Updated with a friendlier feel for 2025, the Ultra 100UL v5 provides the perfect entry point into speed, power, and spin of the Ultra franchise. Defined by its light weight and user-friendly maneuverability, this racquet is perfect for mastering groundstrokes and volleys. For 2025, in addition to tightening spec tolerances and softening the feel, Wilson refines its innovative FORTYFIVE layup technology, enabling greater vertical flex for added spin potential and pocketing. Additional technologies include Crush Zone Grommets, which compress at impact to increase dwell time and further enhance comfort. The Ultra 100UL also features a full carbon handle for enhanced torsional stability (think less frame wobble on off-center impact). Ultimately, with some nice updates to the feel, this update checks all the right boxes. Rising players looking for an easier path to the next level should start here.
