If you thought Wilson was doing away with the K Factor technology think again! Here's the first of the new K Factor offerings.

For 2010 those who thought the
K Factor/FX technology was gone for good, you’re wrong!
Wilson is releasing a few new frames that will incorporate the K Factor and FX technologies! The
Wilson K Fierce Skye FX is a new model from Wilson for the 2010 lineup. I love the color scheme on it, black and blue are my two favorite colors.
Upon first picking up the K Fierce Skye FX, I feel that it’s a next generation of the game improvement racquets for Wilson. A 105 square inch head will provide players plenty of pop that they’re looking for to get their shots in deep. The racquet’s weight is in at a strung weight of 10.2 ounces, so there is some heft on it, but not a lot that it won’t be safe for transitioning juniors.
I’ve always loved the Wilson K Grip, and I’m glad Wilson didn’t throw it away, and it’s found a new home here on the K Fierce Skye FX. This racquet is more on the flexible side, after testing it on an RDC machine three times I turned up with the result of a 52 flex rating. I also tested the swing weight three times and averaged a 292 swing weight, so now I’m very anxious to get out on the court and hit with the newest of the K Factor offerings from Wilson, stay tuned for a full play test update! As always, you can jump in on the BLX discussion on the Tennis Now
