did i get ripped off? HELP wilson h22/h19

[austintennis2005]

i recently bought a WILSON K blade tour that was advertised as 'pro stock' and 'probably a 'H19 model'... i got the racquet today and think it might be just a stock K Blade Tour 93... please help me to figure out if it is a stock KBlade 93?
or a real pro stock H22 or H19? thanks!!

the head size is 93 sq in

 

[dr325i]

Both, H19 and H22 come in 98 sq in head.
One is 21mm and other 22mm beam width.
Both come in various PJs - kBlade Tour, kBlade 98, etc.
so, if you are sure it is a 93 sq in head, it is NOT the h19 or 22

great. that is all i need to know...thank you VERY much.. i will try to get my money back from the auction site

 

[austintennis2005]

is there anything else that would distinguish this racquet from a 'pro stock' h22/h19 that i can use as evidence?

What does that Wilson sticker say inside the throat? Can we get a clear photo of that?

If i saw correctly it's a racket that's supposed to be used by "someone" in Australian open.. Am i right? I have seen the listing. And the sticker just sais the date?

 

[austintennis2005]

ya that is the listing.. i should have known better he said 'no returns' but hopefully i can build a case with ****..

On an H22, you wouldn't be seeing a graphite weave on the 3/9 spots. Not sure if the Blade Tour had that or not.
EDIT:After comparing, yours is 90% just a Blade Tour....
EDIT2: 100% sure its a regular Blade tour

 

[stronzzi70]

IMHO....this is just K blade tour retail...........sorry

 

[atran3]

I have both h22 and h19 and the kblade tour. This racquet is for sure not an h22/19

 

[president.s]

Are you sure that is a 93inch head?

 

[Seth]

That's not a 93in head - and by reading the description on the auction site all they stated was it was "pro stock" never once does the seller claim its an h19/22.

You have very little grounds on getting a refund - why don't you try to compare with a retail version? If not I'm sure someone round here has the exact dims of a retail KB93 to matchup with.

Much to the chagrin of OP, this is correct.

Much to the chagrin of OP, this is correct.

he did state that is was "pro stock" and a "paint job" and in a private email he stated that it is 'probably an h19' and 'probably 95 sq in head size'

im certain that it is a 93 in head

thanks everyone for the replies

Well, if I'm looking at the right listing, I believe the seller explicitly said "Djokovic used to play with this pro model racquet." Can you establish that this isn't the case?

By the way, and I'm not saying that you'll take this step, but I'd be pretty careful in claiming someone was lying to you on the basis of 2 sq. in.

Actually 2 sq. in is quite a lot..if someone sold you and extended length racquet it would only be 1/2 inch longer that a standard racquet but the difference in feel would be great

 

[Tamiya]

so you've measured every one of the 93 yourself?

 

[Chotobaka]

Since when did an ordinary sticker that could be created with any Dymo or Brother label printer become provenance of a pro-played racquet? As an aside, take a close look at the yobbo from Spain posting here who is claiming that sticks, shoes and probably underwear signed by Nadal and other Spanish players are legit. Dummies beware.

With extended length racquets, the additional length is concentrated on a single plane that can be easily measured. In contrast, the 2 additional sq. inches of length can be located anywhere along the string bed. If you think you can spot such a difference definitively to call someone out on it, and essentially imply fraud, well you've got quite the eye. If someone said that to me, I'd ask them to prove it, can you?

 

[austintennis2005]

i doesnt matter if it can be measured or not..my point is that 1/2 inch of added length makes a significant difference in the feel of a racquet-so does 2 sq in smaller head..this was only one of MANY misreprensations of the racquet but still enough to warrant misrepresentaion on its own..and you dont have to 'spot' it-its well known that that model is 93 and you just have to hold it up to a 95 to see the difference

Negative on that one.

According to the video the retail stick inside yoke has the Wilson oval
offset to the left to allow room for the hologram sticker at the grip end.

Pro stock stick has Wilson logo centralized... Like in your pic :-?
