There is an Australian version of Wilson's Ncode six one

It is referred to as Ncode Six One Team

There are some slight differences in the paintjob.
Namely at the top of the racket the red paint extends about half inch below the guard. The writing of "nano technology" is two words....where on the american versions its one word. The "w" stamp is a black background with a white "w" instead of a black background with a red "w". There is a stamp "made in china" where the american version has "Wilson.com designed in the USA" . The PS at the top of the racket is silver instead of gold.

I'll try to get some pics of the racket up as soon as possible.

Here are the specs:



I just had it strung so, I'll have to let ya know how it plays. With it having a 98 head and unstrung weight of 289 w/18X20 string pattern, I would guess it plays like the NBlade...but that's just a guess.

There is a website that sells the racket...

http://www.********tennis.com/catalogue/c1/c23/p185


it gives the following specs....

Wilson nCode Six-One Team

Head Size: 633

Frame Length: 685

Frame Weight: 289

Frame Balance: 330

Frame Swingweight: 295

Beam Width: 22

Frame Stiffness: 70 DA

String Pattern: 18 x 20

Price(frame): Starting at $229.00
 
That's a fake. The ncode sixone team doesnt not have made in china, it has designed in USA, it has nanotechnology in one word. It has a silver background with black w, or the older model had black background with red. It also has a 95 head not 98. WHERE did you get this racquet from??????????? Im guessing e b a y.
 
if im not mistaken, i think he said he got an e-mail from the wilson australian office confirming the legitimacy of this racquet.

EDIT:

besides, i dont think a fake would have 98 sq. in. listed so blatantly. it'd probably have at least listed the same specs as the n6.1 team if it was fake. some differences, to me, r too obvious for it to be fake.
 
exactly. there was a guy (dont remember if it was you or not) that got this racket off ****. prostaff rackets come only in 85, 90, and 95 sq. in. headsizes, not 98. also, if there was an australian version of this frame, it would've been discussed and demanded in the US countless times on these boards since day one. the racket has not been discussed at all until now. lastly, wilson rackets don't have "made in china" printed on the frames itself. they have little stickers that say that.

my theory for that is....someone on the computer that designs the pattern of the throat meant to type 95 on the keypad but missed the 5 and typed an 8, which is right above the 5 :)
 
I have seen this racquet in numerous retail store in Australia. ALl say it has a 95 headsize, and all of the above in my post.

that makes sense...you're in australia. also, tennis warehouse australia didnt have anything about this frame, and i would imagine that if it was authentic, it would be in stock there since the n6.1 is wilson's flagship frame.
 
According to "Joseph Byers" Wilson's racket rep....made in china is on the rackets. I asked him that personally on the phone today.

This is not a new post, same info given in 2005. I posted those threads yesterday. Same silver PS and same 289 weight, etc. Check it out for yourself.
 
Let me add the Wilson info card that comes attached to the racket does in fact say 95. but the rackets do not......
 
Also look at the website that I posted earlier, check out the racket....check the paintjob....Thats the racket I have in hand...but its not the paintjob of the ones sold in the US.....Notice the red extending beyond the guard. The 90's and 95's do not.

Do you really think this website would be so blatent as to sell fakes??

I'll email them and ask though.
 
Dude, once again, my link is to Wilson's Australia website. You can't dispute the manufacturer's own site.
 
Just because you don't find it on the site doesn't mean it doesn't exist....

You recognize that there is another European/Asian version....no denials here...but you won't find that racket on the European site either. But they make a 95 in a 289 weight.
 
Yes, you do. Look up Wilson's Japanese site and the specs for the Asian nCode are right there.

I assume all of you don't believe that there is also an Ncode six one 105 either?

Check Japan's site....you will see a 95 and a 105.

I gotta get some sleep, I send the email info I have tomorrow.(I HOPE).

Sweet Dreams
 
yes you're correct about the n6.1 in japan. on japan's site, there is a 95 and a 105 for n6.1s. but the main point of this thread is....there is no 98 sq. in. version for n6.1 in australia. check out australia's wilson site.

Why would they make BOTH a 95 AND a 98? It doesn't make sense. They are too close in size.

yeah...that's true...but come to think of it, 90 and 95 aren't too far apart from each other.
 
Not if you played them side-by-side. There's a world of difference between the six-one Tour 90 and the six-one 95.

Yes, but Wilson's nCode 90 and nCode 95 are very different racquets with different construction, beams, etc. They are really two separate product lines - one from the PS 6.0 family and the other from the PS 6.1 family.

Besides, most manufacturers do consider 5 sq. in. enough of a difference to introduce two different racquet models from the same product line, e.g., Head LM Prestige Mid and MP, FXP Prestige Mid and MP, Prince O3 Tour Mid and MP, Volkl DNX 10 Mid and MP, etc.
 
I always wondered why Wilson decided to consolidate the Tour 90 under the six-one umbrella when it's based off the 6.0 Original...

Holding in my hand a Wilson nSix-One Team. All specs on mine are identical to those posted by the op APART FROM:

1) mine has no Made in China sticker although I couldn't say for certain that I didn't take it off
2) headsize is listed as 95 SQ IN
3) at the very bottom of the list, below the string pattern (as shown on the OP's photo) is another line which reads (in the white section at left) " SI" (in the black section to right "6.0"

There's no mention of it being designed in the USA and the only reference to nanotechnology is in the line (on the front side of the head at, roughly, 6.30 to 8.30) "engineered with Wilson exclusive nano technology". The racquet comes from a sponsored player so I have little doubts as to its authenticity.

End of the day, this is Wilson we're talking about and their quality control is pretty ordinary. Not hard to imagine them screwing up the labelling and printing 98 instead of 95 (and the Team has never been anything other than a 95sq in racquet). Also not hard to imagine that the error isn't confined to just the OP's racquet.

the ncode 6.1 team 18x20 is sold in Canada too and it's 95 sq inch headsize. it's exactly the same weight and everything as the australian version.

this guy just won't admit he got a fake

If it was a fake, why would the faker write 'Made in China' on it to identify it as a fake?
 
thats what i've been saying, its too obvious to be a fake. and i find it funny that u guys completely ignore the fact that he got an e-mail from and talked to a wilson rep saying its real. i'd believe a rep's own voice over a website. oh, but he was probably lying, right? come on, guys.
 
Hi, just thought I'd give some more pics.....these are from a asian website....


This is another asian website that gives nice clear pics....notice the silver ps, notice the paintjob at the top, with the red extending past the guard. Notice the words Nano technology is two words.

As I stated earlier, my racket came with a paper info sheet like the ones shown here stating a 95 headsize, but the specs show 632/98

The australian site I also mentioned earlier has the same pic with a headsize of 633.

check this model number: T6383C

Now are all these fakes as well?
 
well, enjoy your racquet. it may well be real in some part of the world. maybe the seller bought a whole bunch on a trip to china? i wouldn't touch it though.

apparently u thought wrong. i wouldnt mind demoing 1 of these if they ever came to the states.

No, he's right. The Team is only available in a 95sq model. If it was available here in Australia in a 98sq headsize Im pretty sure more than one of us would have seen it and Im pretty sure our Wilson rep would have mentioned it. It's also been available in the UK but, surprise, surprise, only in a 95sq.

All up, it's an okay racquet for a junior, a baseliner who wants a light racquet or a woman. Good power from a small sweetspot but too much weight in the head for my tastes (4pts HL is without strings) and too sluggish at net (despite the low static weight). The old PS Tour 95, even in stock form, is a much better racquet.
 
omg, why does no 1 wanna believe there's a 98 sq. in. head? the guy's given us proof over and over again. it seems to me like a tweener version n6.1. not a bad idea really.

because someone else bought something like this in another post, and he contacted wilson, who said it was a fake. I doubt that this racquet is authentic, its fake. There are some posters on here that are from asia, who've never seen the racquet and ppl from aus too. Unlikely that this racquet is so rare.
 
Man this is getting old....but none-the-less,....here is one more site that offers this racket for sale....with the specs listed on the site.

http://www.********tennis.com/catalogue/c1/c23/p185

Also note that Tennis warehouse Australia, does show a TEAM racket seperate from the 90 and 95.....it does not give however the picture or any info, except to say that it is lighter than the others.

I purchased this racket for my daughter, I only researched the information because I too thought this was a fake...So I emailed Wilson reps in the U.S. and am told Wilson only makes a 90 and 95. So I proceed to file a dispute with the seller through Paypal, believing what I was told by the U.S. rep through email. I had heard that there was another version of the 95 in a lighter weight, a weight that matched the racket I had in hand. So I call the U.S. rep and speak with him directly. He again states that the U.S. version only comes a 90 or 95 but he too had heard that there was an version sold in Europe and Asia that was a lighter weight but he did not have the details. I asked about the 98 headsize and he said to contact "other" Wilson offices. I went then to the Tennis warehouse sight only to see that their was in fact a Team racket different from the 90 and 95 that indeed have a lighter weight, I went to the Wilson site for Australia which is an exact copy of the U.S. site, I went to the Wilson Japan site to see that therei were other sizes other than the 90 and 95 which the U.S. rep stated. The Japan site listed a 105 as well, and a lighter weight for their 95 than the U.S. version. I contacted Wilson of Australia and emailed them concerning the headsize, and waited for a response. Meanwhile I checked out some of china's sites that sold the Team racket and behold there it was, the same racket I had, I checked Australian sites, and behold there was the same racket I had. With the same headsize listed. The question was.....is my racket a fake.....the answer is no. I withdrew my dispute with the seller and apologized. Wilson has replied only to say that my racket is NOT a fake. If it is not a fake then the specs are not fake...meaning that they did infact produce a 98.

Does the Wilson company claim to make a 98, NO.....they make a 95. Do they actually make one. YES, even according to their reps.

Does the size claimed by a company really matter? Well, lets see....take a Wimbledon eclipse expert 88 and a wilson ncode six one 90 place one on top of the other, guess which is bigger? hmmm....the 88 .....company advertised sizes don't mean squat!! I had just joined this site, but I think I'm done with it. I would rather play tennis with my daughter than dispute the size of a racket.....I wasted to much of my time the last two days for what ....nothing. Have a good day. Please let this thread die. I'm tired of it.
 
Dpr1960, why will you not listen. About 50 ppl including myself have said it is a fake. ANd guess what i was in sydney today, inspected the team version again and guess what it is 95 sq.inches, it has Wilson.com on it and not Made In China, it has nanotechnology in one word, unlike your which has nano technology in two words. Yours is a fake. Also balance the racquet on your finger and it will be head heavy, not headlight because it is a fake. I do not no why you do not listen, it is fake, and when it breaks on the stringing machine, dont be dissapointed.
 
You are only trying to convince everyone including urself it is real, so u can sell it for a good price and get ur money back. Because u know if ppl think it is a fake, you will be lucky to get $10.

all i hear is, "SOMEONE ELSE bought a racquet like this and its fake." none of u guys have seen his actual racquet in person. and as far as i know, i havent seen any attempts of him trying to to sell it. of course e-mails and phone conversations dont count w/ u guys. i feel bad for this poor dude. dpr1960, if i were u, i'd just ignore this topic for now on.

I checked the site he posted again (http://tinyurl.com/locf9 it gets blocked by TW), and the web site says the head size is 613 which is a 95in, so I dont know why you think this site is "proof" that a 98in version exists...
Click to expand...

I checked that site a couple of days ago when the URL was first posted and it did in fact have the headsize listed as 633. I see that t@pserve has now changed it to 613 but I can vouch for the fact that at one time there it was shown as 633 as the OP claims.
 
As far as I know, there does not exist a 98 sq inch version of the nSix-One. Therefore the racquet in your hands is a fake. Have a nice day.
