Wilson Tour 95 BLX Tennis Racquet

|
 
The Wilson Tour 95 BLX is one of the most versatile Wilson tennis racquets I’ve played with. It has a Mid Plus head size, a moderate 10.8 strung weight, and an even balance. All combine to make this an all-around frame.
Groundstrokes
The ground strokes weren’t any challenge. Whether I was confronted with a high-deep ball, or one at a sharp angle, I was able to do what I wanted. The racquet was maneuverable, and provided ready access to spin. I would have asked for a little more weight, but that could be solved with some lead tape.
Volleys
The all-purpose capabilities of this racquet proved evident at the net as well. The extra .25 inches in length gave me greater reach, and allowed me to put my racquet on those tough volleys that were at knee-level or below.
Serve
Starting with serves I became aware of this racquet’s ability. Used to a 95 square inch head size, I had no trouble adjusting to the hitting area, but adjusting to the balance took a few moments. The balance threw off my timing, which affected my ability to hit the ball. The Mid Plus head size provided plenty of precision. I was able to serve and place the ball anywhere. The power afforded by this racquet is minimal to moderate, but I found it sufficient.
Overall
This racquet possesses all-court adaptability. I see this racquet suiting a wide range of intermediate to upper intermediate players. Even though this racquet exceeded my expectations, I prefer a frame with more weight. Regardless, if you’re looking for a stable and control-oriented 95-square-inch head size, then Wilson’s Tour 95 BLX could be your next frame gripped in victory.
