Wilson's newest model for the 6.1 Family, the Wilson BLX 6.1 Lite
|
Wilson has given users a new frame to pickup if you've used a past 6.1 family racquet and just getting back into the game after sometime away from the courts.
New for 2010 is the Wilson BLX 6.1 Lite, never before has Wilson released a 'Lite' version of a 6.1 frame, so I'm anxious to get out on the court and hit with this one since its super duper new. My opinion is that the racquet is aimed towards junior players transitioning from a junior frame to an adult frame, with its strung weight at 9.6 ounces and 102 square inch head it’d make a perfect stick for transitioning juniors in my opinion.
This racquet brings one of the most popular stcks, ever, to a future generation of young champions. Woven with Wilsons new Basalt fibers, the Six.One Lite BLX offers exceptional feel in a lightweight package. BLX technology serves up the best feel available along with ample power and control in a competition level package.
Swing weight checks in at 298, right in the perfect range for a transition frame or even game improvement frame! Wilson hit two nails on the head with the 6.1 Lite in my opinion. Stiffness checks in at 70, so it’s going to be right in that sweet spot players seek for flexibility.
I’m curious to see what this frame is going to play like, a Pure Drive Lite? What do you think? Drop a line here!
