Jul 2, 2004. #1. After many restless days of anticipation, my first of two (matched pair) Wilson nCode Six-One Tours arrived via Fed Ex yesterday. Of course, I was immediately off to the courts for extended demos both last night and this afternoon! Here are my initial impressions after a total of approximately five and a half hours of drilling ...
I am using the Wilson Prostaff Surge (to cheap to upgrade, current price $59). My rackets weigh 11.8 ounces strung. Both have leather grips and lead tape at 3, 12, and 3. Just under 12 ounces, which is perfect for me. Any switch to the Ncode version.
Aug 10, 2005. #1. Wow! This racket does look like something from Star Wars. And at $279, this is gotta be the most expensive tennis racket currently available, I think. Are there more expensive sticks out there?
Oct 3, 2005. #3. LOL. I've seen people who serve underhand from inside the baseline play with N5s. Really, just get a racquet. For beginners, get a cheap pre strung with a at least a Midplus size with a proper sized grip in a colour that you like. Later, get a tweener or player's stick when you are better.
My 2 nCode 90s are 355g and 365g (strung). 10g difference between the 2. The specified unstrung weight is 340g. I can accept 350g-355g strung but 365g is too heavy to haul around. My old Head iPrestige racquets are within 3 g of each other. As a result of poor Wilson quality, I had to get my ncodes "customized" to the same weight and balance.
Bionic Poster. Aug 16, 2010. #3. Wilson nBlade nCode Racquets. Price: 179.99. The nBlade racquets from Wilson bring a fresh look to the Wilson player's racquet line up. Compared to the nSix-One range, the nBlade racquets offer tighter, more control oriented string patterns, and a lighter, more maneuverable weight.
Jun 1, 2008. #3. I demoed the npro open a last year and was unimpressed. It seemed to be a bit of a flimsy light-weight compared to the regular npro (the one with the 18 x 18 string pattern). The npro open had a very whippy feel to it but didn't feel as solid as the old npro.
May 3, 2006. #2. I have one...and the reviews are pretty much spot on. It really is a nice doubles stick which is a majority of what I play. There is a lot of control on serve and volleys which is what I was looking for. I was surprised to find out that it was decent from the baseline, but like mentioned before, it's a bit too light.
From the racquets I've hit with, the n6 was my favorite lightweight widebody. The blue ncode is stiffer and has more power, but because of its light weight, it hurt my elbow with the cheap synthetic string it had. With weight added to make it headlight and with gut, though, it might also be a good choice. Last edited: Jan 21, 2007.
The 97 gives you a bit more sweet spot and the spin and power will be there assuming you have the technique to handle the weight and swing weight. The Pro Staff 97 V14 is another one to look at if you want to stay in the Wilson family. A few have said that it has that nCode DNA in it with this version.
