Wilson Shift 99 Pro V1 Unstrung Performance Tennis Rackets - Arctic Ice

Wilson Shift 99 Pro V1 Unstrung Performance Tennis Racket – Arctic Ice

The Wilson Shift 99 Pro V1 is the heaviest and most control-oriented model in the Shift lineup. While the rest of the series focuses on a more open string pattern for pure spin, the Pro version is designed for advanced competitors who need the extra mass and precision of a dense string bed to manage their power.

The "Arctic Ice" (or Arctic Prism) designation refers to the distinctive pearlescent, color-shifting finish that characterizes the V1 collection.

Player Profile

1. The Avid Competitor: Designed for players who have established technique and the strength to maneuver a 315g (unstrung) frame.
2. Control Seekers: Ideal for those who found the standard Shift 99 (16x20) a bit too "launchy" or inconsistent in depth control.
3. The "Heavy" Game: Best suited for players who hit a heavy ball from the baseline and want a frame that feels stable on volleys and return of serves.

Summary of the "Arctic Ice" Design

The aesthetic is a "clean" Arctic-prism design. Under different lighting conditions, the white/silver frame exhibits subtle color shifts, giving it a high-tech, premium look that matches its innovative internal tech.
