Wilson BLX Previews #6: Wilson BLX Pro Team FX

In my 6th BLX preview I bring you the Wilson BLX Pro Team FX, the next generation of the Wilson K Pro Team FX 100 Tennis Racquets



Comparing the New to the Old...

Wilson has made alot of tweaks to the new BLX Pro Team FX over the Wilson K Pro Team FX 100. If you want to tack a number on to the end of the new BLX Pro Team FX, it's not 100 anymore; you'll now have to tack on 103. That's right, Wilson has increased the size of the head from 100 square inches to 103, putting it right near the edge of the midplus category (with 105'' being the beginning of oversized frames, for more information I always use the Tennis Express Buyer's Guide when I need an answer to any of my tennis questions. Wilson has increased the weight by a tenth of an ounce (10.5 ounces strung vs. 10.4 unstrung on the prior K Pro Team FX), also balance in the racquet has moved from 4 points head light on the predecessor to 5 points head light on the BLX model and swing weight recieves an increase from 307 to 312, what changes will this bring to players who upgrade to the BLX Pro Team FX? I have a feeling players will find more power in this one due to the extra 3 square inches in head size found on this model vs the prior K Pro Team FX, the tenth of an ounce increase in weight probably won't be a big issue either, on to the specification comparison!
