Wilson BLX Khamsin Five

This Khamsin Five BLX comes loaded with power potential for the beginning to intermediate level player. The 108 square inch headsize offers a large, forgiving sweetspot. Our TW playtesters found that this racquet offered plenty of comfort even on off-center shots. The Khamsin Five features basalt in the layup of the frame to reduce unwanted frequencies as well as the Triad and AGT technologies. AGT allows the strings to have greater movement to increase the sweetspot and offer a forgiving feel, while the Triad system offers power and reduced shock on off-center shots, Wilson says. The head heavy balance offered our testers ample power even on slower, compact swings from the baseline. At net, there was plenty of pop to put the ball away but still enough feel to execute to touch shots. The Khamsin Five BLX is a must demo for players who are looking for comfort and are seeking some help in the power department.
