KSix-One Tour 90 for a Western forehand grip

[nate_malone]

I am thinking of trading my KSix-One 95 16X18 for a Tour because it agrivates my arm (not because it is too heavy.) I am worried that I will frame too much with the 90 inch headsize because I put heavy topspin on the ball. My NTRP level is around 4.0. Are any western forehand grip people that use the K90?

My son is about your level uses a full western grip and plays with a Prestige Mid and the head size is not an issue at all for him. Head size is the same as the K90 but the Prestige swings lighter at 329 SW.

I use that frame and full western. I admit, I do frame a lot, but a lot less now, since I decided to slow down on the pace...

I think Prestige Mid is 93

I hope this doesn't take this thread into another direction LOL: this has been the subject of countless threads and arguments on here, but I think the generally accepted outcome is that Head measures from the outside of the hoop and most other makers measure from the inside so the Prestige Mid is actually around 90 sq inches.

Actually the old head racquets similar to the prestige (exact same CAP grommet) had 89.5 sqin written in the frame.

i think it'll be fine, although, it's going to require you to focus a bit more as you'll need to get used to hitting with the k90
