Nishikori's Racquet

Nishitennis · 11-28-2012, 03:32 AM

In 2008、Wilson Japan sold 3000 Kei Spec [K]Tour 95 Racquets, only for Japan.
The spec was
Weight:313g unstrung (288 for Normal)
Balance Point: 345mm (340 for Normal)
Length:27.25inch
22mm Flat Beam
Comes with a Kei's Logo and a stretched grip by Nishikori's request

In 2009, he injured his elbow, and I heard that he changed the spec.
Then, in 2011 Swiss Indors, he switched to a STeam Pro, which is only sold in Japan. The story Wilson Japan gave was that he requested for more Basalt Fibers to be added. When he got a test racquet, he loved it, and requested to Wilson if he could use it immediately.
The spec of Steam Pro is
Weight:309g unstrung
Balance Point: 325mm
Length:27.25inch
22mm Flat Beam
The shape of the racket is completely same as Tour BLX 95 or [K]Tour 95, and it is not a limited production, but only sold in Japan
Also, Wilson Japan sells a Steam95, which is completely same spec as Tour BLX 95.
Then, in 2012 June, Wilson Japan sold a STeam Pro with Kei Spec for 700racquets. This seems to be what Nishikori uses right now.
STeam Pro with Kei Spec
Weight:318g unstrung
Balance Point: 320mm
Length:27.25inch
22mm Flat Beam
Comes with a Kei's Logo and a stretched grip by Nishikori's request, and replacement Grip is little bit harder than Comfort Hybrid.
However, I am little unsure about what Wilson told to Japan. What they says seem to be logical, but isn't the STeam Pro just a PJ for Tour BLX95?

Is it true?
Surly according to this site http://tocovichi.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-347.html
, it said that there is no China and Kei spec racket is different from original Kei's one. Specification of old original Kei's racket is close to Kei spec.

Well, first of all, it's only sold in about $290, and it comes with 12 Overgrips with Kei's signature printed, Kei's Choice Premier II, which is Wilson Gut and Luxilon 4G Hybrid string, original key chain, and original racket bag.
Second of all, other racquets are sold in about $230.
How do you like that?
