The Wilson K Six Two 100 is the next generation of the nCode n6 and nSix
Two and remains one of the most versatile choices in the K Factor line.
With the KSix Two, Wilson has combined the power, stability, and
crispness of K Factor technology with a slightly more versatile, and a
surprisingly controlled 25mm beam. No longer head heavy (as with
previous generation n6 and Hammer 6.2), the KSix Two is more
maneuverable and feels slightly lighter than its 10.5 oz. strung weight
suggests. The KSix Two suits a wide variety of playing styles and
ability levels, as long as the player possesses a moderate to long
swing. All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary
next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds
between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting
in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4
new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations
depending on the [K] Factor model.
Let me begin by saying that I'm an intermediate/advanced player who
bought this racquet for all-court play. I'm am offensive/defensive
baseliner. Though I make the trip to the net when play dictates.
Basics:
The K Six-Two is very good for those who have medium to long strokes
and are looking for something that offers a good compromise between
oversized racquets (110+ sq. in.) and compact racquets (~90 sq. in.). It
delivers a very good mix of power and control when strung at the
balance of its recommended stringing tension (@ 58 lb.). At 10.6 oz.
it's weighted fairly closely to the racquets of the pros, so those just
starting out might find it a tad on the heavy side.
Advanced: I
recommend hitting flatter shots with this racquet since its string bed
is 16 X 19. The denser pattern designates a slight preference for
flatter shots as opposed to shots with spin. This is because there are
more strings touching the ball at the contact point. More strings in
contact indicates a preference for power. Less strings in contact would
indicate that a racquet was designed for more spin, since there is more
"bite" on the ball at contact. On a side note, I use the backhand slice
and forehand topspin in my games and the Six-Two actually did well for
both shots.
To sum things up: the K Six-Two is a great value
racquet that is good for intermediate to advanced players. Those who are
looking to find a good all-around racquet won't be disappointed. The
Six-Two's weight and string pattern are slightly more partial to flat
shots, but implementing spin-oriented shots is also quite possibleI bought the Wilson K Six.Two tennis racquet for my daughter who has
decided to play on her high school tennis team. Her coach and another
high school tennis coach I know recommended the Wilson N Sixt Two,but
Wilson no longer makes that racquet. They've replaced it with the K
Six.Two, which delivers both power and a great sense of touch, making it
extremely effective at both the net and the baseline. My daughter
reported an improvement in her game from the first time she used the
racquet.
I had looked all over the Internet hoping to avoid the
$180 price tag. Late, late one evening I decided to check Amazon. They
were offering the Wilson K Six.Two in a price range of $44 (price
mistake?)to $159. At $159, it was a good buy, but at $44 with free
shipping it was the deal of a lifetime. I paid $44 for a brand new
Wilson K Six.Two racquet. My daughter loves her new racquet and her
daddy loves the great deal! Thank you, Amazon!!
I've had my Wilson [K] Six.Two for around a year now, and I absolutely
love it. I play tennis for fun, but with other guys who play very well
(not just messing around on the court). I was in the hunt for a nice
racket that would give me better speed, yet good control, and I must
say, this racket gives me both! I get a lot of pop off serves and get
really good power off shots, yet I still feel I am able to control the
shots too. The racket is just the right weight, actually a bit lighter
than my old Head racket, which I like a lot. And the 100-inch head gives
you a little grace with not hitting the ball in the sweet spot every
time. Overall, I am highly pleased with this Wilson product. Highly
recommended.I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years
old and hasn't been restrung since 1999. So I decided technology would
have advanced so far that it wasn't worth getting it restrung, so bought
the Wilson. It is a bit lighter and tighter so helps with my backhand
(which is not a consistent shot), but I kept thinking I was (especially)
mishitting my forehand - figured I was rusty. However I just tried my
brother's Prince O3 (which is strung a bit tighter) and could return
everything and it felt amazing. There is something wrong with the Wilson
- it feels hard with a tiny sweetspot.it might be improved with a
restring, but I don't want to invest another $25 in a losing
proposition. I even tried my older racquet and could even hit better
with that. Avoid.
This tennis racquet is stylish, light weight, and very comfort to hold
in hand. It comes with a Wilson bag for carrying. It is really light,
even a woman can swing it easily. Awesome!
