Should I switch?

[poncho]

Currently using Wilson NSix-One Tour 90 Ncode. Does the Wilson K Factor K Six-One Tour 90 offer something better?

Will I lose more control?
Will I gain more power?
Will I gain more slice?
Will it help my serve?
Will I notice hardly any difference?

For those who have played with both, please comment on what you found that you liked or disliked and would you make the change?

thanks

The best way is to find out for yourself and demo it. If you find enough reasons to switch then do it. Never buy a racket based on reveiws its a totally personal deciscion.

I agree with nickb-- demo it.

Personally I hated the ncode-so I never switched from the PS85. However, the K90, for me, was awesome.

Demo it! I did and I did not notice any difference. If there was any it was too subtle to be attributable directly to the frame. The string tension and difference in string type in your regular racquet and the demo can make a difference too. IMHO if you are a fan of the line of racquets, and use the nCode regularly, then the new K-Factor will feel equally good if not better or worse. And even though some people will not admit to it on these forums, it can be fun to buy a new racquet EVEN though it may NOT be terribly different from its predecessor, because you actually are a regular user of that line of racquets. That's how I bought the nCode when it first came out.

I know I should demo but it is nice to hear what others think about a racquet.
For those you have tried both: Did you feel you had more control with the K90?
Because the K90 is heavier and has a higher swing weight, are you later on shots?
