    The seller never show me the product but he admit that he is selling fake Wilson badminton racquet to me when i ask about K-factor ( so i decide not to ask more further question and just walk away ) But if you want to know i'll find out soon after i have a chance to go to that shop again. About the kontrol cap i dont know the fact as much like you but the most important to me that my K-Blaze can fulfill my expectation, really a great racquet to me and can handle my stroke perfectly. Durability is another question, i just bought that for 3 weeks but so far so good to me. :)

    Issarakaya,
    I bought my racquet from someone in malaysia through the internet. I would like to know if my K tour will be a fake. I'm paying original price for it and I would really appreciate it if you can help us differentiate between real and fake Wilson racquet.

    I should be getting my racquet in the mail in about 2-3days time. I'll write you guys a good review in 2weeks time.

    Good news Kelwin, just ask the seller they dont have fake K-factor type so relax it might be original. Btw in Indonesia the price for new original K-Tour is around $80 in Sport Station shop ( empty, no string, only very poor bag ) if your buying price almost the same then there is nothing to worry as long you dont buy from e-bay hahaha j/k Anyway i consider to buy K-Tour also so i'll be waiting for review. Regards

    Ok! I've got my racquet already.
    I'll post the review, picture and etc on 7th April 2008.
    I won't be able to play till 5th April. :( All I can do now is hold it and feel the great racquet. Honestly I can feel it will not make more than 15% of difference to my game.

    My Ktour is tied at 26lbs and I feel I need 28lbs the next time I tie it.
    I just play 2 match today and this K tour racquet has some vibration.
    You'll feel it when you hit very hard.
    Maybe it's made on purpose to warn you how hard you are hitting the ball.
    It's a very powerful racquet and the best racquet I've ever used.
    Trying it and not buying is worth every second of your time.

    I'll play more next week and see if it will change my opinion.

    Yes you can buy them in the UK. I believe tennisnuts have them as well as a few others if you search on google. I recommend getting them shipped from the states though, find its much cheaper. Just got my Blaze today, feels great....just as i expected. Will be playing tomorrow so will post a short review :)

    I bought it from NRC sports, you can find a link to them through amazon and hell ship it to you very reasonably. Tennisnuts have just reduced the price of the blaze and tour to 69.99 which is rather good. I paid 60 including delivery. Yes, the blaze is lighter and more flexible.... Depends on how you play though as to what ide recommend.

    Just had a few games with the Blaze. It does exactly what it says on the shaft really. Nice and quick to defend, great flex makes clears an ease. Very pleased with the raquet, highly recommend it to any standard player. Surprising amount of power too, very well balanced indeed :)

    hi i m poisoned by this k factor.
    thinking to get one for myself. but dunno which to choose between ktour and kblaze.. btw i play doubles.
    any significant diff bet. these two?

    i found that the diff is 2g heavier in ktour and Head Heavy Balance compare to kblaze which is centre balance. is there big diff between this two?
    thanks in advace

    cant stop myself laughing after seeing your nickname.
    Apa macam?
    welcome to BC........:)
    how are you?

    back to topic;
    ktour is slightly more stiff than kblaze.
    the 2g isnt significant.
    head heavy for more power smash
    even balance for even play, offensive and defensive
    if you are good, you can pick which is good for you

    hey guy I have a AT 250 and am thinking of getting a K Factor KTour because it is what I use when I play tennis but the thing that is bugging me before I make my decision is if the KTour has the metallic feel of the AT 250 and if it doesnt is it possible to make it feel like that with lead tape or a different string and tension.
