Are you an all-court player? Then Wilson has the perfect racket for you!
Wilson Sporting Goods Co. has unveiled its newest high performance racket franchise called ULTRA. This collection is designed for all-court players, players that hit well from all corners of the court and who seek a racket that is easy to swing, provides strong power and offers great maneuverability and comfort. You’ll be able to see it in action for yourself when Wilson advisory staff member and #16 ATP ranked player Feliciano Lopez debuts the ULTRA on tour in 2016.
As we visited courts all over the world to talk with adult players about what they needed from a racket, our Wilson Labs team quickly realized versatility, power and ease were key. To engineer that experience, we delved into our best designs for inspiration and created a modern racket with a unique frame geometry and state-of-the art materials and construction. For our athletes, the result is a racket that is easy to handle, feels effortless with every stroke, and yet is very, very powerful. — Hans-Martin Reh, GM of Wilson Racquet SportsThe ULTRA racket features an innovative frame design inspired by the company’s new, cutting-edge BURN® FST racket geometry, which allows players to swing faster with less effort. The racket’s lightweight frame is complemented by premium high performance carbon fiber to deliver power in every stroke, while its cushion foam handle offers optimal shock absorption for comfort.
There is an ULTRA racket model for each type of all-court player:
- The ULTRA 97 combines the precision from a mid-plus headsize with easy power. This racket is smooth and its forgiving feel makes it perfect for both the advanced singles and doubles player.
- The ULTRA 100 is best for intermediate to advanced all-court players.
- The ULTRA 103S is designed for intermediate level players who love the game and are looking to improve their performance.
- The ULTRA 108 is designed for the newbie all-courter to those who have mastered the basic tennis skills; it is ideal for the doubles player. This racket features a large oversize head and a big, comfortable sweet spot to provide high power.
The ULTRA is the second all-courter collection to emerge from the Company’s PlayerID system. The UTLRA line will be available for $229.00 at Tennis-Warehouse and on www.wilson.com on December 15.
ABOUT THE WILSON PLAYERID SYSTEM
The Wilson PlayerID system allows tennis players to easily identify the appropriate Wilson performance racket model based on their individual style of play.
Through extensive player research, Wilson identified three core playing styles in relation to the modern tennis game:
- Baseliner – the player who battles from the baseline with consistency and speed
- Attacker – the player who attacks the ball early to dictate play inside the baseline
- All-courter – a versatile player, who hits from all corners of the court
After identifying which playing style they belong to, athletes can quickly narrow their racket search by model type and weight. Every performance racket for Wilson will correspond with one of the three playing style segments, streamlining the racket selection process and ensuring a player’s equipment is best suited for his or her style of play.
