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 love this racquet! My game has gotten so much better with my new
kfactor 6.2 by Wilson. Head size is great and comes strung with decent
Wilson tournament strings. Good control and speed make this racquet a
great upgrade from whatever you are playing with
This racket description and reviews made me to but this racket and unfortunately ended as a disappointing experience.
The first problem is
Racket makes lot of irritating sound and does not provide control/power
Racket does vibrate while return and not smooth
I do not recommend this product neither for upgrade nor for someone to start with
beginners
can always buy 20 USD walmart racket and intermediate/advanced players
can look for some proven rackets such as head microgel, prince 03 etc
around 100 USD instead of wasting 65 USD on this one
I bough this racket from paddlepro seller
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 is my fisrt time practicing with a racquet so I searched the best
option according my conditions and amateur skills. Now I know, playing
tennis, the k six two was my best choice

best buy Head Liquidmetal reviews
Head's® Liquidmetal® Radical tennis racquet is Andre Agassi's
Liquidmetal® weapon of choice. Liquidmetal® technology provides pure
energy and perfect power. The Total Sweetspot Construction and oversized
head combined to deliver increased stability and a total sweetspot.
Liquidmetal® material is applied to 4 strategic areas of the racquet's
head and is the only material that utilizes all the energy your swing
generates.
I bought 2 of these a month ago looking to explore the direction a
different racquet might take my game. currently I hit with the dunlop
2oog XL and love it, but have had some success with head racquets.
anyway, the radical mid+ is very light and feels brittle w/out actually
being too stiff. it is definitely designed for the modern game's
emphasis on racquet head speed, with a light head balance meant for some
serious acceleration. off the ground the racquet felt pretty good after
I applied some lead tape, and definitely benefits from stringing on the
low side of the tension range. higher tensions gave the physical
impression of the ball falling off the strings with little penetration.
on slices, the radical produced lovely vector-like trajectories that
were very satisfying to hit indeed. on serve, the radical provided for
much pop, easily rivaling anything I can hit w/the dunlop. the tight
string pattern requires more effort to impart serious spin, but serves
could be placed accurately. the radical shines in the service dept.
but... the real treat was volleying. ye gods this racquet volleys well.
crisp, controlled shots I could put anywhere, from the service line up
to net, half-volleys, low below-net scoopers, against pace or soft
shots. very solid and very maneuverable. the highlight of my month long
adventure.
so having said all these nice things about the radical, why did I go back to the 2ooXL? well, as I said before, the radical is about the emphasis on racquet head speed. this concept dominates the game now, as every one tries to emulate roger and rafa et al. which is fine, but that game requires so much effort and a racquet like this requires that game like a german sports sedan requires high test fuel. it's too much, and although I can operate in that arena, my game is much more about dynamic control and variation. I take the ball early and redirect alot, think vintage mecir, and I need a racquet that's soft and provides more feel than the radical, which felt brittle. the dunlops are also considerably heavier and feel much more stable, especially w/lead tape
on the throat. going back to the dunlop after a genuine and concerted effort to tailor the radical mid+ to my game made me realize how I was actually tailoring my game to the mid+.
still, a great frame for the right game. recommended, if not for me Having played for over twenty years I never considered purchasing an advanced racket like the Liquidmetal Radical simply because I don't play very often. However, when I saw the pricedrop on it I just couldn't resist and you shouldn't either. For the first time ever I feel in control on the court. I had a Head racket before (Ti Fire), but I am giving it away because there is just no comparison. Virtually no vibration (when I hit the ball right of course), the shot goes in exactly the direction I want it to go, brilliant. I am very happy with this purchase. Midwest Sports came though very nicely, delivering in no time. An assistant at a local sport store told me this racket is being discontinued, so I bought another one just in case.
I had wanted this 'antique' racquet for a long time and finally decided
to purchase through Amazon before its "extinction". All the stores in
HKG no longer carry this item since long long ago. I ordered two pieces
in order to justify for the not-cheap international shipping charges.
Each racquet comes with a Head bag and dampener. The delivery was
earlier than promised and I am satisfied with the packing. This racquet
is worth buying as it is not too expensive unlike those newly launched
in the market. It's for those who find other models either too light or
too heavy. This one is just right.
my son recently began playing tennis this last summer and has upgraded
to this new racquet ! my son has more confidence with this new racquet ,
he has moved up to number 3 position on team up from number 7. highly
recommend new head liquid metal racquet!
I have been playing tennis for 24 years (I'm 38), I play twice a week
and I must say this stick isn't for me, you need to create your own
power (a lot of it) to use it, it feels stiff, I'm sure it is a great
players racquet but it is not for the club player.
I bought the new Head Microgel Extreme 09, this stick is consider a players racquet by Head but it feels much more powerful and soft, of course you don't feel the same control that has the Radical but it is much better for my game.
Conclusion: If you are 21 and you are a serious tennis player (4,5 level or more) go for it, if not try another stick. I don't usually belive in items that are on sale, mostly because I've been scam a couple of times.
This time I was broke and needed a good racket for de cash that i had....it's a offer that has satisfied me.

This line, next to Babolat Pure Drive Team (Mainly the Plus) and HEAD
Prestige (Liquidmetal and Intelligence), is an elite line. Radical has
been the most used racquet around here since we've come together as
13-14 year olds. Radical Liquidmetal is an applauded product from Head
and we recommend it with great enthousiasm as a racquet for all club
(U12/14+ categories) and above players. It works well with all ages.

best buy Head TiS6 reviews
I've used this racquet for the last 10 years. It is evenly weighted,
meant for tennis players with a slower swing (most beginner-intermediate
players), had a big sweet spot, and has excellent flexibility and
vibration control. This was the top selling racquet in the world at one
point, for good reason. The price is excellent for what you get,
especially with the astronomical prices of many of today's racquets.
I have had this for more than 2 years now. Its a great racquet to learn
because of it's light weight. Its easy on your wrist and elbow. If you
are hitting balls hard, or returning fast balls, this racquet loses its
touch. It actually becomes hard on your wrist and arm.
didn't like this racquet at all. Too much power. Any small amount of
force you use, goes out of bounds. I was trying to modify my swing style
and holding the racket not to the edge, but somewhere in the middle to
hit with less force, but still couldn't get it to work for me.
I purchased this racquet over 10 years ago around when it first came out
on the market, and with a price tag over $150. At the time, it was one
of the first titanium racquets, making lighter than any of its
competitors. I'm glad to see it has gone down in price over time.
I first started with this racquet in high school, and have owned the same racquet ever since--a testament to its durability. It's extremely strong and lightweight, making it great for beginner-to-intermediate players. More skilled players will want a heavier, more responsive racquet.
I also tend to play with a lower string tension than many players, and paired with a strong swing, I can really crush the ball with good accuracy--not great accuracy, but good! Some have complained about excessive vibration when hitting, due to the light weight of the racquet, but I have not had any issues with this. Overall I would recommend it. I really like this racquet. Had demoed several others without success before an expert recommended this one to me. He was right. I have no complaints! Its light, it's powerful. It holds well. NO vibrations. The price was right. Now, I just have to work on my strokes... Bought this racket from sports authority and the frame cracked on the second time I played with it. I didn't even do anything that would strain it. For the time I was able to use it...it generates a lot of power on its own. I had to adjust my gripping to accommodate for the natural power of the racket. Once I figured it out I began to like the racket. I would recommend insurance if the seller offers it. I bought this for my early 50's petite mom. She is learning to play, and this racquet fit her profile and budget. At 9 ounces and 8 points head heavy, the frame is very light and generates a ton of power. Full shots are not required to get the ball over the net. A short stroke will suffice. Provides a lively feel at impact. The head is large and forgiving, and the longer length helps cover the court. I recommend the Ti S6 to older players or those seeking more power. Excellent performance and a good value. seller promised restrung racquet. However, it came with the original string. Went to Dick's sport and compared with the orignal string. There is no difference. The string snapped after 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it is high school tennis season so cannot return it. Have it restrung at a local store. Kept the original string and planning to go through Amazon to issue a complaint. I hope none of my friends learn about it so I can beat them... Seriously, this racquet is amazing! It is very light (I bought it for my 8 year old son and he manages it quite well despite the racquet's size) and still very powerful. I ended-up buying a second one for me (4.5 size) and it has improved my level of play tremendously. Thanks Head! i had a head racket before this and it was ok, but the frame broke and the strings came unloose. the frame was my fault, but regardless i needed a new one. the first hit i hit with this, the ball went flying. it has A TON of power, and i can't stress that enough. it is also designed to have a larger sweet spot, and it does. the frame is very strong (titanium with graphite coating) and is very lightweight if you like that style. so when i got it, my friends kept begging to use it. so overall, i would highly recommend this racket if you like lightweight, very powerful rackets.
I have hit with this racket for 5+ years and it is very light weight,
strong and delivers a high quality return on strokes, serves and
overheads. The sweet spot is a fraction outside the middle towards the
end-of-the-head and is large enough to allow forgivable volleys and
return of serve strokes. I have purchased additional rackets (babolet,
wilson) that cost much more, but that simply can't fit my game. This is a
great racket for kids, high schoolers or those over 50.

Head Ti S6 tennis racquet is good for beginners. It is comparatively
lighter than other racquets and has a slightly bigger sweet spot area
(due to its shape and string arrangement). Hence, it generates more
power and is easy to handle.
You can select your grip size while ordering and it comes with the cover and the shock absorber. Also, I checked this racquet at other sport shops but the price at amazon is cheaper by at least by $20. This product is worth the money spent. The Head TI S6 tennis racket is a racket of superb overall performance and ability thanks to titanium design.
Specially after Rotator Cuff Repair.
Rotator cuff is a set of four different muscles located in the shoulder joint. These muscles form tendons and insert onto the shoulder bone.
It affords the racket a level of maneuverability and control that is rarely seen with such a powerful piece of equipment. The Ti S6 gives you the power of a long racket without sacrificing agility and control. I am a moderate player and was looking for the best match in the racket, and when I got this one, I can see the big difference! My game improved a lot and its not me telling, it's my friends with whom I play tennis regularly... I'm extremely happy with this racket!!
One thing I noticed which is the string, I don't know how they strung this, but it feels loose, Im sure I will need to restrung pretty soon.. This is my 3rd Head TiS6 Racket, and they are fabulous. I have given one to my Grandaughter Holly who is 6. She loves it too and wanted a Racket the same as Poppas.I am coaching her and am very hopeful that one day she will be a very good Tennis player.

It is very light (I bought it for my 8 year old son and he manages it quite well despite the racquet's size) and still very powerful. I ended-up buying a second one for me (4.5 size) and it has improved my level of play tremendously. Thanks Head!
I first started with this racquet in high school, and have owned the same racquet ever since--a testament to its durability. It's extremely strong and lightweight, making it great for beginner-to-intermediate players. More skilled players will want a heavier, more responsive racquet.
I also tend to play with a lower string tension than many players, and paired with a strong swing, I can really crush the ball with good accuracy--not great accuracy, but good! Some have complained about excessive vibration when hitting, due to the light weight of the racquet, but I have not had any issues with this. Overall I would recommend it. I really like this racquet. Had demoed several others without success before an expert recommended this one to me. He was right. I have no complaints! Its light, it's powerful. It holds well. NO vibrations. The price was right. Now, I just have to work on my strokes... Bought this racket from sports authority and the frame cracked on the second time I played with it. I didn't even do anything that would strain it. For the time I was able to use it...it generates a lot of power on its own. I had to adjust my gripping to accommodate for the natural power of the racket. Once I figured it out I began to like the racket. I would recommend insurance if the seller offers it. I bought this for my early 50's petite mom. She is learning to play, and this racquet fit her profile and budget. At 9 ounces and 8 points head heavy, the frame is very light and generates a ton of power. Full shots are not required to get the ball over the net. A short stroke will suffice. Provides a lively feel at impact. The head is large and forgiving, and the longer length helps cover the court. I recommend the Ti S6 to older players or those seeking more power. Excellent performance and a good value. seller promised restrung racquet. However, it came with the original string. Went to Dick's sport and compared with the orignal string. There is no difference. The string snapped after 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it is high school tennis season so cannot return it. Have it restrung at a local store.

best buy Head Liquid Metal reviews
This is my second Tennis racket, i have the Wilson US Open as a beginner
and played with it for a year. I have been playing with the Head
LiquidMetal 8 for a week now and i have to say it is amazing. Extremely
light(on the UPS scale stringed it weighed .60 lbs) and packed with a
punch this racket has increased my confidence level tremendously, i
can't blame anything on the racket anymore so i try extra hard and have
definitely improved a lot in just a week. Look and feel of the racket is
definitely a plus, it has the integrated vibration dampers so you can't
lose it while playing. Comes with a full cover in Black and Silver/Gray
to match the racket. I got this with Free Shipping through Amazon -
MidWest Sports - with no tax, even the stores can't beat that. Got the
Racket and 2 cans of Balls delivered at my door for what other stores
are selling only the racket for.Very good racquet with a perfect blend of power and control. It is best
suited for intermediate players, but improving beginners as well as
advanced players will find it is a nice racquet to play with. The only
time I found it a bit difficult to control was when I was trying to hit
the ball really hard and heavy or at the net when given very little time
for volley. Otherwise it performs really well at the net, as well as in
other parts of the court. It is light and feels right in the hand. Very
good deal for this price.
Just getting back to tennis after many years following shoulder injury.
Previous A Grade Comp player - now just social tennis. Bought Head
Liquidmetal 8 racquet online through Amazon and it was delivered to my
address in Sydney Australia in about one week. Excellent racquet to
play with, huge sweet spot, feels light and well balanced with minimal
vibration transmitted. A very smooth transaction, excellent racquet and
good experience generally.
I play tennis every week or so with my brother. I had been using a $10
used racket for the past year. There was a noticeable difference in my
game and serve after I got this new one. I'm no professional, but this
is a pretty good upgrade for my novice play.
I was using "Walmart" rackets before (25-40 Dollars range) and one of my
friends had this racket which felt quite lighter and was softer on my
elbows.
I played with it a casual game as well and found it quite good, so I purchased it.
I play both full swings and spins.
I've used it extensively in past 4 weeks and found that it is indeed better for my elbows. However, my swing is gone. It feels heavy when I try to move it around faster, which wasn't the case with early rackets that I had.
So, will I recommend it? Sure, if you are playing long swing games from behind the court lines. But if you are thinking about going back and forth with quick swings on the court and get fast swings on the serves as well... this may not be the best choice. I am a beginner (been taking lessons for about 3 months) and just had a racket I picked up used at a sporting goods store. I felt like I was ready for "the right" racket so after some research I picked up the Liquidmetal 8. What a difference! There is a marked improvement in the shots I'm taking and I miss less because of the large sweet spot. Would definitely recommend this racket! After reading reviews and descriptions for the various tennis rackets offered, I settled on this model and couldn't be more pleased!
