KFactor KPro Tour Power Level? And other thoughts?

[TripleB]

Can anyone comment on the power level of the KFactor KPro Tour: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageRCWILSON-KPT95.html ?

How does the power level of it compare to some of the close (but slightly lighter) racquets that are out there?

Yonex RDS002 Light? Babolat Pure Storm (light version)? Fischer M Pro #1 98 Light? Wilson KFactor KBlade 98? Head LM Radical Midplus? Wilson nCode nPro Open? Wilson KSix-One Team? etc.

Any other comments concerning the playing characteristics of this racquet would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any input.

Most similar:
Fischer M Pro #1 98 Light

Both either need to be stiffer or heavier for my taste.

It's an aweful racquet. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone at all. First of all, it's not stable at all. It feels like your playing with a 2x4. The ball doesn't sink into the string bed; I tried 4 different string set-ups and didn't find one that felt remotely right. I tried adding weight in different places, none of which felt right. It doesn't feel good at all.

I'd liken the power level to that of the original pure storm team.

My coach said it felt very similar to some of the old fisher racquets (I've never tried them), which he said were horrible, not stiff enough and not weighted correctly.

To sum it up, while the specs may look appealing, it's not a good racquet. It's seems like wilson's trying to mix a Pure Drive with a pro staff 6.1. the result was not pretty. Worst wilson racquet I've played with.

I know you've taken your Becker Pro and modified it quite a bit, but would you say the Becker Pro is the best (ie: most solid feeling, best combination of power/control/spin, etc.) stock racquet out there in the 10.9 to 11.4 ounce category?

Thanks for the input Chris.
