Wilson K-six one 95

I demoed the Wilson k-six one 95 and they only had the 18X20 string pattern.
I was wondering whether it is much different compared to the 16X18 and what the actual difference is.
I was also wondering which is more prefered.

18x20 for sure, Havn t hit with either one, but most people seem to say that the 18x20 swings easier

I've tried the 16x18 and i really like it. I don't know which one is better though.

I have the 16x18 ncode 95 and love it. I have tried the 18x20 and I am not sure that I would agree that it swings easier, I hadn't noticed a difference.

It could be mental, but it felt like the 16x18 had a little more pop than the 18x20, but both are solid racquets that are equally suited for baseline and volley play. Overall, I don't believe that there is a drastic difference. You can generate a solid amount of spin off both variations, control is pretty close and serving is great.

I play the 16x18 because I like the little bit of pop. I play doubles and it helps for my kind of serve and volley game. If I played more singles, the 18x20 probably would be fine.

On another note, the 16x18 seem to be much more popular and therefore the 18x20 usually sells for less money on the used market, IMO.

Hope this helps.

Well when i pick up the k six one 95 and do an air swing, it feels much heavier.
I was thinking about the n six one 95 and know that both racquets are similar and the n six one 95 has a lower swingweight and may be easier to play with since i come from an ntour.
Would the n six one 95 be a better fit because it has a lower swing weight?

Sorry, didn't knotice the "k".

Other than the k95 team, my experience with the k95 is light. Having said that, I also thought the k95 seemed to be a tad heavier in swingweight.

I like the ncode so much, I have no reason to change.

If you are coming from the n90, you will find the n6.1 95 and k6.1 95 easier to swing. the ntour95 is lighter than both the n6.1 and k6.1.

There seems to be a big difference in opinion between the 16x18 and 18x20; whether the n or k version; and typically it is a love/hate thing, so little room in the middle. I lean towards the 16x18 version and would recommend that you wait and demo it before buying the 18x20. I think you will find that the control is close and every other part of 16x18 is better.
