Wilson [K] Factor [K] Pro Staff 88
$199.00
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Endorsed by world champion Pete Sampras - used to win 14 Grand Slam titles. Stiff, heavy frame provides powerful shots - must be strung tightly for optimal performance. Racket stability provides increase in forehand/backhand consistency and precision.
The Cons:Serving-optimized design may over-influence volleying - adjustment period required. Heavy-weighted nature may tire players throughout the course of a match. Smalled headsize reduces shot accuracy - not recommended for amateur players.
Wilson's [K] Factor [K] Pro Staff 88 is a mid-range racquet that is a redesigned version of a classic racquet once designed for Pete Sampras. By modern standards, the headsize is small, at 88", and its strung balance is 6 points head-light.
