The Wilson BLX Series

I have playtested a couple of rackets from the Wilson BLX line lately and here is a brief description and review of the Wilson Six.One Tour BLX, Wilson

Six.One 95 BLX, Wilson Pro Tour BLX, and Wilson K-Blade Tour BLX . BLX is the update from the K-factor series and essentially means they have included Basalt in the composition to enhance feel.

If you want to check them out you can buy them at Tennis Express  for example.

Wilson Six.One. Tour BLX

The head size is only 90 sq. inch which is one of the smallest headsizes on the market. This obviously shrinks the sweetspot and requires you to hit the ball in

the middle of the racket for the desired result.The first one I got my hands on was the Wilson Six.One Tour BLX , Roger Federer ‘s racket of choice. The racket is heavy and has a pretty hefty swingweight too which gives you a great feel and control but and massive plowthrough.

The Wilson Six.One Tour BLX is obviously a great racket otherwise it wouldn’t be used by Roger Federer, but you need to be a pretty advanced player with really good technique and strong arms to benefit from it. When I was on my game and moving well I played fantastic with this racket, but when my legs got a bit tired and I was a bit off on my timing it didn’t do me any favors.

The difference between the previous K-factor model is not huge. I think I felt the ball a bit better in the K-factor, but that the BLX was slightly better on the arm due to less vibrations and more stability.

Wilson Six.One. 95 BLX 18×20

The Six.One 95 BLX is one of the most popular rackets on tour and for a good reason. It’s a bit lighter than the tour version and has a thicker beam. There are two models, one more with more control-oriented string pattern (18×20) and one more spin-friendly (16×19). The one I playtested is the 18×20.

This racket is lighter and a bit easier to maneuver than the Tour model. The bigger head size also helps to create a bigger sweetspot. It’s still a players frame and a quite heavy racket though and it can be difficult to generate a lot of racket head speed. The feel and control is excellent on this on as well and if you really get your body into your shot it can be a really deadly baseline weapon. It’s one of the most popular rackets on tour, Mardy Fish being the highest rated player to swing it.

I felt a bigger difference in the Six.One 95 than the tour when it comes to comparing K-factor and BLX. In the BLX I felt the ball better and if they say that “feel is elemental” they are absolutely right. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this racket to anyone who can deal with the weight. This is easier to play with than the tour.

Wilson Blade Tour BLX

The Blade Tour BLX has quite similar specs to my own beloved Dunlop 4D 300 Tour and it did feel comfortable at first hit. You get a nice plow-through effect when you hit the sweetspot and prepare your swings correctly. But I have a few concerns with this racket. It is quite heavy and has a small head like the BLX Tour, but it doesn’t give the same feel and it doesn’t improve much on the sweetspot side of thing either. The feel was quite “dead” which I usually like, but I felt I couldn’t swing away with this racket as much as I can with my Dunlop which is lighter and has a bigger head. It was less maneuverable and definitely less forgiving. It’s in between the Tour and 95 versions and so maybe worth a test for you if you couldn’t decide.

I think this racket has the smallest niche of the ones I played with.

Wilson Pro Tour BLX

The specs on this one is quite interesting. 96 sq inches head size is very rare and the weight is somewhere in the middle of player’s racket and the semi-advanced amateur. The string pattern is control-oriented but I still felt I got a lot of power in this one. The one-handed backhand especially was a beauty to hit. The frame was quite thick and it almost felt like a Babolat compared to the Blade tour models, but this helped for spin production.

I really enjoyed hitting with the P ro Tour BLX although it could be a bit more stable. That could probably be fixed with some lead tape. Of all the rackets this was the most arm-friendly by far which meant you could really take big cuts on the ball and generate a lot of spin. I got a lot of power though so would probably string it something like 62 lb to get more control.

If you have played with lighter rackets around 300g I think this could be a nice step out into the player’s racket category.

Conclusion:

The BLX technology really seems to give more feel for some models, but it’s not all roses as the Kblade Tour and the Tour model might tell you. If you are happy with your K-factor I don’t see a big reason to try the BLX as the difference isn’t that big. But if you are playing with another racket a Wilson BLX is definitely worth a test. All in all they’re excellent rackets.

Wilson Pro Tour BLX

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

I got this racquet as a demo from Wilson, strung with Wilson Hollow Core 16g at 55lbs. I found the cosmetics of the racquet to be appealing. I love how the bright yellow jumps out with the rest of the racquet being black. When I picked up the racquet the first thing I noticed was the grip. Wilson has introduced new grips on their player sticks with the BLX line. The grip is called a pro hybrid grip and it is a polyurethane grip combined with a leather base. I personally am a fan of the distinct feel of the bevels with a leather grip. I found this new grip to be very comfortable in the hand and offer a firmer feel with the comfort of a cushion/synthetic grip. I found the racquet well weighted as it comes in at around 11.6oz, with a 7pts or (7/8″) headlight balance. The racquet has a nice head shape and size at 96sq in. The swing weight was appealing to me at 332, along with the stiffness of 62. The Pro Tour comes with an 18×20 string pattern. I am a fan of player’s racquets and this new offering from Wilson had me really excited to hit the court.

First of all, I found the Pro Tour easy to maneuver around all areas of the court. The racquet swung easily from the baseline. I never felt like I was muscling the racquet around. It came through the strike zone fast and smooth both on serve and on groundstrokes. At net I found the same maneuverability as I did at the baseline. The racquet moved quick through the air and I found reaction volleys easy to handle. As I stated the racquet is supposed to be quite flexible. I found that the racquet played a bit stiffer than listed. I was finding easy pop from all areas of the court with this stick.

I found this stick to suit my game well at net. Like I said earlier I found the racquet really maneuverable, while also offering good pop. It was easy to punch the ball deep in the court with little effort. The dense string pattern offered delicate touch on drop shots and volleys. I felt like I could easily control my volleys with this racquet and place them wherever I pleased.

GROUNDSTROKES

At the baseline the Pro Tour continued to impress. I found I was able to really hit through the ball with good depth and pace. When I hit the ball off center or found myself hitting on the run or from a defensive position, the racquet offered more forgiveness then I usually get with a player’s stick. Probably my favorite shot with this stick was my two handed backhand. I was really able to hit the ball aggressively and go for my shots without worrying about hitting long. I don’t hit my backhand with as much spin as my forehand and I found it easy to rip the ball crosscourt and down the line. I attribute this to the maneuverability of the racquet. The stick gave me just enough mass to hit a big ball while still allowing me to take a quick fast swing, when my preparation was a little subpar. On the forehand wing I was not as impressed. I found access to spin with the racquet but I didn’t feel as though my ball was jumping off the court as it does with my normal racquet. I think the Wilson Pro Tour BLX is more suited to a flatter hitter than someone who prefers to hit a spinier ball. The racquet offered good stability against big hitters. If I were to play with the racquet I would add some weight to give it a more stability and a little more weight to my topspin forehand. The racquet was not quite as whippy as I normally prefer, and I feel a little added weight may help me achieve the weight/balance combination I am looking for. The dense string pattern gave me good bite on slices when I really drove through the ball. If I didn’t have time to really set up for the shot they did float a little more than I would have preferred. I think this is also something a little lead tape could fix.

I found the racquet to offer good access to spin and pace on serve. I was getting great slice when hitting the ball out wide on the deuce side and good topspin when hitting from the ad side. The racquet really came through the air quick and I found the stick to offer some easy pop. I wasn’t hitting the biggest serves of my life but serving was definitely enjoyable. Finding my target was a joy with this stick. I found I could easily place the ball where I wanted. Flat serves were enjoyable with the extra pace the racquet had to offer. I think adding a little more weight to the stick could give me the extra MPH I was looking for.

OVERALL CONCLUSION

Overall, I really enjoyed play testing the Wilson Pro Tour BLX. The racquet was maneuverable and offered good pace for a player’s stick. It was a pleasure to hit volleys, serves, and groundstrokes with this stick. I think a baseline or all court player who doesn’t quite want the heft of a 12oz stick will really enjoy this racquet. As for those people who like a little more heft in their stick, this racquet is definitely worth a look, as I feel with some weight this could be a really impressive offering from Wilson. If you are in the market for a new player’s racquet I would suggest giving the Wilson Pro Tour BLX a try. Who knows maybe soon you’ll be hitting forehands like Juan Martin del Potro.

Wilson BLX Blade Tour 93

Precision and control shine through in this midsized player's racquet from Wilson. Providing a slightly more dampened and solid feel compared to the previous Blade Tour, this BLX version continues the Blade legacy in fine form. Players who supply their own power will find the most from this one. A long, fast swing results in lots of controllable power and pinpoint accuracy. There is a surprisingly large feeling sweetspot considering the 93 square inch headsize. Spin is easy to generate and players will find ample plow through for hitting groundstrokes with heavy, penetrating spin. At net the racquet offers supreme control and a solid response. Accomplished net players will find dialing in their volleys takes no time with the BLX Blade Tour. There's ample feel for touch shots and enough stability and pop to punch volleys away with pace. On serve the racquet comes through the hitting zone with ease, allowing the player to find the racquet head speed required for both pace and spin.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
