Wilson KSurge Racquet




Wilson has totally revamped the Surge. Not only does this new version get the KFactor treatment, it comes in a completely new spec and offers a very different feel to previous Surge models.

The specs of the Hyper ProStaff 5.1 Surge and the nCode nPro Surge racquets were virtually identical, with a heftier 11 ounce strung weight, a head-light balance and dynamic swingweights around 320.

Wilson has trimmed the new KSurge down to 10.3 ounces, shifted the balance towards the head and given the racquet a maneuverable 301 swingweight. Unlike the previous Surge models, the KSurge only comes in standard length.

Any concerns that the reduction in weight would diminish the performance of the Surge racquet line was quickly forgotten when we initially took the KSurge out for a round of hitting. In fact, we were so impressed by the solid response this lightweight stick offered, we handed it over to our playtest team for some further analysis. Read on for the full report of our three-week playtest
