It is sturdy yet light enough for her to use (she is small for her age). This is a great purchase. Needed this for summer tennis camp for our 5-yr old. The only place we could find a 21-inch racket was Dick's sporting goods nearby where this exact same racket was priced at $40. It was half the price here! It is perfect for him, he can comfortable hold and maneuver the the racket. Very happy with this purchase. Fits perfectly in my children's hands, light weight and seems durable. Even my 3 1/2 half year old can hold it comfortably. I definitely plan on buying them again if mine get damaged which I know is bound to happen. For the price it's a great buyI know nothing about tennis. I had no idea rackets came in so many sizes. But, as soon as our 9 year old son started playing with this instead of a leftover 10 year old adult racket, we could immediately see how much more he enjoyed playing. The smaller size and lighter weight really do make a huge difference for younger kids. I highly recommend this for a starter youth racket. The racquet itself is fine, but I got it for my five year old son who is taking tennis lessons. I really think, though, it would be helpful if the information on the product on Amazon showed the recommended ages for these. The racquet itself clearly says on the package for ages 3-5 years old. Since my son is 5, it is usable, but in hindsight I wish I had went with the next size up, since he is at the top end of the range of kids this is designed for. Maybe most people know what size their kids need, but since I do not play tennis or know alot about tennis racquets, something clearly displayed on the racquet would have been nice to be clearly displayed on the information on Amazon ABOUT the product. As it is, it's a hassle to exchange things, so we will make do. Easy for my son to control the racket. Great starter racket and the price could not be beat! he started playing on our Thanksgiving trip and am sure that he will love this for christmas.

Yes, BEGINNER racquet. A very good one, coming from a person who started "playing" tennis recently. Racquet has extremely large surface area, very difficult to miss the ball. Racquet is so large, in fact, I've managed to get the ball stuck several times between the head and hand grip on swings. Extra large size also gives you *much* more power, smaller people are able to play no problem. I have powerful shoulders, so I actually had to scale down my swing to keep it in-bounds. Very very very lightweight, I played with my little sister and she had no problems. I have no familiarity with brands, so this was my dummy-proof purchase based on all the characteristics you should look for in a beginners racquet. Ready to graduate!!! I was just starting to learn how to play tennis when i ordered this racket.
And i just wanted a good racket that is reasonably priced.
I have used it for at least 100 hard-core hours so far and the racket is still good.
I couldn't be more pleased. This is my first racquet and I dont have any complaints. It is easy to handle as it is light weight and since it is X Large it is good to play some tough shots! I bought it for $25 but a friend of mine got it in deal at $10. otherwise racket is good. I am a Tennis beginner by the way.
Also a friend of mine bought a racket for $75 . Initially we thought he wasted money and even he wanted to return the racket. But nowadays he is playing excellent master strokes with his forehand. we both started at the same time and from same coach. :) :) With no intention of taking away his credit for skills and hard work, may be racket also plays a role. My wife wanted to go back to tennis after 7 years, and since she never finished her training the first time, we decided to get a beginners racquet and see how it works for her. A little bit of online search revealed this Wilson model among the top ranked beginners' racquets which was also surprisingly the cheapest on the list! It was a no-brainer, and we ordered it through Amazon.

The racquet is extra large, which is advised for beginners, and it seems to be of good quality. There is no case or cover, and you receive the bare racquet plastic wrapped in a typical Amazon box. My wife is 5' 2", and we were worried if 4 3/4" grip to be too big for her, but interestingly it needs some additional grip tapes to make it a perfect fit. We are happy that we ordered 4 3/4" instead of 4 1/4" version, because you can always increase the grip size with additional tapes.

If you are looking for a cheap beginners' racquet, there are not many options among the top brands. In this price range, we could only find this Wilson and the "HEAD Ti. Instinct Comp Tennis Racquet," but we went with Wilson because of the reviews. However, the Head comes with a racquet cover. Yes, BEGINNER racquet.

ORIGINAL REVIEW - 6/7/2010
It's been 15 years since I played tennis regularly, and I didn't want to shuck out $40+ on a racquet.

This is a decent racquet if you're on a tight budget and want something that plays decent. You can be rough with it since it's metal alloy...throw it on the ground, the net, HECK even your opponent and this thing is tough as nails!

I found the grip to be very flat with little cushion and on the smaller size. I ended up unraveling the stock grip, building it up with masking tape, and re-gripping it using the existing grip with more overlap to provide a "fatter" feel with more cushion. I also added a vibration dampening device which provided a feel closder to a more expensive graphite racquet.

UPDATED 1 Yr Review - 6/5/2011
I've been playing the Tour Slam for about a year since my previous review, and I stand by what I said in my first review. Since then, I bought both my sons (ages 12 & 13) a variety of much more expensive racquets: Prince graphite/titanium, Yonex graphite, and more recently Wilson BLX Pro Open, Wilson K Pro Team FX. I've tried all those racquets, and surprisingly find myself coming back to this $17 Wilson Tour Slam.

WEIGHT. At 11.5 ounces, this is a heavier racquet compared to most of the lighter game improvement and intermediate racquets out there ranging from 9.5 - 10.5 ounces. I love the extra heft as many of the pro-level racquets weigh around 11 - 12 ounces. It feels like a sledgehammer when I connect with the ball in its sweet spot.

COMFORT. I've played with some very light titanium and graphite racquets, and ended up with tennis elbow. The Wilson Tour Slam has NEVER given me any soreness to my elbow. Like I mentioned in my original review, I play with a cheap rubber vibration dampener which adds to the unusually solid feel of this metal alloy racquet. The Stop Shock pads already included on the racquet do their job quite well.

SHAPE/FEEL. The longer mainstrings (Wilson calls them Power Strings) provide some decent power. I believe the combination of the large 110 sq inch head size with these longer mainstrings provides too much power as I sometimes have a tendency to hit long. I wish the head was just a tad bit smaller, perhaps 105 or even 102 sq inches.

NEW STRINGS. So I had a spare set of strings and decided to have the Tour Slam restrung last week. I paid $13 to restring it which is almost the cost of the racquet. Why invest good strings in this cheap racquet? Why not just purchase a new Tour Slam? I felt it was worth restringing because the strings were textured to provide more spin, and I had it strung pretty tight at 62 lbs to tone down the power and provide more control. My forehand has better control, and I can hit decent low shots with good pace and high looping shots that still manage to stay in. I'm still working on controlling my two-handed backhand.

The Tour Slam is great for a beginner or intermediate player who is not embarrassed to play with a cheap racquet. It probably plays as well as many of the $40 - $70 graphite and hybrid racquets out there. Again, this is an extremely durable racquet that can take lots of punishment, and I don't get paranoid if I happen to scrape or tap the ground on shots that I'm stretching for.

The 2011 Tour Slam model is essentially the same design with a white, gray, and black paint scheme. I held the previous blue model (the one I own) against the new model, and I noticed that the Power Strings are slightly longer on the new model.

BEYOND...
So I broke down and purchased a more expensive racquet, a Head Youtek Monster. The Head Monster is a much firmer, solid feeling racquet with more control that allows me to take a full swing. However, when I feel I want to unleash more spin and power, I find myself reaching for the good ol' Wilson Tour Slam. I can hit a wicked two-handed top-spin backhand with the Tour Slam. I need to take more of a half or even quarter forehand swing to keep the ball in the court, but I can get TONS of spin off this thing. I'm going to get it restrung soon at about 68/69 lbs in an attempt to tame this beast! Curious to see what the max string tension this racquet can take. If the dang thing breaks, I'm definitely going to shuck out another $17 at Walmart!

The price was great for a racket of brand name, Wilson. The colors may vary from the picture shown because my racket is black and white. Played a few games with it so far and its worked out fine. Its pretty light compared to my other Wilson racket, but overall great racket for the price! Love it! =) It doesn't come with a case, but I use an average sized nylon sports bag to cover it up and it fits nicely into it.

The Wilson Tour Series are excellent, affordable raquets for the energetic players who need quality in an affordable package. At these prices, you can outfit yourself with 2 or 3 raquets, and feel like a real tennis pro. Their playability is impressive for an economy tennis raquet, and the ever improving technology for lower cost means you will have a better tennis raquet than professional players were using only a few years ago. I haven't played tennis with this racket yet since its still winter, but i just wanted to buy a new cheap racket while still in my prime trial. What i think about the racket is that i love the colors! the pic on the item page is NOT the color you will receive, i'm pretty sure everyone who orders this will get a black and white one. Looks great nonetheless even better than the colors on the item pic. Will update more when i play with this during spring.

EDIT: okay due to a very warm january here in chicago, i found a park to play tennis on. Using this racket at first took time to adjust. It is very powerful and has a big sweet spot. Not very good at net play because its too powerful even with one little touch on the ball. This racket should be priced higher because it plays like one of the pricier rackets. but i did notice they just higher-ed the price after the holiday season. At 30$ i still think its worth buying. It is a very good racket for any intermediate or beginner player. I recommend it very much.

best buy Wilson [K] Six. reviews

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 possible. I 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!
