What is the first thing you noticed when you picked up the racket? This racket was a bit heavier than what I am used to playing with.
What did you like about the racket? Loves the way I was hitting my returns, loved it on my backhand and at the net.
What did you dislike about the racket? Little bit heavier than what I am used to playing with, so couldn’t serve as well and didn’t find as much spin as I would have liked on low balls.
Overall, how did it play? It was a great fundamental racket and was awesome for returning a fast serve. It was great for doubles play.
Compares to: Definitely an old school frame feel
What type of player do you think this racket is made for? Ie Baseliner, serve and volleyer, all courter, doubles player, etc.
This racket is for the doubles player looking for solid control at the net and loves to volley
Bottom line: I think a player like me should play with a racquet like this to ensure playing fundamental tennis. You are forced to use good technique and make sure you are playing the right shots since this racquet has a smaller head size and is quite heavy.
Comments: Liked it for my doubles game

For players that are starting off in this sport or for the ones that practice tennis for recreational reasons, the best choice for a Wilson tennis racquet would be one with a length greater than the standard 28 inches. This is because they will have more power of reach and they can increase their capacity for spinning.
