The Wilson Tour Limited BLX is an all new specification in the Wilson Tour BLX family, as used by Justine Henin. Wilson introduces the use of Basalt fiber (BLX) technology for improved feel and frame feedback. Specs are comparable to the very popular Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 MP offering a smaller 95 sq. in. head size, but with the added pop of a wider beam, longer 27.5 inch length and enlarged Power Holes grommet technology at 3:00 and 9:00 positions on the frame. 16x20 string pattern for added spin potential for intermediate players who prefer a 95 square inch head size.
BLX builds upon the very popular K Factor design, offering a refinement of Wilson frame technology that provides the ultimate in feel and performance. Uses new Wilson Performance Hybrid Grip, which offers a balance of feel and comfort in a cotton-backed, tackified polyurethane synthetic grip.
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.
