The Park Tennis Take
The Park Tennis Take
Years ago, a friend asked me for a fifty-dollar racquet. I recommended the forgiving Wilson Ultra, then admitted I owned Federer's Pro Staff because I thought it might make me play like him. It did not. The racquet had the rude habit of being exactly what it said it was. The Ultra 100 V5 is the grown-up version of that original advice: performance equipment with useful depth, quick handling, and room for a normal rally. Buy the racquet for the player you are on Tuesday. Federer has already been taken.

Intermediate players, confident returners, and improving adults who want easy depth, quick handling, and a current 300-gram performance frame without the demands of a control-first racquet.

Description
The Wilson Ultra 100 V5 is the standard 300-gram model in Wilson's current power lineup. It combines a 100-square-inch head, 16x19 pattern, 27-inch length, and 32-centimeter unstrung balance. Wilson's V5 update uses SI3D, FORTYFIVE, Crush Zone grommets, and a dual-taper beam to preserve the Ultra's easy depth while adding more pocketing and a slightly softer laboratory flex than V4.
