Wilson Sporting Goods Company truly began when Jack Kramer, also known as the Father of Modern Tennis, joined the advisory staff. Kramer was truly the first world class professional tennis player. He was the number one tennis player for a number of years in the 1940 and also a promoter of the professional tennis tour. One of the first alliances between a professional tennis player and a tennis manufacturer yielded the Kramer Autograph Racquet in 1949 and this racquet ultimately brought Wilson to the forefront of the industry.
The tennis racquet itself was beautifully and carefully designed using the most modern technology and the highest quality materials. Nowadays, high quality tennis racquets associated with the professional tour players are somewhat commonplace, but this relationship and this leap forward in tennis racquet technology were truly revolutionary in their time.
In today's market, Wilson tennis rackets are associated with incredible professional tennis players including Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams and Jarkko Nieminen. While Nieminen and Federer's choice is among the well reviewed, high powered nSix-One series, the William's sisters both have signature racquets from the Wilson W racquet series for women.
Roger Federer uses the Wilson nSix-One 90, well known for its strength and stability against for stroke power and for defensive maneuvers against hard hitting opponents across the court. Additionally, the nSix One series makes use of nano-technology yielding a 20 % stronger and more powerful frame. In traditional carbon fiber tennis racquets, spaces between the fibers may lead to weakness or warping with constant hard use, while racquets that use nano technology fill in the spaces between the fibers making the tennis racquet signifigantly more resilient.
Jarkko Nieminen and Novak Djokovic use the nSix-One 95, from the same family is the nSix-One 90, but with different strengths. This racquet is designed to be well suited to more of an all-court style of play offering a strong frame, combined with stability and power. The nSix-One 95 has a traditional head light balance and a silicone construction with the added strength and resiliency offered by nano technology. This racquet also has specific play strengths, suited to a player who likes to execute a heavy slice on serve or off the ground. The tighter stringbed makes all the difference giving more control and a firmer feel.
The W line was developed specifically for women, but makes use of all of the nCode technology. Venus Williams, for instance, uses the W5 Divine Iris, which is relatively new to the market, debuting in July of 2006. The racquet truly combines the artistry that is signature Venus, with the power and technology of Wilson and nCode technology. The W5 Divine Iris is specifically known for top level stability, strength and power and is suitable for all levels of play and on most court surfaces.
Serena Williams also plays with a Wilson W racquet, the new W3 Gypsy Rose. The racquet is designed again, to be appropriate for varied players and surfaces, made with a silicone-and-carbon construction and chic, colorful design, this is the kind of racquet that can help you play to a higher level and look good doing it.
One of the best features of the W Line is the implementation of Wilson Triad technology which is focused on vibration reduction in racquets known for hard hitting power. They make for a more comfortable, tough hitting game. Specifically, the Triad technology related to the three separate pieces of the racquet affected by the implementation of the technology - the head, the handle and finally a thin layer of "Iso-Zorb", which is similar to a shoe insole substantially reducing vibration from the head and neck of the racquet, by upwards of 60 percent.
As you can see, Wilson racquets have come a long way since Jack Kramer advised them on their ground breaking Kramer Autograph tennis racquet. Wilson remains a cutting edge manufacturer of high quality tennis equipment and racquets.
