Wilson celebrates the French Open with this limited edition of the Shift 99
Wilson celebrates the French Open with this limited edition Shift 99. Boasting the same specs as the standard cosmetic version, this racquet features a beautiful dark blue colorway with red accents. Developed with extensive feedback from top coaches and elite players, the Shift 99 combines raw speed with spin-friendly precision and great feel. Under the hood, the Shift's graphite fibers have been meticulously engineered to help the racquet bend in ways that complement the vertical mechanics of the modern game (think spin). In addition to its impressive pocketing, the Shift's zippy swingweight makes it great for hitting shots on the run or reacting quickly at net. All in all, this is a great option for intermediate and advanced players who want a versatile modern player's racquet that doesn't skimp on feel. The French Open Cosmetic is a nice bonus.
Technical Note: According to Wilson, this racquet has been designed to be torsionally stiff (for added stability and power when driving the ball) and laterally flexible (for increased dwell time on vertical mechanics - think spin).
