Overview
Introducing Wilson's Project Shift 99 315! Like the lighter version, this prototype is being offered in limited quantities before its full cosmetic release this summer. Featuring a 99 square inch head and a tight 18x20 string pattern, the Shift 99 315 delivers a controlled, laser-like trajectory on groundies along with great touch at net. It also packs enough mass to comfortably redirect higher levels of pace, with plenty of pop available to those who can leverage its mass. As with the 300g version, this racquet's graphite fibers have been engineered to help the frame bend in ways that compliment the modern game. Ultimately, the Shift 99 315g not only delivers a comfortable feel with great ball feedback, it also packs enough precision to target the lines. The cool prototype cosmetic makes it a nice collectors item.
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).
Grading Scale
Unused
Racquet has not been hit with but may have minor cosmetic defects. May or may not have been strung.
Grade A - Excellent
It exhibits very little use; wear is evident on grip and grommets only. May have minor paint defects.
Grade B - Great
It has been used and shows some minor cosmetic wear on the frame. Does not exhibit wear from play that exposes graphite. Frame is not damaged from strings as a result of poor grommet care.
Grade C - Good
Exhibits clear wear from groundstrokes in multiple places on the frame. May have paint chips and/or may have a very small amount of graphite exposed from play.
