How It Tested: Thanks to a significant drop in weight (1.6 ounces lighter) the [K] Six.One Team is designed to be a more user-friendly version of the [K] Six.One 95. There’s still enough heft in the frame to give your shots some pop and the trimmer model does make it easier to get the racquet head through the hitting zone. The racquet also possesses two of the four new [K] factor innovations – nano fibers that strengthen the frame, plus an extended base above the grip to provide added feel. But you can’t take out all that weight without sacrificing some playing characteristics. While not a tuning fork the Team is very flexible and does not possess the trademark stability and comfortable ride of a classic Six.One frame. Playtesters also wished that the sweet spot was a little juicier, particularly on ground strokes. Reviews were much more favorable on serves and volleys, where the enhanced maneuverability was a real bonus.Bottom Line: Not in the same class as the Six.One Tour and 95, but for those players looking for a much lighter alternative it might be worth a try.
