[voda10]

So i just got the racket and everything seems to be fine..
i just noticed that on most KBT it says "TM" after the (k) sign near the handle..
and on mine it says "TM" after the "TOUR" word..
like that- (k) blade TOUR tm
and i saw some- (k)tm blade TOUR
is that ok?

and another thing .. it weight 11.5 insted of 11.4 unstrung without nothing on it..
is that legit?
(beside that its all good)
- dose anyone knows anything about fakes KBT?

Yeah that's legit. It is a Wilson racquet after all, they have poor quality control. And as for the trademark logo, it's probably just a newer batch of racquets from the company, nothing to worry about.

thanks man!
anyone with a bit more details?
dose anyone here ever saw a fake one?

 

[Blask]

I've never seen a fake one first hand but I had the same thing happen to me on another Wilson racquet (6.1). It's just a different production batch, that's all.

Wilson racquets, IMO, should be blacklisted. In my book, they're notorious for some of the worst quality control ever. A buddy of mine bought two KCourts that were completely different in weight and balance. It really throws him off if he breaks a string.

It's just a different batch... no big deal.

 

[Cross Court]

It should be fine, but just to make sure check if there's a serial number in the throat.

I had this issue with my KBT's as well, and it literally seemed like one of them had a smaller head size. Aside from that, there were minor imperfections in balance and W, but no biggie.

Yes, it's fine. It's "trade mark." People over blow what they call "fake" racquets here. When in fact most of them are actually grey market racquets destined for other global regional zones than the one that you're located. But I don't think yours matters. Did you get it from the bay? BTW, how's the racquet, have always considered getting it.

thanks guys..
well its at the store for stringing now.. ill let you know in a few days how is it..

btw.. im stringing it with luxilon big banger 16, 58 lbs.. hows that for this frame? any suggestions?

and about blacklisting wilson, well, i never played with any other brand.. (had a head racquet years ago but nothing serious)... but i think my next racquet will be a different brand.. because, as i see now, wilson dose have a lack of quality control...
so what racquet will be similar to the KBT?
and if anyone have more info about the KBT ill b happy to hear (KBT owners if any)..
thx!
