Is it worth demoing?

Best for

Try it alongside the EZONE 100 and Pure Drive if you want your rally ball to travel deeper.

Think twice if

The lively response is less of a gift if your shots already land beyond the baseline.

Wilson UK specifications checked on 7 October 2026: 300 g unstrung, 100 sq in, 27 in, 16×19 and 32 cm unstrung balance. Wilson describes a Dual Taper Beam but the numeric taper field currently displays 0/0/0, so no beam number is inferred.

Alternatives worth demoing

Editorial shortlist based on published frame class and weight; compare on court.

Babolat

Pure Drive Gen11

A power-focused 300 g racket to compare if your normal rally balls land short.

£166.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: That lively response cuts both ways. If your shots already sail long, it can make depth harder to judge.

Babolat

Pure Drive 107 Gen11

A bigger 107 sq in head in a lighter 285 g frame, for players who want more room for error.

£169.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: The bigger head and slightly longer frame can feel a touch slower at the net. The listed length is 27.2 in, so check it on the exact model.

Head

Boom MP 2026

A power-focused Head racket, listed at 295 g with a 100 sq in head.

£157.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: Watch how steady it feels returning a big serve, especially when you catch it off-centre.

Strings and ownership

Use the manufacturer range above where it is published. Agree the material, thickness and starting tension with your stringer; there is no universal setup for this frame.

Buying used

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.

From published reviews

What reviewers say

These are other reviewers’ findings, not our own play tests. Their strings, tension and playing style may differ from yours.

An easy, well-rounded power frame, though opinions split on comfort and the open pattern lets strings move.

They liked

  • Easy power and depth
  • Quick handling
  • Predictable and well-rounded

Watch out for

  • Lots of string movement and quicker tension loss
  • Not the most precise frame for advanced players

Where they differ: Tennisnerd found it a touch more comfortable than rival power frames; several Tennis Warehouse testers called it deceptively firm.

Suits: Intermediate players after accessible power.
