New Sampras Racket vs Pro Staff Tour 90

[smart_player]

I thought the ONE THING that we were all in agreement on was that the Tour 90 was originally designed specifically for PETE SAMPRAS, and NOT specifically for Federer. That's why the Tour 90 is predominately black in color as Pete told Wilson that he will only play with a racquet that was predomintely black. Wilson made it swing heavier than the PS 6.0 85 so that Pete wouldn't have to use so much lead tape on the head. Of course, this was all before Pete abruptly decided to retire. When that happened, I think Wilson made Federer the poster boy to promote the new Tour 90. Had they made the Tour 90 for Federer to begin with, they would have made it red in color as I understand that's Federer's favorite color. That's why the nSix-One Tour is red and white (like the Swiss flag). This one IS supposed to be made for Federer.

Let's assume the above quotation is true, then what will be the difference(s) between the Pro Staff Tour 90 and the new K Factor Pro Staff (apart from the 'K Factor' technology)?

The Sampras racket is not out yet. How can anyone make any comparison?

i'm saying theoretically, what could be the possible differentences (not the actual differences from a playtest comparison)

headsize is 88 sq in

 

[m1stuhxsp4rk5]

smaller head size. the throat is different. it doesnt have the cut outs like the ps tour does. not sure if u know what i mean

 

[Conquistador]

More [K]ontrol !!!

 

[nCode747]

The k factor prostaff has k factor technolgy or as I like to call it Graphite with sand in it

 

[VGP]

Theoretically, the kPro Staff sucks compared to the PST90.




I base this on extensive theoretical deduction from purely hypothetical data.

This thread just proves how much time one can waste on posting craps on the internet and in the mean time working in a fastfood resturant is their career.

Why, are you grumpy because you caught a little oil splatter on your forearms from the deep fryer today?

And yet we have time to complain about another person's post

Why the animosity? Did you drop your twirling sign today?

That's not very classy!

Black is classy.

The kProStaff isn't out yet, so how are you realistically expecting good feedback?

Yep, it is strange how people want to know how a racquet plays, when the only thing we have seen about it is the paintjob and know absolutely nothing about the specs, neither has anyone had it in his hands to tell us how it feels in play.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Black is classy.

I like the colors of the KProstaff! Does anyone know any details on the racket?

Like when it is due out?

 

[Harry_Wild]

Nice Picture of the KProstaff!

i'm sorry for the unintentional offence caused, that wasn't my original intention when starting this topic; like all of you, i just excited about the upcoming release.

 

[Samprasfan]

Not a lot of people are going to like that racquet. A lot of people don't have the wrist strength to control a racquet that heavy with such a small head size.

 

[Samprasfan]

Although I am going to try the racquet out and I'm hoping I will like it. I'm currently using the same racquet Djokovic is using. I completely forgot what it's called lol, but I think it's 12.1 oz strung and has a 93 square inch head size.

 

[scraps234]

lol nice btw its called the kblade

 

[Kal-El 34]

get off the board if you don't even know what racquet you use

 

[Craig8592505]

get off the board if you don't even know what racquet you use

LOL

In most cases I disagree with bashing someone for lack of knowledge, but in this case I couldn't agree more. Assuming he really couldn't remember what racquet he uses, he still could've taken the three seconds required to get off his ass and go check.

 

[SML]

I think it will have a bigger head than the original and lower swingweight.

 

[Silky Sampras]

The balance points of the PS Tour 90 and the K PS 88 are quite different. It is interesting why Wilson has decided to make two different rackets specifically for Pete Sampras.

I think the K PS 88 is closer to the actual lead taped Pro Staff Mid that Sampras used during his professional career.

Really, two year old thread. Really.
