  1. There is no "better racquet" here are some descriptions from tennis warehouse:

    Wilson [K] Blade:

    Wilson has added a 93 square inch head racquet to its Blade lineup with the KBlade Tour. The Midsize frame, leather grip and 20mm straight beam design all hint towards a serious player's racquet. Our on court testing confirmed the KBlade Tour offers the high level of control advanced players seek. We were also pleasantly surprised to discover a maneuverable response from all areas of the court - much more so than typical with midsized player's racquets. The light and mobile weight also makes the KBlade Tour a great platform racquet for weight and balance customization. We found this one to be quite forgiving given its headsize, offering a nice blend of control and some solid access to spin. The 18/20 string pattern keeps the stringbed taut adding precision to shots from all areas of the court. The combination of maneuverability and control is also evident at net where we found a great response when looking to carve angles or put away volleys. On serve this one is all about consistency and control - thanks to a solid response and good access to spin. As with most player's racquets, pace and power is generated by the player and the KBlade Tour offers a consistent response that allows a player to swing aggressively with confidence. A solid performer from all areas of the court, this one is a good choice for the 4.5+ level player.

    The evolution of the Prestige continues with HEAD's latest MicroGEL technology. At the point of contact, MicroGEL reacts with the racquet's composite fibers to uniformly distribute the impact load around the racquet frame for a comfortable and solid hit.

    From the first hit it is evident this Midplus version of the MicroGEL Prestige is more forgiving than its Midsized brother. More comparable to the MicroGEL Prestige Pro in feel and response, this one is loaded with control, but also offers some useful pop. The 18/20 stringbed offers a consistent feel, inspiring confident hitting on aggressive swings. Our TW playtesters found plenty of bite from the stringbed, with easy access to topspin and slice. At net, advanced players will find a pleasing combination of mobility and stability - a Prestige Midplus trademark. Compared to previous versions of the Prestige Midplus, this one offers improved comfort and a pleasingly solid feel at impact. By varying string type and tension, players can really customize this one to taste. Big hitters will love the combination of HEAD's Sonic Pro co-polyester string in this racquet, while players looking for more power and a buttery feel should try a multifilament like HEAD's FXP Power 17. All in all a versatile racquet suitable for all playing styles at the 4.0+ level.

    Hope It helps.


  2. Personally, I'd go with the prestige over the kBlades any day.  Just because it's heavier.  Heavier racquets give more control.  And I also tested an nBlade once and hated it.  Not sure if it was the lighter weight (I'm used to pretty heavy stuff), or the balance being closer to even, or maybe even that it was strung looser than I prefer.  Whatever.

    I mean, they're both good racquets, but at the end of the day, I prefer to get as much control as possible, and that would come from the prestige.
