What racquet is this?

[jrgfederer]

So, I recently picked up an old racquet from a club that I work/play at just for the heck of it. It's a fairly old wilson frame, and I figured that it would be fine just to have around in my bag as an extra or whatever.

Anyways, I've finally gotten around to hitting with it and I've fallen in love. It has the sweetest feel of any racquet I've played with. Only problem is, I have no idea what frame it is..

Here's what I know: It's a black wilson with a fairly wide frame. On the side of the throat it says "Graphite TOUR" on one side and "Wilson 95" on the other. Now I've tried googling/searching on these forums essentially every combination of these terms and haven't turned up any racquet that matches the one I have. I have to believe the name of the racquet is the Graphite Tour, but all I can seem to find are frames like the old Agressor and Performer, which look similar but aren't quite the same.

Anyways, here are some pictures of it to help with any IDing. Never done this before so forgive me if they don't show up correctly. I guess I'd just like to know if anyone around here recognizes this racquet and/or might know where/if I can find any more of them for sale. Thanks so much for your help!

I'd say it's a Wilson Graphite Tour 95

i've seen quite a few wilson models. this one i have bever seen before. it probabbly has analogs that have different names and paintjobs that are more familiar. what are the beam dimensions - is it a dual taper beam frame? - flat/constant beam?

 

[jrgfederer]

The beam is 25mm, constant beam. on the side in small letters it says "Aero High Beam." I don't have a scale that can accurately measure the weight, but I'd say it feels like its around 12 oz strung. obviously not a huge help, but just ballpark. Thanks again for the help!

Sounds like one of the many HighBeam series Wilson frames from the 90's

It was blue and silver over here in the UK but ooks like the same frame as i had a few of, not bad for hitting with but i soon went back to the 6.0 as it was quite different.

There was a recent thread about the Wilson Graphite Aggressor, another High Beam series model. My GA has the exact decal inside of the throat talking about the tension range.

In fact, aside from some cosmetic differences, it looks like the exact same raquet.

Not a piece of junk, but certainly not a higher end racquet. I hit with it last week, and did not like it too much, but that was mainly because the grip size is a bit big for me. One of my buddy's used it for about half a dozen games and generally liked it, but thought it was a little weak for baseline play. He called it a "control racquet with power".

I'll have to have it weighed next time I get a regular stick restrung, but I think it's slightly heavier than my K6.1 95 (355 g) to start with, and I put about 8 grams of lead on it. The balance is about 10 pts HL with the tape, and although I have not measured the SW it feels pretty similar to the K (342 SW) and my Prince TriComp 90 (~350 SW).
