Product Description
The Wilson K Blade 98 features traditional feel in the same vein as the KSixOne 95, but in a lighter package. The added strength and stability of Wilson's K Factor technology continues in the K Blade. A 21mm flat beam and 98 square inch headsize provide solid feel and control for intermediate to advanced players with a faster swing. Dense 18x20 string pattern further enhances control.

  • [K]onnector-2 external wings molded into each side of the hoop to increase dwell time of the ball upon impact, providing greater control and comfort.

    Amazon.com Product Description
    What's the difference between winning and losing? Wilson boils it down to one word: [k]ontrol.

As a result, it's easier than ever for players to shape their shots and hit the corners with accuracy. And control is a crucial tool, as players who had the fewest unforced errors have won a combined 74 percent of the most recent Grand Slam tournaments. On the whole, the [K] Blade 98 lets you hit accurate, dependable shots from anywhere on the court, making it among the most versatile all-around racquets on the market.

    The [K] Blade 98 also boasts Wilson's [K] Zone technology, a combination of power holes and power grooves that generate plenty of controlled power. And thanks to the [K]onnector-2 external wings--which are molded into each side of the hoop to increase the dwell time of the ball upon impact--the Blade 98 sports even more control.

    Received the raquet without the strings: completely usless to me; working onboard a cruise ship, with no possibility of getting strings attached for another two months; no mention in the description that the raquet would come without strings.

    I purchased this racquet for my daughter after she tried a friend's. She loves everything about this racquet, especially the exceptional manueuverability and comfort and its ability to provide topspin and grab groundstroke shots.

    My main peeve was that it did NOT come strung, which was not noted anywhere on the product description. And, as another reviewer mentioned, a cover sure would have been nice!

    Was very impressed with the racquet, bit dissappointed that a racquet of this quality didn't come with a bag or cover!
