Wilson nCode

When a racquet is nCoded nano-sized silicone oxide crystals permeate the voids between the carbon fibers. This adjustment made at the molecular level significantly strengthens and enhances the stability of the overall carbon matrix. Stronger and even more resilient nCoded racquets play better longer.

nCoded racquets measure 2 times stronger 2 times more stable and up to 22% more powerful than ordinary racquets.

Wilson HyperCarbon

Hyper Carbon is a space age material used primarily by the aerospace industry in the construction of satellites and state of the art airplanes. As defined by Wilson, Hyper Carbon is......"the first Ultra High Modulus graphite ever used in tennis racquets." Hyper Carbon is claimed to be 4 time stronger, 4 times stiffer and 65% lighter than titanium.

Wilson Hammer

Hammer technology maintains the majority of racquet mass, or weight, in the head of the frame (head heavy balance), with the intention of increasing stability and power. In turn, weight is reduced in the shaft and handle, providing for a higher and larger sweetspot, or Center of Percussion (COP).

Wilson ProStaff

A style of racquet with a lower Center of Percussion (COP), or sweetspot, that maintains more weight in the handle section than head (head light balance). ProStaff racquets are best known as control oriented "players" racquets. Opposite of head heavy (Hammer) balanced frames.

Wilson Stretch

Stretch: A term meaning any Wilson racquet longer than the standard 27inch length.Stretch racquets provide more power (leverage), extend reach, and providebetter angles when serving.

Wilson Flat Beam

Flat Beam: Refers to a racquet with a constant width cross section. Usually found in conjunction with head light (ProStaff), control oriented Wilson racquets.

Wilson PWS

Perimeter Weighting System uses weight on the perimeter (3 and 9 o'clock positions) of the frame to increase the racquet's inertia and to improve torsional stability and reduce racquet twisting.

Wilson Dual Taper

Dual Taper Beam: Wilson's varying width of a racquet's cross-section. From a side view, the cross-section of a Dual Taper Beam racquet varies from thin-to-thick-to thin in the racquet's head-to-shoulder-to-handle regions respectively. This tapered design concentrates racquet stiffness in the primary area where the racquet bends during ball contact.

W Slingshot-Yoke

Wilson's new Slingshot-Yoke design features a broader throat for increased stability during play. The Slingshot-Yoke allows the W racquets to offer a stable response while being light and maneuverable.

Wilson IsoGrid

The new Series H racquets combine the heritage of Hammer and Hyper Carbon with a breakthrough construction technology called IsoGrid. IsoGrid creates a matrix of carbon fibers within the walls of the frame to produce phenomenal strength.

Series H racquets establish a new standard of stability in racquet design - a full 10% more stable than competitive models. They feel rock solid. They explode with power. Ask Lindsay Davenport Todd Martin and Justine Henin. They are already Series H believers.

Wilson Iso-Zorb Grommets

Iso-Zorb is an exclusive Wilson polymer similar to the material used in skyscraper foundations to absorb the shock of an earthquake. The grommets in the Hyper Hammer 2.7, 4.0 and 6.2 are engineered from this material. According to Wilson, vibration is reduced by 30% for increased playing comfort.

W nZone

Located at the 3, 9 and 12 o'clock positions on the racquet face, Wilson's nZone grommet system offers increased power and a more dampened and comfortable response. nZone increases the size of the sweetspot for a more forgiving response.
