FAQs

What type of player is this racket best for?

The Wilson Shift 99 Pro V1 is best for experienced players who seek enhanced spin and control and prefer a medium-heavyweight frame.

What string tension is recommended?

String tension depends on your playing style. A tension between 50-60 lbs is a good starting point, but experiment to find what suits you best.

How do I choose the right grip size?

Measure from the tip of your ring finger to the palm crease, then consult a grip size chart. Alternatively, hold the racket and ensure there's a finger's width of space between your fingers and thumb.

How often should I restring my racket?

Restring every 20-30 hours of play, or when the strings lose tension and feel.

What is ARC 3D technology?

ARC 3D is a patent-pending technology utilizing specific geometry to maximize lateral bending without losing torsional stability.

What materials are used in the racket?

The end-cap and bumper are composed of Agiplast, plant-based materials.

How do I care for my Wilson Shift 99 Pro V1?

Store it in a dry place, wipe it down after use, and check the strings for wear. Regularly inspect the grommets.

Troubleshooting

Check your string tension and playing style. Consider using a more durable string or adjusting your technique to reduce string friction. Inspect grommets for damage.

Adjust your string tension. Practice technique and focus on hitting the sweet spot. Consider consulting a coach.
