WTB Wilson K Factor Rackets

[Loveofthegame]

Hi, I am looking for the KPower, KPro, KTour, and KLite badminton rackets. Will pay a fair price. I have cash or an Ipod Classic (80gigs) to trade if anyone is interested.
Thanks

I have bought all series of the k factor racquet but the only one that suits me is the k Power. Put a lot of energy to the raket and u will see the power it means by KPower. my fren shop sells to me RM270 with original wilson string plus a grip of its shop name on it. one more thing is im in penang,malaysia.

2) Why do you want the Wilson crap?

While im looking for some rackets which would perform fairly closley to some Yonex rackets which are too expensive. Do you think apacs would perform better than these wilson rackets Silentheart?

#2 is a bit harsh and IMO unjustified.

I've tried the KTour and playing feel is at least in the same "area" as the Nanospeeds/Arcs.

Cosmetically, the finishing on the KTours (HK) I've seen are better than the Yonex models (Japan, HK, Canada). These are misdrilled grommet holes, cones at angles, paint defects etc.

If they were truly "crap" I can't see why one of the pros using it would jeopardize their competitiveness by using it.

APACs rackets vs Yonex and K-Factor series? I've tried APACs AMP 90, VH1600,1700. The finishing on these APACS is noticeably worse than Yonex and Wilson. Paint chips on the shaft and cone appear on the first few hard hits. All 3 broke on me without being involved in clashes.

I may be biased against Wilson (you think?:rolleyes:). So, yes, my words on Wilson might be a little too harsh. However, many Wilson badminton products I tried (shuttles and racquets) are not up to the quality/price ration I expected. I totally stopped at n-codes because they just do not fit me and I returned them to Wilson rep and apologized to him that I will not use any more Wilson badminton racquet again. I will say most of Yonex AT line do not fit me. However, I do find AT700 as a good racquet I like. So that is not a total lost...

I agree the nCodes and others from while ago are a bit disappointing designwise (I'd almost say there is a flaw in those designs for the sake of look) and playing feel.

To me, the K rackets are an improvement. In SE Asia, you can get them for about $80cdn/us. I feel they are at least as good as the Yonex models priced around the same or 20-25% more.

The K are fairly neutral/balanced rackets that are easy to play with for beginners but good enough for advanced. More similar to the style of most Nanospeeds and Arcs but not like the MP99/100 and At700/900P.
