Join Wilson For The Spin Effect Technology Tour

Wilson Racquet Sports today announced its nationwide “Spin Effect Tour” that will visit retailers and consumers in more than 200 venues, showcasing the brand’s game changing, Spin Effect Technology™. Taking place from February through June, the Spin Effect Tour targets avid tennis players at tennis facilities across the country and will also be featured at some of the country’s leading junior developmental programs: Brookhaven Tennis Club in Dallas, Westheimer Tennis Club in Houston, Sanlando Park Tennis Center in Orlando, and the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton.

Wilson’s proprietary Spin Effect Technology™ rackets became available to consumers in January featured in the Steam 99S™ and Steam 105S™, both dramatically increasing spin for consumers of all levels. It is the first racket system that enables players to add more than 200 RPM to their shots without needing to change their swing.

Wilson’s marketing and sales team will be leading the event to explain the benefits around the proprietary Spin Effect, the Steam S rackets, and they will also take players through the TrackMan experience which tracks ball rotation, height and arc of shots and was used in the development of Steam S rackets.

Players who participate in the Spin Effect Tour will also have an opportunity to win an autographed Roger Federer racket and Victoria Azarenka racket. The tour welcomes players of all ages.

Stop Motion Tennis

We’re s-s-switching it up in our latest video featuring Horia Tecau.  Check  out a day in the life of the pro player as he wakes up, steps into his Rush Pro’s and prepares for a day at the Australian Open – stop motion style.

Defending The Title

Wilson tour player and current WTA Tour world No. 1 Vika Azarenka repeats at the Australian Open, winning her 2nd consecutive women’s singles title defeating Li Na 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 Azarenka, playing with the Juice 100, continues her 48-week stay as number one.

“Winning for the second year in a row is incredible,” said Azarenka. “It’s the perfect way to start. I had the best year of my career in 2012 after switching to the Juice and it feels amazing to continue the good form and win another Slam.”

In an emotional match interrupted by fireworks for Australia Day, Azarenka gave it her all and fought hard to win the first set saving four set points. She came back from a set down and sealed her victory on her first match point in two hours and forty minutes. This win is a testament to Azarenka’s absolute ability to stay focused on winning.

 

In 2012, Azarenka reached her first final at the US Open, won two medals at the London Olympics, played in her second successive Wimbledon semifinal, and captured six trophies. She won her first Grand Slam title at Melbourne Park last year as part of a 26-match unbeaten run to start 2012.

“Vika is a champion and has showed us all what she is made of,” said Renaud Vallon, global tour director of Wilson Racquet Sports. “She works hard at her game and knows what it takes to win. Having her as part of the Wilson family is a great honor, as well as a perfect partnership.”

The Juice, designed to enhance power and spin for a wide range of player types and skill levels, has a lighter-weight, more forgiving modern frame design in mid-plus head sizes to provide more power and more spin. It has a unique, modern feel for both aggressive baselines and players looking for an ideal “all-around” racket choice.
