Semi-Pro
Well i was going to my tennis courts when i passed by the pro shop and they had two strange looking racquets in the windows. I went in to check it out and BEHOLD! the new Wilson [K] factor racquets
First the [K] stands for [K]arbon Black, and the new racquets will have this plus the nCode carbon. The shop had the lighter 95sq in racquet with a 18x19 string pattern bu the one i was really interested in was the one that would replace the tour. Apparently, it is heavier then n6.1Tour since it weighs 12.7oz strung vs the 12.5 strung weight of the racquets they had in the store. Also it has the longer throat area just like Federer's racquet. It also has the same exact string pattern as Fed's racquet with only 4 cross strings on the PWS. According to the guy i was talking to at the shop, its even more stable then the n6.1 Tour and has a better feel. According to him, its the best racquet since the PS6.0 80...but i cant really tell if its the truth or him just trying to sell me a pre-order for the racquet.
They actually allow demos of it, but only if u leave a credit card with them because they are afraid of theft....so anybody that lives near the Billie Jean King USTA Center, u should go check it out. The guy there says its suppoed to come out towards the end of January and Fed will start using the paintjob by the Australian Open.
