Which Wilson tennis racket should I purchase?
I am in the market for a new tennis racket. I am a freshman in college and play for my university's club tennis team. I am experienced player who has been playing tennis for about 8 years. Currently I use a Wilson n-code n6 oversize, 62lb tension and Wilson NXT 16 strings. I am a power player who prefers to stay at the baseline. I generally hit with a lot of topspin using fast, broad strokes.
I recently found out that the racket I currently use is the absolute worst fit for my playing style. As I have lots of power on tap, I am looking for a racket that gives me much needed control and slightly more topspin. I am going to demo the Wilson KFactor KTour soon, and was considering a KFactor KSix-one.
Does anybody have suggestions for me?
Thanks!
Hi macnkitty2002
Yes I agree, those racquets nCode n6 oversize are not for your play style. Those racquets are for short swingers, more fit for the advance rec player. Collegiate level, you need to start really getting the feel for what you desire for a racquet, to work with you, not for you nor you for the racquet, there is an even balance, that's why you see pros stick to the same racquet nearly all their playing career and beyond. Once they find "the" racquet that fits them that's it, no other racquet matters.
The kFactor kTour and the kFactor kSix-one, should do really well.You definitely need the smaller head size 95-100 no bigger. The relatively small head will allow you to get full-control of all your shot's speed power and accuracy. You might need a more open weave string pattern 16-80, not an 18-20, for this allows the racquet to grab on to the ball for extra top-spin, the speed and power of the spin, depends on your technique and form. See if the weight is right, head-heavy versus head-light or even-balance (close-to). This is a personal preference, I know ranked tour pros like a heavier racquet overall, the key thing to look for is maneuverability. String tension is the same, a personal preference. So you need to pay attention to that too, you'll be able to tell if a string is too tight or too loose for your taste.
Pay attention to your grip size, make sure it really feels comfortable on your hand for this will help your long rallies and attack/defense shift effectiveness. Swing or demo the two and go through all possible strokes. You cannot get into extra-fine detail nor spend too much time when choosing one, just find one that feels right, taking all the suggestions, these decisions should be relatively quick. No racquet is perfect there will always be nuances and quirks regardless of how popular or expensive a racquet is. A couple of weeks of adjustment will be required, but that's nothing.
I know this is alot but if you are at a level where you are all about the game and want to improve for college and beyond. You might need to take all this in consideration, you may change racquets through-out your lifetime, but at least you will be able to gauge it.
But if you just want to get by, well, just find one that feels comfortable and call it a day.
I hope I helped a little. sorry this is too long
Best Wishes
