Why BLX?

BL stands for basalt, X stands for 9 extraordinary, proprietary technologies. BLX for the Perfect Feel.

Basalt: Basalt is a natural volcanic rock. It can be used in manufacturing where it is made into fine gold fibers with incredible vibration resistance. Wilson's new technology, BLX, has used these basalt fibers and woven them longitudinally with [K]arophite Black to create one of the most advanced composites in the industry.

With basalt, a smoother signal reaches the hand. BLX technology delivers clean feedback and better sensation for the Perfect Feel.

Double Holes™: Bigger holes allowing 26 degrees of string movement for a bigger sweetspot.

    • Q:

      What would be the closest racquet in today's market to the Wilson ProStaff Classic 6.1?

        A:

        The closest racquet to the ProStaff Classic 6.1 may be the Pro Staff Six.One 95 (http://www.holabirdsports.com/wilson-pro-staff-sixone-95-blx.html). The racquets are not identical by any means, but the Pro Staff Six.One series is definitely a comparable racquet targeted towards a similar audience.
