Wilson Tennis Racket designed by DCI wins TENNIS Magazine Editors' Choice Award. ///
The following is an EXCERPT from the September 2004 Issue of TENNIS Magazine:
How It Tested:
Today's racquets are made of billions of woven graphite fibers that have
microscopic spaces between them. In the n5, Wilson fills these gaps with
silicone oxide crystals, claiming this process increases the frame's stability
and power as well as ensuring that the racquet will play better, longer.
We'll need more time to evaluate the last assertion — it can take up to two years
before the fibers in a typical racquet go "soft," causing a loss of control and
power — but we can say the n5 is a cut above the rest. Particularly impressive is
that it remains steady on mishits, compensating for poor technique. The
mid-plus was favored by aggressive baseliners, who hit out without losing control,
while the oversize was deemed by intermediate all-courters to be pretty much perfect.
The racquet also features a modified Triad construction. Instead of separating the
head and handle with a polymer in the throat, a design that some thought robbed
players of too much feel, the polymer is now just above the throat for more feedback.
Bottom Line: Excellent racquet at the baseline.
