Wilson BLX Previews #5: Wilson BLX Tour (Justine Henin's stick for 2010) *UPDATE VIDEO REVIEW*
A full overview of the Wilson BLX Tour, sucessor to the Wilson K Tour
The Successor to the Wilson K Factor K Tour Tennis Racquets is the all new Wilson BLX Tour. Stick of choice for Justine Henin's return for the 2010 season.

Comparing it to the K Tour not much has changed; head size and weight remain the same at 95 square inches and 10.8 ounces strung respectively. Swing weight has been bumped slightly from 336 to 340. Flexibility remains the same at 65 just like the K Tour. The BLX Tour unstrung is 2 points head light, a slight change over the K Tour which was 1 point head light unstrung. A slight change coupled with the swing weight increase might bring a feel most K Tour users thought the K Tour lacked.

Courtesy of our friends at Tennis Express, we're proud to present a full video review of the BLX Tour!

Gotta agree that these are not the best looking paintjobs out there, but I guess it'll suit Justine just fine. :)
