Control Rating #1
(Front Court): 94.55
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.

Control Rating #2
(Back Court): 92.57
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.

General Notes:
Wilson has 2 new middle of the road racquets
for the 2008-2009 season. These are called the KLite and the KRok.
The KLite is a perfect racquet for those who want high end technology, a lighter
weight at an amazing price! The KRok is for the player who wants all of
that but 20 grams more! These racquets will also be popular for those
players that desire a traditional up and down/side to side string pattern.
Wilson has 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 the SS (Smaller 3 5/8) grip
size only. This Racquet Does not Come with a Cover.
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.
