Switched from K6.1 to FMT
I recently switched from the Wilson K-Factor 6.1 16×18 to the Fischer Magnetic Tour. I like the K6.1 b/c it’s solid, pretty head light, and I can serve well with it… But my main motivations for moving were these:
- String eater
- Heavy during long matches
- Powerful. Quick-reaction shots could really zip.
The Fischer Magnetic Tour is a lighter stick, and it has a super nice pick-up weight. It just feels like an easy stick to play with. It’s got some pop, but less so than the K6.1. I feel like it has more control and a more predictable hit than the K6.1 b/c of the 16×19 pattern. So far it’s a little different on the serve. Strings seem to last well in it. And quick shots are so much easier and tend to stay in the court. It’s got a great smooth feel to it as well. Fischer rackets just have the same smoothness across the board which I really like. Let’s see if she keeps up with me and I stick with these FMT’s.
