in response the the forehand with the kps88, there is for sure a little more plow through effect compared the the k90. I also felt the need to "windshield wiper" my forehand a little more than usual, and moreso than I did with the K6.1 95 or the MGP.
Not with the KPS 88. I felt I could drive through the ball a lot more and not have that finish you talk about with the k90. i could still hit that finish if i wanted to, but really could just swing freely with the kps88.
i think the kps88 is actually a more versatile frame than the k90. It is a bit more demanding, but will be rewarding to more playing styles with good technique
Hey Kal El,
Would you consider testing the new Tecnifibre TFlash 315 VO2 Max or the Boris Becker Pro?
Many thanks if you do.
A
yea i am not too familiar with either brand of racquet. i am seriously giving a go at the kps88 right now
i may grab them from TW for demo here a day soon though...
Kal-El, can you tell us what tension were your strings when you hit with the AG 100? Thanks for the review btw, it was excellent, and it pretty much squares with my experience with the AG100 as well.
you just wrote my POG review haha
yes.. good idea as well.. i will start adding my tensions to my reviews.. i had it at 53, 57, and 62. I feel it performed it's best at 57 pounds personally
can u make a review of volkl c10 and head liquidmetal radical midplus?? i want to decide which racquet i should get.. if they play similar, i would get the cheaper one
yahhhh love ur review Kal-ElBOARD - - be on the lookout for 2 new reviews coming your way tomorrow! peace
Kobra Tour.. thanks for clarification
calling this a tour frame is a disgrace from wilson and a waste of leather grips lol
K6.1 95 18x20 Review
Alright to begin this racquet is WAY stiffer than its Ncode predecessor.
by "big" you do not mean tall, but players who love the baseline play (and/or are good at it)... ;-)Babolat Aero Pro Drive with Cortex Review
...
Overall – 8.5 or 9/10 on this frame. If I didn’t get free Wilson racquets I would buy this one for sure.. I definately recommend it for big baseline players.
[d]ragon;3105076 said:Also, how do you think the MG and the LM Radicals compared in the serve, sweetspot size, and slice backhand departments? Also, did you find it easy to whip short angle forehands with the MG as you did with the LM? Thanks

So, as a Wilson sponsored player, what would you suggest to those people who used the nCode 95 or earlier 6.1s, don't want to switch brands (mostly a grip issue) but hate the k95 ? Got a lot of players at my club who are in that boat and they're all at a loss to know what to do. Most have tried the AG200 but none have switched to it - even the ones who were using an 18x20 Wilson.
Kal - EI 34 - did i understand you right ? Your favorite sticks are the Bab. Nadal and the MGP Pro. These sticks are so different from one another...that's my puzzlement.
Kal, I'm a big hitter, with a great forehand, with not that much spin, I love to attack the net thanks to that forehand + 1hbh. I'm searching for a good frame, according to you what would be better: PDR or Rad Tour ?
oddly enough, I have never seen a 1 hand backahnd using the PDR. They may be out there, but around Illinois and now Florida I am yet to see it. My backhand I really had difficulty controlling with that frame. However, it was awesome on the forehand.
For power alone on the forehand, the PDR is as nice as it gets. It performs well at the net, and allows for big serve potential as well. If you can control your backhand, this may be the way to go.
When you say rad tour, I don't know if you are talking about the LM tour, the FXP tour, or the MG Pro (new tour). I loved the LM tour all around. Not as much power as the PDR, but I could rip my backhand as well and had nice control. The FXP was not that great, and I really had trouble keeping strings in the frame, as I did with the MG radical pro.
Kal El - good stuff. would be curious to hear what your take is on the EXO3 Rebel Team version - any plans to review that stick?
well are the people at your club using the nCodes is huge need of switching frames? If not, why not just stick it out with the nCode?
Wilson players generally will have an issue switching brands just because of the grip and they come to know that Wilson feel. Maybe have them try an Avery frame, or one of the new Adidas frames? A lot of nCode lovers HATE the [K]factor series. If they want to stick with Wilson, maybe try other frames like a K Blade Tour or 98 or a K Pro Tour or Open. I've seen quite a few of our nCode people using the KBlade tour.
Yes, they're all down to or just finished their last frame, that's why they're looking for replacements.
They've tried and didn't like the Blades (was the first recommendation to them). Of course, it's not actually the nCode 'whatever' they like, it's the 6.1 in a form that isn't so stiff it becomes painful. It's a bit like the large number of Prestige Mid users who, when presented with the LM Prestige said 'its junk'.
