Product Notes

Apparently this racket is made with basalt fibers. That’s right, basalt, which is just cooled-off lava, straight from a volcano. Which is exactly what people are going to say about you, if you play with this racket.

Spotted

Check out Peter Barker using the racket against Nick Matthew in this crazy rally from the finals of the 2011 Case Swedish Open. Peter’s moving so well. You might even say he’s flowing like lava.

Here’s USA’s Timothy Brownell with this racket at the 2019 TOC:

    Hello.
    Is the first picture of the page, a 2014 model?
    I see many different face in 138 tour blx model and get confused.

      I think that’s the 2012 model. I believe this is the 2014 version:

      I’m not sure which year is best but I have a feeling they are all pretty similar.

    I’ve noticed Nicolas Mueller playing with new Wilson racket, called prostaff, noticed on his facebook page and at el gouna, looks similar to blx tour 138g. Don’t know it’s stats though, it’s white and orange

    Hiya all, greetings & salutations. I managed to buy two (1 used and 1 brand new) at USD60 which I thought was a pretty sweet deal. I am currently using the carboflex 130 which I feel is a so-so racket albeit its immense popularity among the professional players. My all-time fave is still the dunlop aerogel 4d elite. First off, this head-heavy blx tour is a very very powerful racket. I played 15 sets using solely this racket and my buddies simply will not accept the number of nicks I managed to squeeze in last night. It was so easy with the head-heavy frame to execute a cross-court nick. Regardless of the will power within, I simply cannot defy Mother Nature (I’m 41 this year), as the games dragged on, the racket really started to feel like Thor’s hammer. In the 14th & 15th game, practically all my forehand volley drops went down ringing the tin like a jackpot machine. I had to change my tactics to down-the-wall attrition squash but it was simply no-go. The weight distribution is very obvious. Overall, it was sheer pleasure playing with this racket but ONLY when the player is fresh. Will update on its durability in due course. Thank you all.

    Haider asks if the racket is fake or not. Hologram or something?

    I have not seen fake squash rackets, but I bought two Yonex top model badminton rackets in Russia, 8 euros a piece. Well, they were shit obviously, and I knew it.

    I just bought 2 of these Wilson Tour BLX (2011) rackets with a 50% discount. Strung and regripped with a Karakal grip, this racket weighs just under the 160 grams. The Wilson site mentions a balancepoint of 35,7 cm; I’ve measured about 36,3 cm which I would call slightly head-heavy.

    Immediately at the first balls I hit with it, it felt good. Great control and feel, with plenty of power “under the hood”. What I like most about these Wilson Tour BLX rackets is their simple, straight and decent design.

    Recommended! 🙂
