Wilson [K] Tour Tennis Racquet Overview

The Wilson K Tour is the latest update to the n Tour and nTour Two used by Justine Henin and Lindsey Davenport. The K Tour carries on the tradition of the previous-generation Wilson nTours, providing traditional feel with a slightly head-heavy "Hammer" balance.

Wilson has kept most specifications consistent with past nTour models: 27.25 inch length, 10.8 ounce strung weight, slight head heavy balance, 16x20 string pattern, 22mm straight beam, and 95 square inch headsize.

Wilson [K] Tour Tennis Racquet Specifications

What's the difference between winning and losing? Wilson boils it down to one word: [k]ontrol. The Wilson [K] Factor Tour racquet is made using [k]arophite black nanotechnology, a proprietary next-generation structure that results in better feel and a stronger, more stable performance. As a result, it's easier than ever for players to shape their shots and hit the corners with accuracy. And control is a crucial tool, as players who had the fewest unforced errors have won a combined 74 percent of the most recent Grand Slam tournaments. Recommendations don't come any better than that.

The [K] Factor Tour also boasts Wilson's Double Hole technology, with an increased diameter for the grommet holes. This allows the stringbed to flex more when impacted by the ball, resulting in a smoother feel and added power.
