Product Description
The Wilson K Sting 105 is a new specification for 2008 and is one of the most versatile choices in the K Factor line. With the KSting, Wilson has combined the power, stability, and crispness of K Factor technology with a slightly more versatile, and a nicely controlled 26mm beam. Slightly head heavy, the KSting is very maneuverable and feels lighter than its 9.7 oz. strung weight suggests. The K Sting suits a wide variety of playing styles and ability levels, from beginner to an intermediate-advanced player with a short to moderately long swing.

All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4 new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations depending on the [K] Factor model.

Amazon.com Product Description
What's the difference between winning and losing? Wilson boils it down to one word: [k]ontrol. The Wilson [K] Sting remains one of the most versatile choices in the [K] Factor line, making it a terrific all-around racquet for players of any skill level. The [K] Sting is made using [k]arophite black nanotechnology, a proprietary next-generation structure that results in better feel and a stronger, more stable performance. As a result, it's easier than ever for players to shape their shots and hit the corners with accuracy. And control is a crucial tool, as players who had the fewest unforced errors have won a combined 74 percent of the most recent Grand Slam tournaments.

The racquet also boasts Wilson's Double Hole technology, with an increased diameter for the grommet holes. This allows the stringbed to flex more when impacted by the ball, resulting in a smoother feel and added power. Other details include a slightly more versatile 26 mm beam, a 105-square-inch head size, and a lightweight 9.7-ounce head. A favorite of players everywhere, the [K] Sting helps you [k]ontrol your opponent and take your game to the next level.
