    Malleable? Doesn't malleable mean easy to bend without snapping.............. .......................

    Could you give everyone a mini review once you've played with it?

    Ah, that makes sense now.

    I look forward to the review - I'm quite interested in Wilson badminton products. Enjoy your new racket :)

    Hey where in Singapore do they come with so much stuff?

    I went to queensway, none of the shops sells wilson stuff.
    Only RSH have it and if I'm not wrong, the model that drift got is selling at a promotion price of sgd$79.90 (Original retail price $309).

    Are there anywhere else that comes in affordable price for rackets in sg?

    I got a Ashaway Power Platinum(I can't find this online, anyone knows abt this model) for $70. Is it overpriced?

    hello there
    i'm new in the forum but i try to give a little review about some wilson rackets.
    I'm more a allround player, having a hard smash.
    last 4 years i play wilson rackets. till now i played the old version of V4, the recent V4, N2, N4, nZone Surge, newest once are K-Blaze. Comparison to yonex rackets is difficult for me, i only played MP21 and MP55.

    V4: Something between head heavy and balanced, stiff. Had a very good feeling, with strings around 11kg.

    N2: Very head heavy, very stiff. i can't handle this racket, losing all drive ralleys cause of this head heavyness. for me it's more a "heavy weight training racket" for my wrist power. :)

    N4: this racket i liked very much. medium flex, head light. In my club, there are a lot playing this racket.

    nZone Surge: Head heavy, medium flex. head heavyness is almost like V4, but the medium flex i couldnt handle. This racket has also a high vibration, thats why i returned it after playing a week.

    K-Blaze: medium flex, balanced/head light. this racket i play now for 3 weeks. i didnt put on new strings yet, which i guess would have little better feeling for me, but i can say i love this racket. It gives a lot power when you want a place a hard smash. feeling is overall very good. dont want to change with any racket.

    MP55: think it's a good racket, flex medium(little stiffer then K-Blaze), balance is near the K-Blaze, but i feel, that this racket dont generate that much power as the K-Blaze.

    Overall it think Wilson improved a lot the last past years. I would recommend K-Blaze to any allround with slight tendence to offensive or even defensive play. Love the speed it generates by short swings.

    hope this helps a little ;)

    dude, the ktour is my all time fave. its head heavy for some serious in-your-face smashing, and is a little bit heavier than graphite, but more than makes up for it with its durability:cool:

    Balance is the center fo the racquet fo which it can balance on. A racquet that has a balance closer to the head, is head heavy

    actually, i have heard many people say that the Kblade has more punch, and retains a lot of the control. oh well, i havent bought any of them yet....

    Hi, i just got a Ktour 3 weeks ago, it took a while to get use to since my last weapon was a gosen fp 4. I paly 3 times a week and i must say the Ktour is one heck of a racquet. Plan to get another one just in case they stop production!!!! Tried a Kblaze before i got the tour and just like the fp 4 i found it a bit too light for me. Never got a chance to try the Kblade, sadly i cant help you there. I dont think contorl is an issue with the tour but reaction speed when under attack is a bit slower i guess due to the slightly head heavy nature. Hope it helps, happy badminton guys.

    Just tested the Ktour today, I managed to convince my friend to get it. haha!
    Its a good racket for attack maybe due to its weight.

    i personally own a Ktour and a Kblaze.

    Ktour is slightly head heavy and mild stiff. Best for singles player who love power.. Kblaze is rather even balance at 4U weight for fast game playing style. Simply love the paint work :)
