The Secrets of the Wilson K Factor Racquet

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

The Secrets of the Wilson K Factor Raquet has to do with the design and function of this popular type of tennis raquet.  Back when Wilson started making tennis raquets they were made with oak, ash and maple because of the stiffness that these woods would allow to form a raquet like structure.  In the 1980’s Wilson came out with the Hammer which was designed with graphite to allow the raquet to be lighter and easier to use for any type of player.

Fast forward to today and Wilson has upgraded to whats called the k factor.  These Wilson Tennis Racquets are made with titanium and graphite like materials to replace the hammer models.  The easy handling plus the durability makes this raquet above all the rest.  Since its light weight the ability to move with ease is the secret of why this Wilson racquet is great.  Having a strong structure that is light weight so you can react is what any great tennis player needs.  I am sure past players using the wood tennis racquets would be have loved to have the K factor racquets.

So Wilson went from making tennis racquets with wood to upgrading to graphite and now using new technology are making tennis racquets with titanium and graphite.  Tennis racquets just like everything in life gets better with time as new ways of making stuff comes out.

The Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 Tennis Racket

If you are a beginner player, then picking up a Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 tennis racket might be a good idea. It is not a racket you would choose if you were getting into tennis for the first time but is still in the beginner to intermediate line of sticks.

After reading this article, you will find out why it is great for beginners, but poor for the more advanced to professional users.

This is one of the top beginner rackets on the market. It has a great combination of control and power, and gives a very stable performance from the baseline, along with a very good response at the net.

If you are a beginner but already have a racket, then you might want to step it up and replace your old with this one. It gives great control, and good power to even those players with unrefined swings.

Because of the light weight, you should still get a good fast swing out of it, while still keeping control of where the ball goes due to a superior feel above and beyond what most rackets can achieve.

However, this racket is honestly only good from the beginner to the intermediate level of play. Players on the more advanced or professional levels of play will want to get a more refined setup. One that has either better control, or superior power, all depending on your play style of course.

Now that you have read this article you understand that the Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 is a great beginner racket because of the balance between power and control.

Its light weight gives those beginner players more staying power, but it does lack when you get to be a more advanced player and start developing your own style of game geared towards either power or control. If you are not that advanced then this racket would certainly be a hard one to pass up.

Need to go beyond your starter racket? Maybe you would benefit from something with a little more balance between control and power?If you are a beginner or intermediate tennis player, the Wilson Tennis Racquet have models that will help you succeed on the tennis court.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ben_J_Lee  

Wilson Tennis Racquets, Control and Power

Wednesday, February 3, 2010
posted by Rdgventure 12:36 PM

The Wison tennis racquets that professional tennis players play with can be purchased by recreational tennis players of all playing levels.  One of the reasons why I enjoy playing tennis is that you can play with the same or similar tennis racquet that the professional tennis players play with.  The Wilson Tennis Racquet is favored by Roger Federer.  The accomplishments of Roger is well known.  This past weekend he won his record setting 16th Grand Slam tournament, when he won the Austrailian Open.

Venus and Serena Williams have also achieved great success with the Wilson Tennis Racquet.  Serena and Venus won the Austrailian Open Doubles tournament and Serena won the Austrailian Open Singles tournament.  When choosing a tennis racquet, you should pick a tennis racquet that fit your style of play.  If you are a beginner tennis player, it is recommended that you learn to hit with control before you hit with power.

41cjzfwz2tlWhen you’re talking tennis racquets, size really does matter. The standard designations of racquet head size include oversize, mid-plus and midsize. Beginners are best served by opting for an oversize racquet, which features more square inches of string surface and a notably bigger “sweet spot.” These racquets offer more power for those with a slow swing speed.

Once you get some playing time under your belt, you’ll be ready to proceed to one of several sticks in the midsize range of Wilson tennis racquets. A smaller racquet head equates to more precision. Whether you’re hitting fierce groundstrokes from the baseline or venturing in to net, a midsize racquet will help you to guide your shots with increased precision.
