The Shift 99L is ideal for intermediate to advanced, all-around players who prefer a slightly lighter frame.
The headsize at 99 square inches provides a blend of control and power with a forgiving feel. Coupled with the headsize, the open string pattern has a lively feel with easier access to spin. The weight being slightly lighter than average at 10.1 ounces (unstrung) favours enhanced maneuverability granting easier general movement for comfortable net-play, serves and quick returns. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys or being able to swing fast for greater spin generation.
The Shift 99L has an innovative string pattern and bending profile built to be stable, yet laterally flexible for controllable power and devastating spin. A first of its kind, the Shift V1 collection was built and refined via player feedback from all over the world. Add in the plant-based materials used throughout the end cap and bumper, this racquet will bring your game to the next level. Achieve the ultimate combination of spin and power with the Wilson Shift 99L V1 Tennis Racquet.
