What we think about it?
I love it! I played with it for almost two years and liked it much better that the head that I first started playing with. Its a bit head light so its really to maneuver which lets you swing pretty fast and to be ready to each stroke and quick at the net. At a very popular 100 head size you’ll get some good power too! That’s why I like the k 6.2 so much, its the perfect frame for the intermediate player ready to improve!
What else I like about it?
- Its a deadly combo racket for baseline and net game.
- Will improve your game.
- If you are a beginner and using an OS racket for now, the K6.2 will be your first choice , when going to a more pro racket smaller than the 110+- and bigger that the 90, so this popular head size will still give you power while not loosing much in control.
Bottom line : If you want to upgrade your beginner OS racket to something more pro and on a budget, the Wilson [K] Six.Two will be your first choice, I like it!!!
