For those who thought Wilson was doing away with the K Factor technology for the 2010 year, think again!

In the second of the new 2010
K Factor Previews I present the Wilson K Fierce FX, not to be confused with the K Fierce Skye. The matte black and yellow paintjob reminds me of the
BLX Pro Tour, a definite plus in my book. The 16x19 string pattern will allow for incredible spin potential for players who love to generate spin. The 105 square inch head puts this racquet in the oversize classification of tennis racquets, but players will find a fair balance of power and control even though the oversize category is known for power. The 52 stiffness rating makes this a very flexible racquet by today’s standards.
A swing weight of 284 makes this a tad bit easier to swing over the K Fierce Skye FX, but yet feels heavier than the K Fierce Skye FX upon swinging the racquet physically (both were strung with Wilson NXT at mid tension.) A strung weight of 10.2 ounces and unstrung weight of 9.6 ounces make this another great choice for transitioning junior players and players looking to take the next step to a racquet more suited for the intermediate player.
This along with the K Fierce Skye is two I’m looking forward to testing in the next few days most definitely. Look for a full play test review coming soon!!!
