I was playing in 90´s with the racquet as kid and still have one piece at home. The racquet has a very high swingweght, at least 340 or more even in a standard length. Very stable and big sweetspot also compared with some other Wilson Hammer models. Power is high both from plowthrough and racquet composition, but control is a bit missing (mainly for flatter shots). With some lighter string could feel quite aerodynamic also thanks to very oval head shape anf thin cross section. Spin is on avarage level, probably short cross strings don´t help with that

Omg, you're the king and God of the racquets in one person :O thank you very much, not only for specs but for all your review of this racquet. Thank you very much!

That page seems to have lots of tennis rackets info, the other one I can't find info about is hyper hammer 6.2 hypercarbon 103 sq in. I have this one also and was using this for some time, but never found any real info about this one maybe you also know where I could check for this?

Thanks, you are welcome I collect some Wilson Hammer models (not all) and sometimes it is hard to find all specs. There were 2 versions of Wilson Hyper Hammer 6.2. 103 versions If you mean this https://www.tengotenis.com/en/rackets/wilson-hyper-hammer-62-l2-usada.html
Specs are:
252 g weight (unstrung)
36,5 cm balance (unstrung)
23,5 mm straight beam
Composition: 60% graphite, 10% Hyper Carbon, 30% Fiberglass
String pattern: 16/20
Headshape feels like with Rectangular Geometry wit quite wide cross section

If you mean newer stable step version, I don´t own it and did not play, but on one pic here is written https://www.****.de/itm/Wilson-Hype...490433?hash=item3d9b3d4b01:g:tfYAAOSwSkpeHFDX
262 g weight (unstrung)
Thicker beam then version over, stable step frame and sometihing like dual taper beam (I think up to 25 mm)
String pattern: 16/20

I have the first one, I was always somehow finding details I needed, but with these 6.2 I was struggling a lot thank you very much again! You own this racquet too yeah?

 

[Mara35]

Yes, the first one I have, but have mixed results with its performance. It has very good control for its bigger headsize and beam, very nice free put away power but on very fast shots it is hard to make a heavy and effective ball. I would think that it is by its very low static weight, but the swingweight could be around 322-330, so it is probably not the only problem. I feel that older hammer models were in better quality done, than the hyper carbon models. Maybe less layers o material than earlier? I don´t know. Also the sweetspot less predictable than on older braided graphite & fiberglass models. I play mainly on clay a have problem to give a good spin shot also.

But still it is better than Wilson Hammer 6.2 Power Holes Titanium, which is quite low powered and has very bad feel
