I’m sure you’ve already heard all the buzz about a new tennis racquet coming from Wilson in 2012. I cannot confirm this yet; however, there have been reports that the new model could be used by the great Roger Federer. Currently, Federer uses Wilson’s BLX SixOne Tour (just so happens to be on sale now for $149, coincidence?). The new Wilson tennis racket coming out, I have heard, has secured the name ProStaff Six.One BLX 90.

Who knows if this is actually the new tennis racquet that Federer will use, however; it could very well be. From the spec sheet I found, the following are the specs for the PS BLX Six.One 90:

  • Headsize: 90 square inches
  • Strung weight: 12.5 ounces (355 grams)
  • Length: 27 inches
  • Strung balance: 9 points headlight
  • Beam width: 17mm flat beam

This also looks like a Federer signature series tennis racquet, so it’s up to you to determine if it’s the new frame Roger will carry in 2012.

I guess I’ll just have to wait for this racquet to be released by Wilson and I’m sure most other manufactuers will be releasing new tennis equipment at the end of the year; it’s time for Head, Prince, and Babolat to put out some new frames.

Here’s a quick video of the the new 2012 Wilson ProStraff Six.One BLX 90:

    2012 is a year Wilson chose to keep the same production specs to save money and merely put some “lip stick on the pig”. Prettier? maybe, new racket? no way.

      From what I’ve heard, Wilson will be doing more than just a “lip stick/paint job,” apparently the grips will come with customization features. There is also going to be some new technology but Wilson will keep some of the BLX technologies. I’m looking forward to play testing the BLX Six.One!

    The newly proposed Wilson PS 6.1 90 for 2012 is very dissapointing; looks like the same racket, same specs, just a new paint job. We’re a little more sophistiacted than that.
