help with k90 vs k95 (16x18)

[mooimabear]

Hello all you tennis racquet fanatics!
Since I don't really have time to demo racquets before buying, I was wondering if someone could give me some general ideas of the pro's and con's of the k90 and k95 (16x18) in relation to each other.

Thank You!

You don't have time to demo the racquets? Will you have time to play tennis with it once you buy it? You seem under pressure to buy a racquet...

Haven't tried the k95 but played with its older brother, the n95. Great stick but was too demanding. The k90 more so. Superior control but I had to swing full out to take advantage of it. I was pooped after 15 mins.

it's true, i am under pressure, but everyone has their own circumstances. i would really love to demo but with my situation i really can't do it. :[
as for demanding, i don't really mind it being demanding. could you be a little specific on the different aspects of the racquet?

thanks

what's your playstyle and preference?

personally, i thought the k90 outperformed the k95 in all aspects and would suggest you go with the k90.

What's your situation for not having time to demo? If you don't mind me asking....

I would go with the K95 not to Many people can play with the K90.

Power: K95
Control: K90
Spin: K95
Serve: K90
Volley: K90

The K90 has a small sweetspot compared to the K95 (obviously), but if you can hit the sweetspot, then I would go with the K90. The only way I would go with the K95 is if you are an aggressive baseliner.
