What is BLX?
Basalt is a natural volcanic rock used in manufacturing and made into fine and ultra fine gold fibers. Basalt fibers are enviornmentally friendly and superior to other fibers in terms of thermal stability, sound insluation, vibration assistance and durability. With the new BLX line, Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with the innovating [K]arophite Black to create the most advanced composite ever in the industry. Players will find the ultimate in frequency reduction while retaining the performance of carbon fiber in terms of lightness, responsiveness, stability and rigidity.
Basalt added into racquets filters out unwanted frequencies (i.e vibrations) that reach the hand to deliver a clean feedback and sensation for the perfect feel players demand.

I'm 75 yrs old, doubles only, about a 3.5 player. NXT 17g is great on this racket. If you string it at the low end, you will get a lot of power with a short, slow swing - but not much control. Strung at the maximum 65, you still have a very arm-friendly racket, and you still have good pace on your ground strokes and volleys with a bit more effort, but now with good control. Racket produces a lot of spin. The one thing I could not do is serve "heat" with this racket. Easy to go long. You will be spinning your serves in. I have been trying (lots of) other rackets thinking I might lift my game now that I am developing a full swing. I did find a couple that I could play more consistently with, but I felt them in my wrist and arm after even a short session, so they aren't for me.
