2014 WILSON Technology training (rackets, footwear & apparell)

2014TECHNOLOGY TRAININGRACKETS, FOOTWEAR & APPAREL

Since 1914, Wilson has shared in more winning moments than any other company in sports. 61 Majors. 48 Super Bowls.

20 Final Fours. 93 World Series Championships. And over 500 Grand Slams. But that was never the goal. It’s the result

of sharing countless hours with the world’s best athletes before they ever hit the big stage. The late nights. The early

mornings. The all-day camps. The blisters and aches. Where serves are perfected and backhands turn into winners.

One day a racket looks like new and the next it’s scu�ed and stained with sweat and a love for the game. That’s where

championships are forged on empty courts where no one is watching. It’s that kind of commitment we share with every

athlete who plays the game. And it’s our promise to every future champion. Today marks a new century of sport.

Innovation is more than a statement at Wilson. It is our obsession with product performance. Our drive is to elevate design and pursue breakthrough technologies that

enhance athlete performance at every level.

Performance is about confidence, the confidence we want every player to have in Wilson — whether you’re new to the

sport or going after your next Grand Slam. The feel, the quality, the seamless integration of technology and design.

Passion fuels our inspiration. We are inspired by the millions of players we have supported, the tireless grassroots efforts,

the love of tennis we share with each player.

History is not about our past, it is about our 100 years of experience. 500 Grand Slams and counting was never a goal. It is the result of our Innovation, Performance and Passion for

the sport. It is the result of countless hours with athletes. The late nights. The early mornings. The blisters and the aches.

Join us to build your history in tennis.

Wilson Spin Effect rackets can add over 200 RPM’s of rotation on every shot. This extra spin gives 2 inches more net clearance and allows the ball to drop quicker, giving players 12 inches more margin for error.

With Spin Effect, balls no longer hit the net or fly past the baseline. Experience the ultimate in performance with the most progressive technology in the game.

* Based on 2011-12 Wilson static laboratory tests using high-speed video to measure string displacement and movement in 16x15 pattern vs. conventional 16x18 or 18x20 pattern.

Spin Effect is our key technology for 2014 and can now be found in each racket family as we continue to share the benefits of playing with spin.

FOOTWEAR INNOVATIONS


WOMEN’S SPECIFIC SUPPORT (WSS)

Research has shown that women require more internal support in their shoe (than men) due to bio-mechanical differences in their feet. With the competitive female player in mind, we engineered our new Women Specific Support construction that will deliver the enhanced support and stability that women need. Our new WSS is achieved through an asymmetrical and elongated medial side TPU heel counter and a dual density molded sock liner. The new WSS inner structure innovation helps to hold the heel in position while providing added support through the midfoot area.

NEW IN 2014: CLASSIC AND ATHLETIC FIT FOR WOMENOne fit does not serve all women. With the female player in mind, we developed clothing styles with either a fitted (athletic) orsemi-fitted (classic) design to meet every player’s fit preferences. Both the classic and athletic styles are based on the same standard size, but they offer a different fit experience. Look for the FIT icon on the hangtag to help you identify the style’s fit.

ATHLETIC FITThe athletic fit hugs the body and offers a form fitting feel. A lower neckline and thinner straps provide a sporty look.

CLASSIC FIT

The Classic fit is looser in fit and offers more coverage. A higher neckline and wider straps provide added support and give a stylish and modern look.
