Wilson 100 Balls

[SwankPeRFection]

Anyone else run into a can of Wilson balls with 100 as the number on them? Thought that was interesting. I'm guessing it's for their 100 year anniversary.

I opened a can of those a week ago...

They used these during AO was really confusing when practicing... Couldn't say oh I was using number 2's cause everyone was using 100.

Just Wilson celebrating their 100 years in business. Otherwise identical to their other balls. At my club we get the occasional can.

Yea, I bought a few from Walmart recently. The label on the can is slightly different as well. I think I may go back and get a few more, and save them as souvenirs.

We've used them for a couple matches here at my school, and honestly I don't like them. Compared to the other balls we've used this season (including wilson u.s. opens), they don't seem to bounce very well.

I got that impression to. A little mushier than the usual US Open-ball, strange.

I plan on getting a few cans online for the same reason. $15 bucks a pop, but it's worth it to me. I love the whole Wilson 100 line of products and I'll be sad when they go. The white bag, the shoes, and everything are all high quality.

There are also US open balls with 100 on them, which are otherwise identical to the regular numbered US open balls.

I'm a bit confused....are they making these in white like the pic above shows?

 

[slice bh compliment]

The ones i got are yellow.
And yes, they are even crappier than a us open ball....which is saying something.

Wilson....at least you did something right with those overgrips and the rf 97.

Agree - Pro OG is A-OK.

Wilson needs to spec a ball that isn't specifically for 2 Sets in Higher Elevations on Windy Days in South of France. Can't be that damned hard to do what Dunlop does . . . and maybe a little bit better.
