Wilson Shift V1 vs “Labs”

Anyone know how much difference there is the beta “Wilson Labs” shift (300) vs the official v1?

I loved my Shifts. Just wondering if I should grab another Labs version while I can. Or if the v1 is sufficiently similar for when I need to get another.

Interesting, I didn't know there were any other variations other than the standard 285, 300 and 315 gm versions.
I can't help you with your question.

But since you brought up the Shift rackets...
I'm pretty sure I saw Sakkari playing with a Shift recently.
Does anyone know of any other pro player (male or female) using them?

I can't remember who's video it was that said Wilson made a few slight tweaks based on the feedback from the Labs seeding... might actually be the TW podcast.

Think it was just adjustment to swingweight, the balance, and the flex?

People seems to prefer the Labs version, if you read the Shift threads here.

That's why I was wondering -- if I should pic up another Labs version. (or 2).
But nothing definitive on what changed.

The v1 came out not that long after the Labs version became publicly available. So not sure if Wilson truly even had time to change anything.

I might get either( or even a 315), but definitely in a smaller grip size. L2 this time, as I love it in TGT 293.1 with a TK82S Head shape.
