Wilson's sucessor to the K Factor K Pro Open
|
Wilson's successor to the popular
K Pro Open is the Wilson BLX Pro Open. The first thing players will notice is the green scheme that separated the K Pro family has been replaced by a slick black and yellow scheme, with hints of white and gold throughout, a definite fan favorite this has been. Also the guys over at Tennis Express who provided the following video review loved it as well:
The Wilson Pro Family has long been a favorite of aggressive players who like to swing hard and hit with heavy spin. The
Pro Open BLX is now elevated to new levels of feel due to the addition of Basalt fibers and BLX technology. Big hitters will have a better sensation than ever when smacking passing shots on match day!
The
Pro Open BLX has a 100 square inch head with a strung weight of 11.1 ounces. Players will notice a definite ease in swinging this one versus it's predecessor, the
K Pro Open, the swing weight has dropped significantly (RDC tested) from 320 to 305. Offering explosive power from the baseline, the
Pro Open BLX is ideal for players looking to push around their opponent. The 16x19 string pattern provides optimal power keeping your adversary on their heels. Head size, string pattern, balance, stiffness, and weight all remain the same the
K Pro Open. The Pro Open BLX is an extremely versatile racquet ideal for players anywhere from intermediate to the professional level.
I think players will appreciate the ease in swinging to take big cuts at the ball and generate some awesome spin from all parts of the court. I had the chance to take this one out and I can definitely say I love it, no matter where I am on the court it maneuvers just as I need it to...
