Overview
Released in 2008, the Wilson Energy Tennis Racket has become a top seller due to its easy-to-use features and reasonable price. Manufactured by one of the most recognizable names in sports equipment, this racket is suited for the novice tennis player but is also used by some players who prefer a larger, lighter racket.
Function
The Wilson Energy tennis racket was designed more for beginning recreational players than for advanced players. The broad, light-weight yet sturdy racket is intended to facilitate a fun and easy game and improved performance. Its "Soft Shock" technology is designed to reduce vibration. The Energy is also considered to have a larger-than-usual "sweet spot," or ideal hitting zone.
Identification
This racket is easily identifiable with its black and yellow titanium alloy frame, black grip and trademark Wilson "W" in red in the center of the strings.
Size
The Energy Racket is an oversize variety, 27 inches long with a 110-square-inch head; it weighs 9.9 ounces. This racket model comes in three grip sizes: 4 1/4 inches, 4 1/2 inches, or 4 3/8 inches.
Wilson designed the Energy as a "C-beam" (which stands for "constant beam") racket, meaning that the frame's width remains the same throughout the entire perimeter of the racket head.
Considerations
Wilson's Energy Racket, on the lower end of the price spectrum, does not come with a protective case as many of the brand's comparably priced rackets do. Although this racket does not come with a vibration dampener, the Soft Shock technology is designed to reduce vibration, and dampeners may be purchased cheap from most pro shops.
Benefits
Overall, this is an easy-to-use piece of equipment suited for beginners or children because of its light weight and abundant head surface. Its Soft Shock technology makes the racket easy to handle and allows for a comfortable swing.
The Wilson Energy Racket can be found at numerous retailers such as Target, WalMart, and Kmart, in addition to online sources.
