The Wilson Steam 99S is an all new specification for 2013, offering a versatile, very spin friendly 16x15 open string pattern that appeals to a wide array of players. Spin Effect Technology permits additional string movement, increasing the RPM of every shot! 24/22mm tapered beam design, spin oriented 16x15 string pattern, 11.3 oz. strung weight, and 99 square inch head for forgiveness. Continued use of Basalt fiber (BLX) technology for improved frame feedback, continuing to feature classic feel in the same tradition as the previous-generation BLX models. Ideal for the intermediate to advanced player who prefers a nice blend of pop but with the added spin and control from this new string pattern.
