    Has anyone tried out the Wilson KFactor series rackets yet? KTour, KBlaze or KStrike...I haven't had a chance to use a racket other than the Yonex MP/AT series, but I sometimes keep hearing that Wilson is good value for money :confused:
    Any feedback is much appreciated.

    I just got the Wilson KBlaze and can't provide much feedback since I was only playing with it for one session. From my initial impression, however, it is a bit light but don't find it to be a problem; given time, I think I can adjust to it just fine.

    Cheers.

    The KTour is quite a head heavy racquet based on initial experience and feel....probably due to the thin original grip and the balance of the racquet. Not so sure about the feel during impact but heard from some there is some amount of vibration from this range of racquets. May need to try it with new strings and another layer of overgrip to have a better analysis of the racquet.....

    maybe you prefer rainbow colours on racket......:)
    black and white, are normal colours, so, it doesnt bother so much on me....:D
    ok, for some simple review.....:
    1. kind a short - normal length racket
    2. power - is good, can match RSL X2-SP and Yonex Ti-10
    3. control - good, need some improvement:p
    my kblaze strung with BG85 @ 26lbs

    I bought my KTour in China. It works fine with me so far. The weight is 87-91g and the balance is at 29.8. But according to some websites, at least the the same one sold in US is 85-89g and balance at 29cm. Any one knows this? Do they really perform differently?

    KFactor series owners, I was wondering what the stringing pattern is like with these. Are they complicated like come of the NCode series rackets?

    The stringing pattern for the KFactor series is 22x23 and they can be strung either one-piece or two-pieces. Personally, I don't find it difficult to string the KFactor or the Ncode series.

    Cheers.
