Which Wilson [K] Factor Racquet should i buy?
I'm soon going to be on the high school jv tennis team and i need a new tennis racquet.
My previous one is a nfocus racquet with the oversized head.
I usually am a baseline player and don't hit that many volleys and i move around quicker than most people would.
Money is not an issue.

Try the K-zen, it has a little bit more power than the other K players' racquets.

Interesting question as I am playing with both the (K) 6.1 95" Team and (K)Zen (103"). The Zen gives me a little more power. The 6.1 gives me a little more control. I like both and use both depending on the type of opponent I have. I find that I am more consistent with the 6.1 if I'm hitting baseline to baseline shots against a hardhitting opponent. When I need to lob and volley, I seem to reach for the Zen. But each player is different. Find a racket that's right for you. Demo it a few times before buying. As money is not an issue, demo 4 rackets from Tennis-Warehouse.com
But before you do, go to Tennis.com and use their racket finder. It's really useful because it helps you to compare all the rackets on the market by the same measurement scale: headsize, weight, swingweight, power, balance, etc. If you key in the racket you are most familiar with, it will bring up all the rackets with the same or similar statistics.
May all your balls hit the line.

Go to a local pro shop, and try them out. You need to find what you think feels the best. Even when money isn't an issue, you want to make sure you are getting what you want when you go to spend that kind of money. If you choose well, this racquet should last you for years.
I also always suggest that people try other brands, too. Limiting yourself to one brand isn't good. What if Babolat happens to make the best racquet for you, but you don't give it a try? The point it, look at the racquets for their individual offerings, not for what brand they are.
A few simple guidelines:
Head light racquets are good for spin and touch. Heavier racquets have more control. Lighter racquets will help provide more power. However, if you don't need the power from the racquet, then get a heavier racquet. Oversize heads are more forgiving (larger sweet spot), while midplus/midsize have more control.
I would start out trying something around 11 oz. Then try something a little heavier and see what you think. If it seems too heavy, then go a little lighter. Look for whatever you like the best.

Demo the KSix-One 95 with16/18 string pattern. If you've got the basics of the game, the KSix-One 95 16/18 will hold up pretty good. The racket's mass will lessen work in terms of pace, depth and spin plus the headlight balance keeps the swingweight manageable. The open string pattern offers a tad more ball speed off the stringbed (compared to the 18 x 20) since you basically stick to the baseline and got fresh legs. The 95 has a bigger sweetspot and is easier to tame than its K90 sibling. Paste 'em balls and hit 'em hard!

You should really try the K Factor six one team since it has look of the more nicer racket with a very forgiving power.
I hope this will help you :)

well coincidentally.... im about to buy a [K] factor zen... it has great percision for an experienced player and it doesnt cost much (even though u said cost doesnt matter), its only around 180. Get the [K] factor zen... its orange and black stripes around it.
It gives the ball a good spin if you have a good forehand

it's all in the size and weight. i personally love heavier rackets. but if you like the ligher or middle one that is you. try out the different weights and see. but you must remember that if you move up in weight your stamina may decreese
