A full overview of the new BLX Pro Tour, the next generation of the
K Factor Pro Tour.
|
Today I thought I'd mix it up and give you guys something other than the next gen of 6.1 frames coming from
Wilson for Wilson's 2010 lineup. I'm presenting the newest
rendition of the Wilson
K Factor K Pro Tour: the
Wilson BLX Pro Tour.
Initial Thoughts
Pulling it out of the box.. the green paint job the K Pro family had is gone! Replaced by a split black and yellow paint job that will represent the BLX Pro family for the new lineup of K Pro racquets. The Pro Tour is probably the slickest one of the Pro family in my personal opinion; sporting a flat black and yellow paintjob with gold 'BLX' lettering it's gonna be a big hit for those who're looking to replace their K Pro Tours with the latest model.
I think
Juan Martin Del Potro is going to enjoy this new stick.

The Swingweight has gone up quite significantly over the prior K Factor model, I wonder what you guys think of that, was it a bad move by Wilson R&D? Or something that lacked in the K Pro Tour that the BLX Pro Tour has improved upon? Let me know what you think, leave a comment below! For the rest of the Wilson BLX previews check out my blog
