And you are correct. Both frame stiffness AND string tension have an impact on control and power. The greater the string tension the greater the control and the lower the power.
Of all the racquets I have used over the years, I have that the Kblade has provided the best overall feel, a good mix of power and control. Couple the racquet with Kirschbaum Spiky shark strings and the spin you generate is trememdous. Furthermore, as a player who used to break strings every other week, his string has not broken in 6 months.
I do own this racket and im in the Uk.- kblade 98. i have lead at 3 and 9 o clock and also inside the grip towards the bottom. I string it with pro hurricane tour in the mains at 52 pounds and natural gut VS 130 at 54 pounds. Since i have leaded it , there is more stability and its a great racket for taking a swing and with the string combination , great feel and spin capability.
hey will ! have an eastern grip and im currently playing with a technifibre Tfight 325. I like this racket cause it is very stabile and allows me to hit big flat shots... I would describe my game as a mix between delpo and fed (of COURSE on a quit a lower level - my ego is not that big) because I have tried to copy their shots by watching ur slowmo videos of their groundstrokes. THis has improved my game and allowed me to hit more flat. I have a one handed backhand and my FH varies between
I am demo-ing this racquet right now....and I like it. I doesn't have a large sweet spot, and feels pretty stiff, but there is a solidness that is very satisfying. i like the accuracy and control, I'm just trying to see if I will be okay generating my own power more than with the Babolat Pure-Drive. The Babolat feels lighter and more forgiving and has a larger sweet spot, but doesn't have the same solid feel and degree of control.
I have tested this racket when I was looking for a new racket. I didn't like it at all, but I guess that had more to do with my abilities, or me being used to a wholly different racket. One thing I didn't like at all was that it was relatively hard on my arm - the most uncomfortable racket I've played with so far. I decided to get a Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex in the end, and I love it (the other candidates in my final selection were the HEAD Microgel Extreme and Prince O3 Speedport Black).
been using this racket for 2 years but I'm moving on. I play off my opponent's power and don't have a ton of power myself, so it's hard for me to be aggressive on floating short balls. if you're tall and thin like me you also might find this racket can be tiring in extremely long rallies because it's fairly heavy. overall this racket has given me mostly good experiences but I'm moving on to something to fit my game a little better
Very interesting - I always thought that string tension dictated control v power. I wonder how this would do in my Irish climate, playing outdoors all year round. Air usually damp and cool outside summer months, balls frequently damp or wet.
i never noticed how much he chokes up on his backhand grip. is that a good thing or is it one of those things that just happens to work for one player.
the falt delpo and in comparison more "spinny" fed FH. I have seeked insp. in their shots because I was sick of my "no pace extreme western FH" which didnt give me a lot of power and demanded a big and tiring swing. I know their playing with wilson rackets and I wondered what u think of them? which do u like the best? is it true that their is not a big difference between the Kfactors and the BLXs? what about Ncode and prostaff? whats the difference, what do u like? and what suits a flat game?

I have a Wilson racket with a that technology and it feels weirder then most rackets but I love it alot, its so nice and easy to swing through with

i have had a kblade for about 7 months, and it is ok. need to put lead tape, though, because i am used to the racquet now
i have the racket i like the racket more than my head microgel extreme pro and it provides control, also it has power added when i hit

I own one, 304 gram, it's a little bit heavy but a reliable racquet.
i have this racket and i was wondering what i should string it with to get more spin on my serve

Of the current frames produced, which is most similar to the NBlade? KBlade is much stiffer.
u should demo the blx blade
yes it does, its more of a pros set up
wilson sensation 17 gauge works great!
does it have a large sweet spot?
Very, very good racket
@easyguitar1000 how pro was that girl thats a pro?
