Technical data sheet

The most distinguishable feature of the racquet remains untouched: we are talking about the 18×16 string pattern, designed to provide greater approach to rotations, compared to models with typical patterns. The balance is set back by 5mm, in order to offer a tool with better manoeuvrability and to reach a diverse range of players. Weight is only rounded from 294g to 295g. To notice, the polarization of masses, that is highlighted by a good inertia and a high Polar Index.

The FeelFlex system, which replaces the old Countervail, decreases considerably the firmness of the frame, intending to provide extra comfort and transmit few vibrations during the impact. Essentially, we are facing an arm-friendly frame.
The Parallel Drilling gaps’ structure is still there, allowing the strings to move and work at their best. 

Pro Performance is Wilson’s new grip: smooth, not too thick, letting you feel the shape of the grip and the cap.
