The day we have all waited for has come! Last night I came off the court and saw several boxes for Wilson, which could only mean one thing…. The new sticks are here! I quickly rummaged through looking for the demo of the long awaited

[K] Factor Pro Staff 88!

I’m going to put it through the on court tests over the next couple of days and I’ll report back soon, but until then I thought I’d run the specs and compare them with the only other frame like it, the [K] 6.1 Tour 90… Pete’s racquet vs. Roger’s racquet… What are the differences? What makes 14 Grand Slams rather than (for now at least) 13? Let’s take a closer look!

[K] 6.1 Tour 90

Beam Width: 18 mm

Weight: 359 grams

Swingweight: 331

Frame Stiffness: 68/100

[K] Pro Staff 88

Beam Width: 17 mm

So with these results in mind, choose wisely!
