Great all around,
I’m really glad I bought this racket. It’s a terrific piece of equipment. It’s like a dream racket, so much there is a bit bit of an unreal feel to it. When you hit the ball in the centre it feels like the ball disappeared, it goes flying like effortless. In my case I was looking for a lighter racket than the 335 grams I was using, but didn’t want to compromise a 95″ frame. This was a good answer, in a very short time you gain the feel of the racket and yo can tell it’s many virtues.
I’m an intermediate player, playing 2 or three times a week. I started playing with an N-CODE N TOUR TWO 95, it was a peach. As I progressed in the game y wanted to move on to something bigger and newer (who knows why) and got the K-FACTOR K 6.1 95 16×18. It was heavier, less responsive, had massive inertia (mass) and therefore great power. The average number of hits missing was terribly high. Many would go really well, heavy, powerful and many would miss. I never got to grips with it, so I decided to go down a notch. A couple of rackets were in contention, tested many and the BLX TOUR was it. In the end I went for the Limited version of the Tour because I didn’t want to go down so much weight; had there been a 310 grams version of this racket I would have bought it (Blade wasn’t the answer). It has a couple of differences with the regular model: double hole grommets gives really good speed to the ball, extended length which I never noticed and a thicker beam section for greater rigidity?
From the very first time I hit a ball with it, it was evident that it helped my game. everything you hit goes in, you can put decent spin into the ball, you can have a go to anything at any height or position on the court. It’s a really neat, precise and all around racket. That’s the best way to describe this racket, it’s like ideal everywhere and precise; the precision it gives you is incredible.
You won’t find mass, but even though it’s light it’s incredibly consistent and balanced. You could tell right away that the loss of weight, in my case, had to be compensated with more hitting force, but it felt great anyway. It took me a bit, getting used to arm my backhand, because of it; but wasn’t a problem.
As I said it’s a bit of an unreal feeling it gives you because of the lack of vibration, the incredible sweetspot and precision. Even if you aren’t hitting in the centre the balls feel alright, they go in. Maybe it’s because of all this, that it feels too good, that it might seem unreal. You have to say this about this racket because a couple of friends of mine tested it and they felt this. Maybe with other rackets you might hit something not so well and the ball might come out badly.
But the actual thing to say about this racket is that it’s really well balanced, it has a right weight, frame size, power, speed of movement and maneuverability. If fact, the great thing about this racket is the great combination of things. If you go up in weight you loose maneuverability, as you go down in weight you loose power; there’s always a compromise and it seems to me this is the best possible combination. This is a players frame, though a really friendly one. In a few weeks you start getting to know the racket and you’ll find that it’s a real racket, an exceptional one.
