The Blaze Tour 16 is the control version of Wilson's Blaze line, with a raw carbon face and a 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core. The elongated 16.5 x 7.5 inch shape gives reach, while the thicker core makes the touch softer and dink and reset play more predictable. The thermoformed edge with foam increases stability and reduces vibration. It weighs 8.1 oz on average, has a 5.6-inch handle, a 4 1/4 grip, and USA Pickleball approval.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%67
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
