INNOVATIONS
PADDLE TECHNOLOGIES
Wilson® paddle technology, engineered with basalt fibers for the
perfect feel.
Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with [K]arophite Black™ filtering
unwanted extreme frequency and delivering a clean feedback with better
sensation and the perfect feel.
PRO FOAM
Pro Foam: Introducing the highest density foam in the game today.
Solid hit with maximum control.
LITE FOAM
A scientific breakthrough in foam density. The Lite foam offers the most
responsive paddle shots with less weight. Better hits with less arm fatigue.
So play hard, play longer.
NO GRIT ZONE
TM
Unparalleled comfort meets unmatched technology. Wilson Killer Grit
Technology is a rough texture that’s added to the paddle surface for
extra bite. With the No Grit Zone, this rough texture is removed from the
bottom of the paddle leaving a smooth surface that keeps players from
experiencing discomfort in their fingers.
Cutting Edge Construction: Full composite outer rim construction
featuring Basalt Fibers for added paddle strength and soft feel on
every shot.
Smart Density: Smart Density utilizes two distinct EVA foam densities
in one paddle. Smart Density occurs when the paddle responds to the
speed of the ball hit on the paddle face. Your swing and impact can
generate more power as Smart Density responds. The Smart Density
core allows for more cushioned feel when needed.
Core Foam: Smart Density foam used in the paddle core has been
taken to the next level using [K]arophite Black™. This nanoscopic
level material helps control the voids in the foam providing a more
stable hit all around.
Killer Grit™ Technology: Wilson tripled the amount of grit on the paddle
surface of all of our paddles for increased control and feel of the ball.
Extra Bite.
Sharp Hole Technology: Advanced hole drilling process provides
increased bite on all hits.
Patented Bottle Opener Feature: Remember to drink responsibly,
have fun, and CHEERS!

PLATFORM BALLS WRT949600
SRP: $11.99
Here are three reasons to buy Wilson platform balls:
1) Wilson platform balls are engineered from a proprietary rubber compound and exclusive
epoxy sealant. They last longer than ordinary platform balls.
2) Wilson platform balls come in an affordable 2-pack. You warm up with two balls and
play with one ball. Why waste money buying three balls at a time?
3) More and more players are switching to Wilson platform balls every day (see reasons 1
and 2).
