backhand slice. Excellent for volleys as well! I could generate plenty of power on my
serves with this
stick. I have it strung with Genesis Typhoon at 59 lbs and it feels very crisp! Has a great combination of control,
touch, and
enough power to hit outrights from the baseline. Go get one and see for yourself!
Comments: I just switched to this racquet from the babolat pure drive roddick gt
because I was seeking a racquet with greater control and much less power. This racquet allowed me to hit a nice flat
ball when I
wanted to but I also had the feel to get it deep with a lot of topspin on defensive shots. I would only recommend this
racquet to
players with a full,fast swing.
Comments: This is an absolutely superb frame. It has a more full feeling to it as well as not being quite
as stiff as
the previous iterations of this frame. Plenty of power on demand for when you want to really drive the ball but also easy
to use in
defensive positions as well. Killer serving. I'm getting two of these as backup to my nCode 6.1 95 18x20 frames
because, even
though they are different, they are equal.
