Ratings and comparisons for all racquets can be found in Racquetworld's Technology/Ratings Section

Racquetworld's Durability Rating:    95.00

Racquetworld's Power Rating:     Age 24- 94.55, Age 35- 95.04, Age 45+ 93.56

Racquetworld's Control Rating #1 (Front Court):   95.54

Control 1 (Front Court) represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court.  We’re basically looking at how certain components stacked together produce good (or bad) racquet maneuverability.  To figure this out we look at the weight, balance point, and shape of the frame.  We throw all this info into Pat’s brain along with a couple hours of hit testing and out pops the rating.  This value is useful especially for doubles players who find themselves covering the upfront court a lot.  It’s also good to know if you’re a good server and find yourself quickly putting away returns off your serve without leaving front middle court.

Racquetworld's Control Rating #2 (Back Court):  95.04

Control 2 (Back Court)  represents the traditional control rating when taking a full shot from mid to back court.  Our goal with control is to redirect the Force of the ball.  We again focus on weight, balance point, shape, string pattern and tension, frame stiffness and on court experience. 

Racquetworld's Overall Rating:   Age 24- 94.89, Age 35- 95.14, Age 45+ 94.40

Bang for the Buck  

Racquetworld's General Notes:

Wilson is kicking off the 2008-2009 season with 2 new high end frames called the KBoom and the KSonix.  The KBoom is 165 grams and the KSonix is 175 grams.  They've combined the best features from the last 2 years racquets to make the ultimate combination of power and control.  Nano Technology and KFactor in one racquet??...wow!!

What the heck is "K" factor you ask?  Well, it's Wilson's new revolutionary technology that combines the next generation in nano technology and unique frame engineering innovations that result in the ultimate line of [K]ontrol racquets for all players.  Here's the breakdown of the "K" factor:

1) [K]arophite Black - A proprietary next generation structure created through a unique process at the nanoscopic level resulting in more feel and a stronger more stable racquet.

2) [K]Zone - A combination of powerholes and power grooves technology generates [K]ontrolled power.

3) [K]ontour Yoke - New frame engineering technology that enhances stiffness at key stress points on the racquet for improved torsional stability.

4)[K]ontour Frame - New industrial design innovation that improves handling, maneuverability and provides additional feel

Combine all of this with their powerful EPS (Extra Power Strings) string pattern and you have a sure winner.  The nicest Wilson racquet we've ever hit with.

These are available in the SS (Smaller 3 5/8) grip size only.

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.

I would recommend changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), or Head TackiMac  for the added traction to prevent slippage.  The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down.  For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.  When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.

The Prince Premier string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Prince Premier string we suggest.  At the time of purchase, the Prince Premier restring upgrade is $21.95.  It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away.

If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Ektelon Silencer (Our favorite), Head Megasorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).

The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.  If you want to change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.

A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"  It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet.  Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.  For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!

We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.
