The Wilson K Tour is the latest update to the n Tour and nTour Two used by Justine Henin and Lindsey Davenport. The K Tour carries on the tradition of the previous-generation Wilson nTours, providing traditional feel with a slightly head-heavy "Hammer" balance.
A little more power and maneuverability can be found in the K Tour than in more traditional players frames such as the KSixOne and the K Blade. Wilson has kept most specifications consistent with past nTour models: 27.25 inch length, 10.8 ounce strung weight, slight head heavy balance, 16x20 string pattern, 22mm straight beam, and 95 square inch headsize.
All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4 new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations depending on the [K] Factor model:
[K]arophite Black-an evolution of Wilson nCode technology which utilizes a new structure incorporating additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet.
[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.
[K]ontour Yoke-New frame cross-section shape that enhances stiffness at key stress points for improved torsional stability
[K]ompact Center-New shortened yoke design that improves handling, maneuverability, and provides additional feel.
The Wilson K Tour utilizes [K]arophite Black and Double Hole technologies to provide the ultimate in feel and [K]ontrol.
