Wilson New Project Racquet New Line

[Smittithekitty]

Well
I guess the wait has been over. There is a new racket line coming to Wilson

It is separate from the current Pro Staff, Blade, Burn and Ultra family line.


We are too waiting for the launch in Nov! Stay tune for reviews and photos!

We were chosen to test and I’ll not sure how small is the testing group however they are going to launch via social media hence why we are chosen.

I’m pretty stoked but I’m glad R&D is still moving vs paint jobs

 

[johnwah]

so whats going to be special about it??

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Do they target beginner, intermediate or advanced players?

I’m in the dead so the email that was sent was only how they plan to release it and how used the word “revolutionary” technology... I’m not sure but being it is a very social media type of launch it might be toward millennials haha... but rest assure it’s nothing we have ever seen. We are all excited

 

[A_Instead]

Horray...the 6.1 line is coming back...

 

[IowaGuy]

but rest assure it’s nothing we have ever seen.

Never heard that before from any of the racket manufacturers

 

[TennisHound]

Great, another chance for Wilson to flood the market with junky frames. I can’t wait to get my hands on an updated “Bold” or “Envy”! Woo woo!

 

[Classic-TXP-IG MID]

Staying tuned...

 

[SpinToWin]

I’d say I’m intrigued, but worried puts it better after seeing what Head thought revolutionary amounts to.

 

[J-Wildcard]

I actually look to Wilson as being more sensible with their range but this could change I guess. I think Head has lost it in recent years with a ridiculous amount of frames and gimmicks such as the mxg series. It seems the quality has gone downhill. I did think Wilson briefly lost it with terribly cheap feelong frame finished but has recovered with the rubbery finish on the latest series which feels nice and is a throwback to the legendary intelligence series Head did in the early 2000s.

 

[Big Bagel]

Those doubting Wilson, just give it a shot.

 

[Smittithekitty]

Should be interesting

Those doubting Wilson here, I can attest that it is something completely new and that whatever it is that they did, works. I don't know any specific details about it, but I'm surprised to hear that the launch date has now moved to November. Last I heard it was going to be February. Wilson has been very secretive about this project, and I can honestly say that I'll probably be getting one once they release a slightly heavier version which I've heard will likely come later next year, although that one isn't as definitive as their first launch will be.

shouls be interesting now the launch of the demo is set in November like I said heard no details besides it’s new hahahha

[tennis4me]

I lost hope after hearing the word "revolutionary technology" used.

 

[Seth]

“Revolutionary” you say? Just imagine if it’s a concept where you buy the handle, throat collar, and frame separately so you can mix and match head sizes, grips, and throat dampening.

That would sell well, I’m sure.

 

[Seth]

Really though if it’s not a way to reintroduce the 6.1 I’m out.

 

[Big Bagel]

I wish they'd reintroduce the 6.1 again.

 

[I-hitballs]

(Whistle) ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN, NEXT STOP, WILSONVILLE!

Now shut up and take my money!

 

[IowaGuy]

Those doubting Wilson here, I can attest that it is something completely new and that whatever it is that they did, works.

I sure hope it's better than other recent "revolutionary" releases from Wilson:

BLX
Amplifeel 360
TRIAD
Spin Technology
Parallel drilling
Countervail
Hyper Carbon

I thought the BLX and Hyper Carbon were fine. Especially in the BLX 6.1 and HPS 6.1.

Especially the HPS 6.0 95

Don’t forget the Rollers

 

[am1899]

...I’ve heard this hype before, particularly from Wilson. I’m not doubting them releasing a new line. But whether or not it is “revolutionary,” I’ll need to see for myself.

 

[ChaelAZ]

It's camo paint!

Wait...

 

[A_Instead]

It will be called the "Blast" line..
To replace the soon to be discontinued "Burn" line...

 

[QuentinFederer]

Hopefully H22

 

[a12345]

It will be a return to wooden rackets with a mandatory accompanying sweatband that must be worn at all times.

 

[1990's Graphite]

It will be a new project called 'tolerance' targetting actual tolerance of +/-7 instead of their +/- 17

 

[SavvyStringer]

They need to release the Ultra Tour in a 16x19. Then they can quit updating frames.

 

[Big Bagel]

I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

[1HBHfanatic]

I think they should call it "wilson.zweet".

 

[1990's Graphite]

Let's hope they continue to listen and do what head isn't. The ultra tour was maybe a test before they actually release some sort of custom pro stock options h19 / h22 ... that would be something... but most likely not as the whole paintjob endorsement thing goes straight out the window with that.
A see through racquet, where you can actually see the layup ?
A paintjob that changes color when in the sun, in contact with moisture?
Adjustable length?
Just make a great racquet, so I can replace my worn out ps97s frames

 

[Dartagnan64]

The only thing revolutionary in tennis has been graphite and polyester. Everything else has largely been window dressing. Move some weight around, change the flex a bit, alter the hoop shape a bit: bam, new racquet. Then just add some marketing gimmick and get your sponsored pros to play with a paint job. Revolution!!

 

[Kozzy]

They need to release the Ultra Tour in a 16x19. Then they can quit updating frames.

I'd be happy with the 18X20 but with a truly decent paint job. But then, I love 18X20

 

[atatu]

The spin technology hype was really over the top and it worked very well to get people excited for awhile...but now not so much.

 

[Pro Kenneth]

What happened with the spin technology? Just not popular?

 

[FedLIKEnot]

The sad part is there someone on here who has seen a catalog pic and knows whats up. Haha.

Yep, its like those posts that say "There's something new coming, I've seen it, but I can't tell you anything about it. I just wanted you to know that I'm 'in the know'" lol

 

[PBODY99]

@Pro Kenneth
Works for a small segment who did not find

1. String life was low
2. Launch angle was high

 

[Pro Kenneth]

Yeah launch angle just too high for (me in) doubles, which is most rec games (75% in USTA stats)

 

[Crocodile]

I believe there is this new technology that some of the Wilson sponsored players have been testing. Apparently what it does is allows players to receive messages from the coaching box without being detected by onlookers or umpires.

 

[NuBas]

Hmm either its a simple rehash with lots of hype and marketing or its a new technology that really won't be anything significant, and if maybe significant hopefully nothing like Head MXG.

Very doubtful they are gonna release an actual good players frame. Also don't be too excited cause it might be excuse to introduce new price point, $279 upwards.

 

[I-hitballs]

$279+???

Shut up and give me my money back!

 

[SavvyStringer]

What happened with the spin technology? Just not popular?

I think it worked well in the 18 main rackets. The 16 main rackets were unruly. Lots of local, low level women play them because they generate easy power and spin that they can't get on their own. I liked the PS97S.

 

[Karma Tennis]

WIlson Pro Open Countervail !!!!!

 

[1HBHfanatic]

Just looked at TW wilson apparel and shoes, lots of orange...

 

[Big Bagel]

[SpinToWin]

Yeah, that's why I never started a thread. I just figured I'd chime in since somebody else said something. The one that I know of that they are supposedly releasing first is going to be lighter, I think 100" head size, but I heard rumors about that leading to a full new line of racquets, with (hopefully) a heavier players version coming out a little later.

In other words, a replacement for the Burn likely is coming. That would explain the move of the Burn 95 mould to the Ultra 95 (at least from what I know from here).

The burn.fst line is out
the steam line is out
the juice line ?!

Well, the juice now is the ultra.
