Brief Hit with the BLX Pro Tour

[Bhagi Katbamna]

I normally use a KPro Tour(96 sq. in), eastern forehand, one-handed backhand. Hit for about 15-20 minutes. The BLX feels a bit different balance than the Kpro-tour(more head heavy) but feels very solid on impact. Spin is also decent but the KPro has a more open pattern so I think the KPro gives me more spin.
If they were the same price and I had to pick one, I'd pick the BLX but they aren't and I'm sticking with my original racket.

Which one feels more head heavy K or BLX?

Nice. I guess someone can't/didn't read......

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Sorry if it was unclear. The BLX version feels heavier.

Thanks man! I just wanted to be sure. My bad

Did you feel the lack of power in the BLX version? Or the BLX version has more plowthrough than the old version? If so, how would say has the power increased from the KFactor version?

I flog around a Kpro tour every now and then. Not interested in the blx though and this thread confirms it. Thanks mate.

What confirms your disinterest about the BLX version?

According to TW specs there is a huge difference in swingweight between the K and BLX versions. These are two extremely different racquets.

That must be a typo (SW). SW is not higher than 320-322.

apparently, Chris is going to take 5 BLX Pro Tour sticks and re-measure today http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=312586

Great! I did not know that. Chris is the key for this mystery

Thanks Chris, you save lives.

i looked at one and the string pattern is extremely dense in the middle, moreso than a prestige

Didn't feel any lack of power and didn't feel a great deal more power than the Kfactor.

Yes, that was actually the biggest difference between the versions. I didn't actually feel it made a huge difference though.

This thing has the most dense string pattern i have ever seen! It makes a prestige look like a Pog... Has anyone else hit with it?

 

[Fed Kennedy]

radical design?

Is it just me or is this racquet a very strange bird? It has a tweener-ish beam but a relatively low flex, weighted kind of like a 6.1 minus a few grams and then coupled with a drill pattern that is dense beyond belief...if you've seen it in person you know that even with 17g hollow core it looks like a board...i havent hit it yet but I am imagining it will be weird...

Hit with one for about 30 minutes two weeks ago, the pattern is the most dense I've ever seen in a frame. I didn't however notice a big drop in spin levels, but I didn't get a chance to serve with the frame. I would also lean towards it having a swingweight around 330ish as it felt pretty solid off the ground.
