Anybody out there use the K six one 95? I'll choose a best answer?

Question

If you have the racket, what do like best about it? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Answer 1

I currently use the K Factor six-one tour 90 but I demoed both the 95s before choosing.

You probably know but the 95 comes in two string beds the 16x18 and the 18x20. Generally a more open string bed like the 16x18 gives you more control and comfort (spin/impact intensity). A more dense string pattern is a bit more rigid so it favors a more flat game like serve and volley while the 16x18 is more for baseliners.

Both racquets have great feel. If you can generate the power yourself they're extremely stable through contact and offer a great deal of grip for control.

The weaknesses.. Well realistically they've both very heavy, 12.3 oz to be correct, and also very stiff. If you aren't used to using such a heavy racquet it can be tough to get used to. As such if you are prone to mishits it can transfer a lot of vibration into your joints.

Personally I think the K factors are the best racquets Wilson have ever produced. They have a great old school heft to them. Definitely give them a demo and see what you think.

Answer 2

It's low power so you have to generate your own power.  It's tough to hit the sweet spot but when you do, the ball goes with great accuracy.  Also heavy, head light.  Stable and weight cut down on vibration and possible injury like tennis elbow.

I like best that if your game and timing is on, it's one of the best racquets out there.  It will generate good force with pinpoint accuracy

Answer 3

I upgraded to the K-factor Six-one 95, from the Ncode Nsix-one 95, and have no complaints.  I have the 16X18 string pattern, which I use Wilson Natural Gut in the mains, and Signum Poly Plasma in the crosses.  I play at the NTRP 3.5 level and I have  decent serves.  The racquet is simply solid.  I've tried the Prince O3 Tour, the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, the Nblade 98, and a few others.  Nothing compares even closely in my opinion.  I can handle the hefty weight, which some people complain about.  I think its weight is one of its strengths.  I can block back some heavy serves with it.  I try to play an all-court game (coming to the net whenever I get the chance), I have a one-handed backhand, and a lot of topspin on my forehand.  If you can handle the weight, and the relatively small head size (compared to most racquets nowadays), I think its a great racquet.
