Wilson - Pro Tour BLX

Feedback from the keller-sports.com team:
Compared to its predecessor, the K Pro Tour, Wilson has changed the string bed from 16 to 18 long strings in the new version. However, I have the impression that the change is confined to the central region. That is to say, you don’t come into the previous surface of the 16 long strings, but now the 18 long strings. Rather, you come into the same surface of middle long strings, which instead of six are now eight. The result is that this area is presumably the densest string bed on the market. The two middle strings are so close together that, in some situations, stringing machines cannot get correctly between them.  Another effect is a very high surface hardness, so I would stay away from string  tensions over 24 or—at the maximum—25 kilos.
The tight string bed provides very good control, but it takes some the power away from the racket. Despite the hard surface, it needs a very precise meeting point to bring full power to the ball. All things considered, however, the Pro Tour BLX really does perform well.
Conclusion: A little more control and slightly less power than its predecessor. A racket for very good players, for whom the classic tournament frames are not fast and hard enough.   

 

Vendor Description:
The professional racket for the new generation, such as the U.S. Open champion, Juan Martin del Potro. By using basalt fibers, the oscillation vibrations in the racket are minimized. The result is a new dimension in terms of touch and feel. The Pro Tour BLX, with its slightly wider frame, offers you the power for the modern offensive tennis. In contrast to the previous K Pro Tour, the new version now has a 18x20 string bed for even more control.
Basalt (BL) along with nine other variables grants ten (X) opportunities to produce for each player the best racket. The new Wilson BLX's line is the result.
