Do you remember Wilson K pro Tour 96 racket ...
I play with Babolat pro Hurricane tour 24/23kg ...
For me this is the best racket, but I broke this racket ...
Is it Ultra97 good substitute for Kpro Tour 96 ?

I think the ultra 97 will be the closest frame to the kpro tour 96. Add a little weight to the handle to get the same weight and balance. Both have a 64 flex.

The pattern on the 97 is very open even in the middle. The KPro is a tight pattern in a "power" mold frame. I would say that the K Pro 96 was much closer to a 6.1 than the Wilson Ultra 97

Having played with both, I can confirm the Ultra 97 plays very similar to the K Pro Tour
I've found a brand new K Pro Tour 96 for sale in my country. What would you say the modern equivalent would be please?
I've owned:
N Blade 18x20, K Blade 18x20, BladeCV 18x20, RF97A, Steam99, Steam99s (yuck)
Tried: Yonex DR98.
I've got long swings with low to med spin, traditional play. 4.5-5.0
