Wilson Defyer 98 Pro

Wilson Defyer 98 Pro - available now. One of the most teased frames from Wilson in a long time. See why the pros are switching to the new Defyer. As the most control-oriented member of the Defyer family, this speedy and spin-friendly weapon delivers impressive command over the ball. Introducing the Defyer 98 Pro! Ideal for intermediate and advanced players, this 11.4 ounce racquet comes around fast. It also features the smallest head size and tightest string pattern in the Defyer family, giving it a tad more precision than the other models, which translates into impressive command over the ball. Although engineered for spin, the 98 Pro delivers a slightly lower launch angle than the other models, which bodes well for those who like driving the ball through the court. Under the hood, the Defyer 98 benefits from Wilson's revolutionary bending technology, creating a flex profile that rewards sharply angled swings with greater pocketing and ball rotation. It also comes with an Airfoil Bumper that reduces wind drag for easier acceleration. Factor in the speedy, sub-320 swingweight, and you have the recipe for near effortless spin. Additional features include a Torque Shaft that reduces frame flutter and dead zones on off-center impact (think big sweetspot). The 98 Pro also comes with Wilson's Direct Connect handle technology, which produces a more connected feel through impact. Although this stick plays great in stock form, it makes a great customization platform for those seeking added stability and mass-based pop. Ultimately, Wilson has produced an impressive option for experienced players, one that combines raw speed and spin-friendly targeting with enough precision to swing big and target the lines.
