Wilson Rackets - tapered and Dual Taper Beams

[pshulam]

I have been hitting with the Wilson Ultra FPK, Ultra Graphite, Prostaff 6.0, Prostaff 4.5si. All are 95 (in head size), tapered beams. They are comfortable and flexible with buttery feel. I prefer any one of these rackets over the Prostaff 6.0 original 95 that seems to have less plow through than any one of them.

What is your hitting experience with these rackets?

I really like the feeling of the Ultra FPK. The others I have not tried.

Well I have the 6.0. Its a decent racquet. I cant get enough spin on it tho. Thats my only grip with it and that it lacks power compared to newer frames.

I have similar experience with the PS Original 6.0 95, which I have a hard time to hit the ball over the net from the baseline.

I bought it because I was told it would play like a 95 in k90. I didnt. Now im getting a k90.

It was the first widebody I used. Had to quit on it though. Awesome on any volley above the net... not so good for trying to keep anything in the court when you had to dig one out from below the net. Had to go back to narrow beam... victim of the Borg era and all, I'm used to swinging hard.

Bought and put one back in the collection though - hit with it when I got it, and know why I used to like it... great feeling stick. Ditto the Ultra and Ultra II.
