Wilson Hammer Rival Stretch oversize 112 square inch head
Tennis Racket. This racket is marked as a demo but has never
been strung or used which is evidenced by the plastic shrink
wrap that is still on the handle. The oversize H Rival is a
stretch frame 27.5 inches long and weighs 8.9 ounces unstrung.
It has a 23.5/28/25 mm dual taper beam utilizing isogrid
technology with width where you need stability and power and a
thinner beam for feel and spin. It is a 100% Graphite
construction. This racket is balanced at 37 cm for more weight
through the hit.
The H-Rival comes
with the Wilson ProFeel shock absorber pictured. Recommended
String Tension is 53 to 63 lbs in this 16X20 design where I
recommend going down three lbs in the cross strings to equalize
pressure throughout the string bed.
The HRival has consistently tested at 71 or higher on my Babolat RDC machine which would put it towards the top regarding stiffness (power) of any racket being made today.
Reviews indicate it is very good for players who desire to hit the ball hard with a lot of spin. Although the oversize version has a lot of power for depth on your ground strokes, the tapered head makes it easier to hit angled passing shotsString special: Wilson Sensation Test (Compare $25 value) string installed for $23
