A Must Have! (5/5) Aug 22, 2008 Marc Sydney NSW AU
  Must for all 'serious' players from intermediates - advanced and even beginners alike. You will learn proper stroke mechanics once you get used to its weight which will benefit in managing heavily paced balls, generating own heavy balls and at the same time controlling it with such a precision instrument. I dont see why people are intimidated with the weight as the greats at a young age like agassi, sampras began with 13oz+. This racquet is only 12oz. Those who can't handle it need adjust their technique before it hurts them in the future - this racquet helps you play better! Definately less stiff and improvement to the n90. Get them before its replaced. I'm stocking up.
BACK TO BASICS - XCELNT (5/5) Jul 3, 2008 Merv (Steve Cacchia) Bexley NSW AU
  An excellent racquet from the word GO. With amazing feel, power and control of the ball. Also as Tony indicated below it is widely informed that its not a racquet for the average social player, the racquet is rated level 5 and above for good reason. This racquet goes back to basics in that its a narrow frame and has a 90cm head (5mm larger than its predecessor). The standard size head and frame means you need good hand/eye coordination to hit sweet balls. A low B grade or 4.5 player myself this racquet has improved my game immensely. Stick with it, persistence will pay off...
Unless your Federer, dont buy it (1/5) Mar 29, 2008 Tony Sydenham Vic AU
  I demoed this racket today and I was actually disapointed with the performance both in feel, control and power. It did indeed feel dead with not much of a sweet spot. Like most reviewers inform, this racquet is not for the average player and can even test some advanced players.
SIMPY THE BEST!!! (5/5) Mar 17, 2008 Peter Sakoulas Brisbane QLD AU
  Fantastic from the word go!!! Pin Point accuracy from anywhere on the court!!! I demoed the racquet from TWA (great demo program available), and I fell in love. Amazing control and just the right swing weight, I love the weight in this stick as it suits my game to a tee. Great at the net and approach shots are a breeze. I am agree with this stick being one for single handed players, my single handed backhand has improved, along with the consistency of my serve. Only good things to say about this stick, if you want the greatest Wilson player's racquet ever made.....BUY IT!!!

Awesome (5/5) Mar 9, 2008 JAMES WOLLONGONG NSW AU

Awesome (5/5) Mar 5, 2008 Vijay Shan Sydney NSW AU
  This is the best raquet for those with long fast one handed swings on their groundstrokes. There is such superior control with this raquet I found myself doing shots I was unable to do with other raquets - serves,volleys, and groundstrokes. But it is only recommended to those with long fast swings and good hand/eye co-ordination. I have finally found the raquet thats best for my game, that allows me to play my best game.
This racket is amazing (5/5) Mar 2, 2008 Andy Scott Mornington Vic AU
  I bought this racket a week ago and it's the best racket I've ever used. My previous racket was the babolat pure drive roddick, this racket is able to generate a lot of face due to its heavier frame, you can get amazing spin with this racket as well. This racket is a great serving racket it takes slice very well and is great at kick serves. Volleys with this racket are precise and deep you would think with a 90 square inch head it would be hard to volley with but this is quite the opposite it is very easy to volley with and your volleys will be much better than they used to be with this racket.
SHOCKING (1/5) Nov 21, 2007 Bob Melbourne Vic AU
  This frame is dead, inferior to Rogers old racquet in every way, do not waste your money on this.
What a racquet (5/5) Sep 16, 2007 William Vic AU
  This racquet is the best racquet I've ever seen. It's so soft and nice.
[K]rap-factor? hardly... (4/5) Jul 7, 2007 Tony Melbourne VIC AU
  This racquet offers a great amount of control and stability. The "plow through" offered by the heavier frame offers a very solid strike on groundies and makes returns on serve that much easier. There is a good amount of spin provided by the 16x19 pattern and benefits can be seen for those with full swings.

As it's 12 pts headlight unstrung, I can honestly say the weight has not been an issue (for me). One of my main concerns was whether the racquet would be cumbersome especially after playing for a couple of hours. I was surprised to find that this was not the case. I've also heard many arguments that the 90 sq. inch head is too difficult to use, but found this did not cause any huge issues provided the right amount of concentration is maintained throughout a match. This racquet serves well and volleys great as well.

I essentially think it comes down to whether a heavier control oriented racquet suits your game.. if so, then this at the very least it is worth a demo.
