Wilson had previously developed the innovative Triad tennis racket line, which delivers power, control and comfort without compromise. The challenge that Wilson recognized was their superior technology lacked visual appeal at the point-of-purchase.

The new designs deliver more power, a more active string bed and a larger sweet spot. These innovations directly enhance the user experience.
