"Playing the Recon BLX for the first time, I realized how the perfect feel elevated my power and control on court," said 2011 Australian Grand Prix Singles Champion, Sho Sasaki of Japan. "Only with perfect feel you can control your game. My new racket allows me to play with razor-sharp precision and maximum power." With his new weapon, Wilson Recon BLX, Sho Sasaki has beaten World Champion Chen Jin of China during the Australian Open 2011 and Asian Badminton Championship of 2011.

BLX™ is the new Wilson racket technology engineered with BASALT fibers combining proprietary frame, grommet and grip technologies for THE PERFECT FEEL. BLX™ allows the manufacturer, in this case Wilson Sporting Goods, to fine tune the composition, geometry, grommets and grip of each racket to maximize the feel for each player type. All is left is for the stringer or retailer, e.g. Badminton Alley, to customize the right string and tension to meet the customer type of play. The addition of BASALT fibers to the graphite matrix filters out the unwanted, extreme frequencies that are uncomfortable and distracting from the pure sensation of the racket to achieve a cleaner feel at shuttlecock contact.
