Comments: I am in love with this racquet. I’m planning on buying a lot more sometime soon I already have 2. I feel in control with this racquet. Some people say they don’t serve well with it but I think my serve has most definitely improved.

Comments: Hi all, Coming from the T3, I am amazed in the difference in the two racquets. I assumed they would have a similar play and feel. The n3 is worlds above the T3 in every aspect. Greater pace on the serve and because you can really rip through the ball at contact, you can impart much more top spin. The one down side is that the n3 takes some getting used to, whereas the T3 you can pick and play easily. I have a question for this forum. The ball comes off the n3 very pingy and when you open your shoulders, is very hard to control. Can someone recommend a string or type of string and tension?

Comments: This is a great racquet. It doesn't give you as much power as you would think, but it still has the extra power if you need it. It also gave me loads of topspin on my forehand. It didn't really help my serve that much though. I wouldn't advise this racquet for hard hitters like me though. I was only able to use this racquet because I usually generate a lot of topspin on any racquet. So if you like to rip at the ball be careful because this racquet might be to powerful for you.

Comments: I love this racquet. Not only because it was used by Serena at one time, but at how powerful all of my shots are. The spin potential is like no other and it definitely does not feel as head heavy as its put up to be. I recommend the racquet for anyone wanting to add some serious power and spin into there game, but in a controlled package. Has just a little more pop then the n4 OS.

Comments: I was a beginner when I started using this racket. I have been using for the past year now. I love this racket's awesome power but sometimes it over powers. The triad technology combined with nCode creates a very nice feel when hitting the ball. At the net this racket has a nice pop and deep volleys. My groundstrokes are more consistent and my serve has improved. Overall this racket contributed a lot to my early stage of the game. Suitable for people looking for a racket that has power over control.

Comments:I love this racquet! When I saw my favorite player win her 7th slam with this racquet, I knew I had to try it. It is very powerful and it took some getting used to, but EVERY aspect of my game is better with this racquet. I have one, but when the price goes down, I'll be first in line to get a few more! This is a GREAT buy!

Comments: Before I bought this N3 a few weeks ago, I got a chance to play the demo. It was great, more powerful and much deeper. After I got my new racquet for 2 days, I played a friendly match for 4 sets, I could perform perfect groundstrokes from the baseline with much power. Especially my backhand slice landed much deeper and lower than expected. I've also hit few good passing shoots. I just love it.

Comments: First of all, I am a 15-year-old high school varsity player and I must say that this racket is just phenomenal. I did not need the extra power, but it sure added it. It just feels so natural for me using this racket. I just recently transferred from a Wilson Hyper Hammer 6.2 and I was a little unsure about what racket I should purchase due to the wide array of rackets out there these days. Knowing that Serena Williams (my favorite female tennis player) uses this racket added a bit of comfort to me purchasing it. I absolutely adore this racket. Despite its large size, it has a great amount of control. Once, the price lowers a little I'll probably end up buying 2 or 3 in addition to the one I have now. For anyone who is looking for a powerful racket with a control I deeply recommend this racket.

Comments: I'm a 16-year-old, up-and-coming pro player in the states and I demoed this racquet not long ago and found it to be less than satisfactory. Even with various strings and string tension combinations, I couldn't gain any control with this racquet -- it has power, but no real stability.
I wouldn't advise anyone with powerful groundstrokes to use this racquet, it doesn't give you enough stick on your shots. I think Serena Williams would be better off using a racquet with more control.

Comments: This racket is just the best it makes my serve just fly and all my shots too. With my old racket (babolat pure drive) I used to have a problem with my back hand and my wrist used to ache after I had played a game but now with the wilson n3 it has inproved a lot.
From: Chris Sanderson, New Zealand 11/05

Comments: This is a great racquet. I didn't need the extra power, but it gave me more juice when I wanted it. It also allows me to add plenty of top spin when I want it and slap the heck out of the ball as well. It does wonders with the serve. I love this racquet.

Comments:This racquet is great! I have wrist problems, which the n5 exacerbated and the n3 does not. My volleys have improved exponentially with this racuqet. For the first 3 weeks I was overhitting my groundstrokes, but have adjusted with a shorter backswing and am now loving it.

Comments:I bought this racquet a few weeks ago because I needed something new and my favorite tennis players use NCODE racquets. 2 well known sisters - can you guess? Lol. Anyway, after playing with the racquet I have found that groundstrokes are very powerful and accurate from wherever you are in the court. For net play the racquet is also very responsive through its large head size and sweet spot. My only gripe with the racquet is serving. It has taken a long time for me to feel comfortable serving with this racquet. The good thing about it is the ball usually reaches the back of the service line, but a litle too much over hitting and the ball will sail out. I also can't find a rythm on my serves either but I'm sure it will come in time. Overall I'm really pleased with the racquet.

Comments:I used a demo n3 back in December 04 and haven't stopped thinking about it. I'm just a recreational player, so the price is a deterent. I mostly play doubles (shorter swings, volleys) and maybe this is why it feels good to me. I also noticed better control with my serve. The more I played with it, the faster and more accurate my serve became. And that was only after a few matches. I'm sold!

Comments:This is the best racquet on the market!!! I broke my finger a year ago and didn't think I could play tennis again. But, I decided to buy this racquet because I read many reviews that said how this racquet and the n5 were the top two racquets out there. So I went with this one because I thought it best suited my for my short swing. It's GREAT!! My finger doesn't hurt and I have a great blend of power and control. I would defintitely recommend this racquet!

Comments: This is a fantastic racquet. It lived up to, and even exceeded my expectations. Lots of power and control too. Sometimes if one is not careful one tends to over-hit the ball. It takes a little "getting into" in order to handle the tremendous power that this racquet gives. Great product. Just waiting 'till the price goes down somewhat, in order to purchase about 2 or 3 of them.

Comments:This racquet saved my tennis. I have been suffering from tennis elbow for a long time having treatment and was also advised to stop playing tennis. I looked for an "arm friendly" racquet and tested the N3. Yes it has few bugs but it felt good. I took it on three months ago. The tennis elbow is gone. I play for hours 3 times a week and compete on the weekend at district and state level. I have no pain following practices or matches. This racquet saved my game.

Comments: I loved this racquet from the get go. After reading up on it, I was happy to see that our tennis pro had one I could demo. Within 5 minutes of hitting, it felt like home. In one hour of practice time, I hit the long ball, volleyed, served, hit overheads - you name it. Sweet! My next venture out with it, I played in a match and was that much more consistent in my serves and especially power. I hesitate to try new racquets, especially when I have one that works so well (Wilson HyperHammer 6.0). I walked off the court and asked my pro to string me up a new one right on the spot. I'm glad I read the reviews - piqued my curiosity enough to try the nCode 3. Run, don't walk! This is a must demo!

Comments: This racquet has surprising control, especially for a large power racquet. The moment I started using it noticed I had much more control than my old Dunlop racquet. The power of the N3 is not as much as you think and I'd rate it at an 8 on a scale of 1-10. The weight is end loaded or "head heavy" which allows you to drive through the ball better and give more stability on the volleys. It is an enormous looking racquet for sure and you may get harassed for using it if you're a 4.5 or above player, but if Serena Williams uses it, it can't be all that bad. The only bad thing I can say about it is it makes a funny sound when hitting. Nothing like normal racquet sounds but you'll get used to it. It also is quite pricey. I like the racquet overall.

Comments: I would have to say that this is one of the best racquets out there. I was only playing with it for a few games until my whole game started to really fire up. A nice short swing for this racquet is key and theis racquet allows you to play with some definite spin. The control on this racquet very good along with its hitting power. I would highly recommend this racquet to any one who loves the game and is a good player. I am a 4.5 level and this racquet suits me.

Comments: First, let me say that there will always be differences of opinions on tennis racquets. One player's trash may be another's treasure, so to speak. For me, this is the best racquet I have ever had (had been playing with the discontinued Prince Triple Threat Grande for several years). I tend to serve and volley, and have never hit better volleys until this racquet came along. This racquet allows good spin on the serve and off the ground. If you have a long, loopy swing, this may not be the racquet for you, because it is fairly powerful. Big hitters will have to tame their shots with spin or shorten their strokes. I am a 40-year-old male, rated 4.0, and I play two to three times a week. The racquet is expensive, so you should at least test drive a demo before you buy.
