About to buy this Wilson nCode 6.1 Team Racket...Is it real?

[mtx]

I'm about to buy a 8/10 Wilson nCode Six-One Team 18x20 Racket from my friend but I just wanted to make sure it was real before doing so....Apparently he got it off the infamous racketguy from **** (http://cgi.*********/WILSON-NCODE-N...ryZ66831QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) but it's funny because my friend's racket is a bit different than the ones shown everywhere else...

My friend's racket handle/grip is white and it says ALPHA while all the other ones found on Google are plain black. The other difference is my friend's racket strings are clear/white while the other ones on Google are clear/white with the red Wilson logo.

Should I be concerned at all?

And is 75 USD a good deal for this moderately used racket?

your friend probably regripped it and had differet strings...and 75 bucks for this racquet is a pretty good deal but i think it would be more worth it to buy a new racquet at that price such as the liquidmetal radical or dunlop m-fil 300

Reason being?

 

[noobplayer]

because those racquets i mentioned are around 75 dollars new

So you're saying the rackets you mentioned are better performers than the nCode 6.1 Team? Or just a better value at that price range?

Any suggestions on this racket?

The rackets that noobplayer mentioned are similar in spec to the team so it'd be smarter to get a new racket that plays more or less the same to the tour for the 75 bucks.

Also, the rackets aren't "a better performer". They're a bit different. If they suit your style of play, they're for you. Otherwise, they're not. Simply really

Just my opinion.

Which one's more beginner friendly?

Dunlop M-Fil 300 or the Wilson nCode 6.1 Team?

 

[noobplayer]

i would say dunlop m-fil 300 since many on this board use it, i use the n6.1 team and find it very demanding

Thanks.

Any particular type of strings you recommend from Wilson, Head or Babolat? I'm gonna most likely buy the racket off an **** seller, so I might as well get some strings off him too...

Try NXG 17 @ 60. My instuctor's is strung at that and it feels pretty good
