wilson tour 90 is longer than ncode tour 90

[pham4313]

I just noticed the extra bit length on my tour 90. It is about 2-3 mm longer than the ncode tour 90. If you compare side to side of two rackets, you ll notice the difference in the handle. THe tour 90 is longer than the ncode. With a bit higher in stiffness and extra length, it definitely feels different when playing with the tour 90 vs ncode 90. The tour 90 is a bit more powerful but not as control as the ncode. It feels more muted on the ncode too. Anyone has similar experience?
Also the weight listed on my tour 90 is 12.5 oz...i believe this is strung weight (otherwise it would add up 13.1 oz strung). So its not heavier than the ncode after all. I was able to get a brand new tour 90. I think they start reproducing this frame you ll see them more in the future.

I've played with the tour 90 for over 8 months and I must say that I have had just the opposite effect. The tour 90 is definitely more stable than the ncode 90, atleast on volleys. When you say it is 2-3mm longer, are you talking only about the handle or the entire frame? Are all your tour 90s like this?

the frame....the difference is from the end of the throat V to the taper line where the wilson logo is in the middle

Ncode has more power for me. I have the tour90 and i used it for maybe 3 weeks and went back to the 6.0 85 and then went to the ncode 90.

Overall i think Ncode is the stick. Yes it has less feel.

I would say it's just due to bad QC. I have ever had totally 5 nSix-One Tour 90's, and all of them come with different lengths (varying between 26.8" to 27.2"). I've compared them point to point, found that it's due to the different lengths of the handles. The rackets themselves are the same though.

i had both tour 90's and ncode 90's. I felt the tour 90 gave better beedback, was more stable, and more controled. I liked it for serves and vollies better. GRoundies were aobut the same, with a slight difference in feel. In all, ncode just wasnt for me. Neither one was longer than the other, this is eithe a result of poor stringing, or quality control.
