nBlade vs. kBlade

Dear friends, i am posting this thread so i can get some other opinions about these 2 raquets. I have been playing with the n Blade for 2 years and now with thw kBlade for about 2 months. I don't know about you but i feel they are two completely different sticks. Don't get me wrong i was (am) very satisfied with the nblade and the only reason i went and bought the new one was the increased stiffness which i believed would make my balls go a bit deeper and heavier (ohh, the black paint job was a reason too...).

Balls do go a bit deeper, however my arm is about to fall out after an hour of play, my wrist hurts like crazy when i go home and overall the stick feels like its 5oz heavier. So is it me or the K factor technology???

Also, it is very hard for me to find short angles, my volleys go all over the place, my down-the-line slice backhand approach goes out...(but i do keep winninng the games i am supposed too...).

I know it sounds like the kBlade is not a stick for me...but isn't supposed to be the next generation racquet?? If i break or lose the nBlade to i have to start all over again searching for THE ONE?

Does anybody else with nBlade experiance feel the same way, or is it just me.

I will be very glad to hear what you have to say. Thank you.

Yeah, i feel about the same way. I haven't gotten the Kblade yet, but from what i'm hearing, i really don't want to. I only have 2, but i really, really don't want to switch.

Stupid marketing ploys.

in my case, I used to play with a n blade when I brake strings on my kteam. n blade is a great stick. I can't say anything about k blade because I never hit with it. The only thing I can say and everybody says is that k blade is so beautiful....

look wise kBlade kick ass but play wise nBlade kick ass. Even teaching pro said the same that nBlade 98 is same as kBlade 98 with more power. Now interesting thing is stiffness is higher for kBlade and swing weight is lower but feel same as nBlade which is kind of killer for joints. I mean higher swing weight and 65 stiff enough to create problem that is way flex 57 and 332 swing weight of nBlade was ideal (also count they are head light by only 2 points)
