My skill level: NTRP 4.5 (at least it used to be)

Raquets I have owned: Dunlop Max 200G mid, Prince TriComp mid plus, Head Radical 260 OS, Rossignol F200, Puma Becker Super, Head Tournament Director 95, etc

Very rewarding racquet as long as hit the sweet spot. Great for fast swing speeds. Awesome control. Basically looks like an original Pro Staff with a new paint job. Heavier than most of the racquets out today. Graphite/Kevlar composite, just like the original. I learned how to play with a wooden, standard head size (65 sq inches), so I acutally prefer the smaller head size. Hard to find a raquent nowdays 85 sq inches or smaller. The 90 sq inch is a good compromise between control and power - although this raquet demands that you produce a lot of the power. Hit the sweet spot however, and watch out! I would not recommend this for a beginner.

The Wilson [K] Six.One Tour is damn good! If you ever heard that the racquet is only for advance player (NTRP 5+), that's not exactly true. Intermediate players can bring very good performance out of it as well if it suits their style of playing and they have enough strength. The racquet is ideal for a long fast swing style. It offers excellent maneuverable, stability, comfort and impressive feel.

Beware! Using this racquet you must be physically ready since it's quite heavy. If you aren't strong enough, you might end up damage your arm.

The new Wilson Tour 90 is one of the finest rackets made today, best control and precision on the market. You need to manufacture your own power and the sweet spot is small. However, the ball absolutely goes where it is aimed. I have used the Kevlar 85 for 15 years because there was no better racket on the market, until now.

This racket is very similar to the old Wilson Kevlar 85 that Pete Sampras used to win 14 Grand Slams. Federer has used the Tour 90 racket to win 12 Slams.

Be aware this racket is probably the heaviest on the market today by a wide margin. Not a bad thing as when it is swung well it generates excellent power beacuse of the high swingweight. However, you must have a strong wrist and forearm as this racket will lead to arm fatigue if you are not in shape.

All in all I believe this is the best racket in the world today for players who desire precision and touch and can generate their own power.

If there's such as a thing as magic on the tennis courts - then the KSix-One surely produces it.

Although players should be somewhat stronger to wield this weapon - anyone can use this racket if used with proper form for generating power and speed. In short - this racket cannot be muscled, it's too heavy. Shoot from the hips, and rotate your entire body - using your largest muscles, and this racket will become extremely rewarding.

By emulating Federer's impeccable swinging style, brings great results with this stick. It's very precise, and very powerful.

I recently bought this K factor and am so impressed. It has an unbelievable amount of control and spin. It's heavy, so able to generate a lot of raquet head speed. It has a 90 sq.in head, so not for beginners. Overall an excellent raquet.

This is the racquet of choice for the world's number 1, Roger Federer. In his hands this is considered a weapon. If your not an advanced player beware, the head size is very small and the racquet is not very powerful.

I ordered this product using my iPhone, where it indicated the racquet would be strung. It arrived with out stringing, but the vendor immediately issued a partial refund when I brought it to their attention, which was a great solution for me as I am very happy with the racquet.
