Wilson K Factor KSix-One 95 - Should I switch?

[Omega_7000]

I am a 3.5 level player and trying to increase my level...Currently using a WILSON [K]STING TENNIS RACQUET (9.7 oz, 105 in^2). The reason I am looking to shift to the Wilson K Factor KSix-One 95 is because I want more accuracy...Should I go for a smaller head size? Do you have to be 4.0+ to go for a smaller head size?

Any suggestions or tips? Do you think this racquet will help?

This is a real big jump up in weight from your current frame.
The minimum in being happy with a frame is being able to bring it around fast enough that you are not going to be late on hitting returns of first serves, have fast hands at the net, and be able to serve the whole match without being tired with it.
TW recommends it for player's 4.5 and up, but I think you do have a point that a player's stick is nice to get more feedback when your not making proper contact.
But do yourself a favor and playtest it before ordering one. And you may want to playtest both versions of the K6.1 95 and Head MicroGel Radical Midplus, Dunlop Aerogel 4D 500 (5Hundred) Tour and Prince Tour Diablo.

If you want to stay with wilson and like the looks of the 6.1 95 you should look at the 6.1 Team. It is pretty much the exact same as the 95 except lighter. I used to use this frame for 2 years, and I really liked it.

Well i did something pretty similar too last year. Used to use a LM4 stock but switched to MG Prestige mid. Only reason why i made the jump was because I was dedicated in improving my skills but couldnt really afford gradually getting more control-oriented sticks. When I just received my racket, I shanked like 20% of shots and ones that werent shanked had about 10mph taken off from my usual strokes. But after about 7 months' progress, I'm hitting better than ever. If I could plot a graph of my NTRP rating since I made the switch to today, it go like this: 3.5, 3.0, 2.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5.
Right now, I'm pretty close to a 5.

So what I'm saying is, when choosing player sticks like the K 6.1, you really have to rely on mostly ur strokes and not the playability of the racket. With bad strokes and a player racket, you achieve nothing. But with good strokes, player rackets complement those strokes making you achive stuff that you would have never imagined you could do.

you could add lead to your racket while you push to improve your skills and once you feel like you've advanced far enough for a heavier and smaller racket, go for it. it can be tough to make that kind of jump, at least for some people anyway.
