    NAH its not heavy, sure graphites are a little lighter, but this karophite material is so durable that it survived a 100kmph clash with a yonex musclepower and the muclepower broke, but the Ktour still works like a dream. No vibes, period.:D

    YEEESS, the KTOUR is heavier, but thats not nesscesairly a bad thing, as most of the weight is directed toward the head for some serious in-your-face smashes :cool: the KSTRIKE is their cheaper line of racquet. U can get in at your local nationalsports, but for the KTOUR u gotta go to a specialty racquet store:D

    For cheap Wilson racquets, I think Singapore is the place !

    They are selling most of the K factor racquets here for S$99 and even throw in the Wilson bag which cost S$89 ! Not all shops have the free bag, though I think Suntec still has them.

    Which type of Wilson Bag that is offered? The quality one that can be use as a bagpack? It's really a good offer cause the bag itself is selling like RM$160 for the 2 zip type in Malaysia. GOt thermal guard as well inside.

    Yep, that's the one they are giving free. The big bag that they said was worth $89.

    Kfactor rackets are all betwen SGD$69 to $99 here. Their original price as mentioned was between $249 to $300.

    Am tempted to get a Ktour now. Or maybe wait for a 2nd hand yonex Ti10 or AT.

    Yes, it is the type that can be used as a back pack and comes with 2 zip section, one with moisturegard and the other with thermalgard technology.

    There are 2 colors, the one they give as freebie is green and the other is gold. I actually like the green more as i think it is a unique color.

    The bag looks nice but it is heavy and also it has limited storage area. I have the habit of putting my racquets in their original cover into my racquet bag and for the Wilson bag, it is not big enough to accomodate unless the racquet cover is very small.

    Yes, the price here for Wilson is really crazy. Not too sure about the listed price though as that's like S$200 - S$300 and I certainly won't pay that much for a Wilson but at S$99 and with a free bag, it is really a steal !

    Not that surprising to me. A lot of people believed they can play better with the lightest rackets.

    It is worth trying the lightest rackets though. I know not everyone plays best with them but I don't intend to be giving up my MTec 70 in a hurry.
