WILSON Five BLX Tennis Racquet

I am a beginner/intermediate player. I switched to the Five BLX racquet from the Coral Wave BLX. It has much more power and hits the ball very smoothly. I love the control that I get as well. The coral wave was head light and this racquet is head heavy, so that was a bit of an adjustment. Overall, I love the racquet and it has improved my tennis game.

I am 52 and weigh around 95 pounds. I am a highschool student switching from Prince White 100 to the Wilson BLX Five. When using the Prince White 100 during high school tennis practice and tournaments, I felt my arm vibrate while hitting with power. The Wilson BLX Five, on the other hand, had a much more fluid movement with little to no shock. The Wilson also gives me a more powerful, accurate shot. I felt with the Prince that I couldnt hit a powerful shot without it being way outside the court. Overall, I liked the Prince White 100 racquet but preferred the Wilson BLX Five. The BLX Five has a slightly larger head 103 to the Princes 100 and a little larger sweet spot and has the dampers built into the frame to help absorb shock. The BLX Five handle, I use a number 2 grip, is soft and comfortable. The Wilson has an unstrung weight of 9.3 to the Princes 10.4 unstrung weight.

Personally love it. Wilson did a good job on this racket. Increase the power and speed . Not hurting my wrist.
