Help! Wilson BLX 6.1 racket of unknown origin

[AngryGermanGuy]

I have a Wilson BLX racket and its called Six.one.105. I have never seen this racket anywhere online when I try to look for it. It has the same red - black decoration just like Federer's Six.one TOUR. Is it a fake or a limited prototype? The shop I buy it from never sells fake so... Has Wilson ever actually made a BLX SIX.ONE.105??

I have never heard of a 105. And I am a racquet guru

Yeah, back then I was small and it was on sale so I bought it because of the cheap price. When I search for it online, only Vietnamese and Japanese(or some other country) results show up??

So then it's real.
Fakes would be made for successful and wanted models, not for obscure and not existing models. So it's definitely real.

Wilson currently sells a Wilson Six.One 102 lite in Europe but didn't bring it to market in the US http://www.tenniswarehouse-europe.com/Wilson_SixOne_102_Lite_Racket/descpageRCWILSON-W102L.html

They also make a variety of adult recreational racquets that TW may not cary but a local box store would. Often they are named and painted somewhat reminiscent of a racquet from their performance line. It sounds similar to the 'Federer Pro' or 'Federer Team' in this catalog. http://ns.wilson.com/tennis/catalog/2013 US Racquet DWB.pdf

Love the translation.

"Are many scratches on your problem".

Yes, some problems can make you need to scratch.

That rakuten link looks like a fake auction to me - some kind of computer generated mash up of keyword text.

What does it look like inside the handle if you remove the butt cap? My understanding is that if it's BLX, you'll see the piece of basalt composite insert running through the middle of the handle... although not sure if that's true for every BLX. Maybe someone else can confirm that's true...

I think it's real, probably a recreational racket introduced back in 2011
