Racquet Review for Wilson K4 |

Wilson K4
The Wilson K 4 has been my favorite racquet for 2009.
Having played with the Wilson K Zen, the heavier version at 10.5 ounces, for 2 years it was time for a change. The 2009 version of the K Zen came only in a lighter version (9.5 ounces) and I was having difficulty making the transition for match play.
I experimented with the K Blade, Open and the Six One but did not find the feel I was looking for when playing. One of my students had purchased a K 4 and when I strung it for her it got me wondering what it played like. I picked up our demo from the club and was impressed with several features.
The K 4 played heavier than it’s weight and provided power and maneuverability as well as delivering a solid hit. It was easy to teach with as well as easy to play with in rallying against my better students.
After having my students try out the K 4 and tracking the responses of players from 3.0 to 4.5 NTRP levels, I have found it fits the needs and likes of most all players. This is the response I look for in selecting my choice of racquet for the year. I like one that suits my teaching needs and my competition feel but also the acceptance of a wide range of my students.
The Wilson K 4, grab a demo and see how it fits your game. My choice of strings for the K 4, the Wilson Hyperlast Spin. This 19 gauge kevelar main string with 16 gauge synthetic gut cross strings offers great power and spin in your new K 4.
