Wilson Labs Project Shift 99 (300g)
I would recommend the Wilson Shift 99 (300 g) to players:
- of an intermediate or advanced level, not for beginners,
- who want a racket with intermediate power,
- with any game style but rather modern game style, with power and topspin, no need to be extremely powerful to play with this racquet,
- players with a lot of power may be interested in the Wilson Shift 315 g, that has a tighter string pattern 18x20 that will give more control and also a bit less access to topspin
- who want good access to topspin, without being extreme,
- who are looking for a racket with very good maneuverability,
- a good level of comfort, slight feeling of firmness on impact,
- who appreciate the Wilson racquets but who lack power with the Blade/Pro Staff and who have too much power with the Clash, Ultra or the Burn or simply who don’t like the feeling with the Clash.
Thanks for the reviews in English.. you are the best reviewer on the Web.. your approach is solid.. very detailed and paints a perfect picture..no BS.. plus your tennis skill is professional grade... Thanks Man..
Thanks for this nice comment, good for the motivation 🙏
Clear and easy to understand as always, thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks for your nice comment
Excellent review as always!! This racket will come to my country in 100 years. Saludos desde Argentina!
Haha thank you. Well, even if it comes in a long time, I guess there are other good racquets already available where you are.
You have some of the BEST reviews on TH-cam!
I’ll give the Shift a try after the the official release later this year.
Currently playing with Blade 98 and Blade 100. Both with lead tape added at 12:00 for more plow through. Interested to see what the Shift has to offer in terms of a touch more top spin and power.
Thank you. Yes I think you'll have more top spin and power, maybe comfort also.
JP love your reviews. The audio is worse. Sounds like this was recorded through Zoom. I saw someone else mention choppy and I agree. The microphone is probably better, but however it is being processed has affected the quality.
Thank you ! Last time I publish with that audio quality, I'll find a way to improve that.
Fantastic review! And your one handed backhand is silky smooth. Ha wish I could hit it like that. I alternate between the Clash 100 pro V1 and the Ultra 100 V4. Sometimes the Ultra is too powerful and stiff and sometimes the clash bends too much and feels like a wet noodle and the response is unpredictable. Maybe this is the perfect “Goldilocks” between those two. Can’t seem to find a demo of this available in the USA as of yet, unfortunately.
Thank you ! Yes, the shift can find its place between the Clash and the Ultra in terms of stiffness.
Great review JP. Very interesting from WIlson.
The audio is really bad though.
Thank you. Yes serious problem with audio, I'll fix that.
How would you compare this to the Babolat Pure Aero 98? Thanks for your review!
Well it's not very far, I think I could have added the PA98 for similar racquets. PA98 maybe a bit better for topspin but it's rather close. Shift a bit lighter, a bit easier.
Great review as always. Very intrigued to try a 99 racket
Thanks. Interesting intermediate power racquet, just a bit control oriented.
Thanks for the review. The sound of your mic isn't the best. Camera is fine. Anyway I have a question. Between the Clash 100 and this new Shift which one would u recommend for an intermediate player that lacks in power but is looking for comfort.
Thank you. Yes the sound is awful, should be solved for the next one. If your primary goal is comfort, I'd say Clash definitely. If you want more classical feelings and maybe a bit more power, Shift. The Clash is not very powerful, you should test it.
Outstanding review, as always.
Thank you !
Great review as always.
thank you !
Le son is degueu, mais le fait de mettre une petite fenetre où on te voit parler while practicing at the same time, is a very good idea!
I'll improve that shi**y sound !
Sound is a bit echoey and choppy. Fantastic job, nonetheless! Always appreciate your efforts.
I hate the sound, I'll improve that ! Thank you for your comment.
Jean Pierre: I’m testing both the Shift 300 and the VCore 100…. The VCore just doesn’t feel right, maybe a nit head heavy , not sure… will send it back and keep the Shift. I do not produce fast racquet head speed in my strokes and serve; I’d say medium. Do you think rackets like the VCore require that you produce fast racquet head speed… and would lighter frames be better for me. Ciao, John
I haven't tested the VCore 100 2023 yet. I have the previous version and indeed it's a bit harder to swing than the Shift 300. I think the vcore 100 is average and the Shift 300 is particularly easy to swing. I like the Shift.
Nice review JP, merci beaucoup. As a user of the Pure Aero 2019 who wants less power, more control, better feel and same level of stability, would you say the Shift 300g could work? Alternatively, I could also get my hands on the 2019 Yonex Vcore 100 that you played some time with and a Blade 100 V8 300g. What would you recommend?
Thanks ! You could see the Pure Aero 2023, the Shift indeed or the Vcore 100 I find more comfortable. Blade 100 I've never tested. Less top spin oriented. I would discard that one. Maybe the Dunlop SX 300.
As someone who plays with Wilson Blade 98 (18x20) 305g 2013 Amplifeel - I have no idea if the Shift will be an upgrade since they never sent any prototypes to South Africa. Very hesitant to make a switch as it would require extensive testing.
Yes testing would be nice. I can tell you that with the Shift you'll have more easy power and access to top spin. Easier to swing also.
Jean-Pierre: I strung my Shift 300 with VS Gut 16 in Mains at 52 lbs; rpm blast 17 in crosses at 49 lbs. I played a set… at first I was getting a pinging sound( don’t like), so I put on a dampener. Racket felt a little stiff; string bed didn’t pocket much, but maybe the strings need work. This is the lowest I have ever strung a racket. I am willing to try lower tensions; however, I don’t want pinging sound, and I would like to use gut… is it wise to use gut at lower tensions?.. ciao, John
There's no problem as long as your feelings are fine. It does not seem to be the case.. Try another setup, maybe a soft poly.
JP interesting why the 300g is 16/20 string set up and 315g is 18/20 Can you really tell the difference ?
My opinion that separates you from other raquet reviewers is your footwork and crisp volleys.
18x20 will be clearly less powerful and will give less access to top spin. The 315 version is cleary more control oriented.
You forget my "Gasquet like" one handed backhand 😀 Gasquet when he was 14 y old 😀
Perfect JP
Thank you 🙂
Jean-Pierre… Your backhand parfait!!! You have recommended this racket for my consideration. Can you hit flat and touch?Is the Shift 300 good for the one-hander? Do you like the shift more than the clash?
Thank you ! Flat and touch I'd say yes. Ok for one hander. I prefer to the Clash not in terms of comfort even if it's correct but it's heavier and feels more solid than the Clash 100 295 g I have. That's why. I prefer a bit the feeling at impact with a ball less absorbed than the Clash.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 Thank You, Jean-Pierre, all the best to you. Keep your videos coming… they are great!🎾🎾🎾
Hi, how do you compare this racket to Babolat Pure Drive? Thanks...
Less powerful, a bit less stiff, a bit easier to swing.
What's your racquet/string of choice?
Currently the Prince Tour 100P, I don't care much about the strings as long as the tension is rather low around 44 lbs. I'm going to test a few multifilaments to increase comfort.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 The new one or some old gen? Do you have a review of this one?
The previous gen. I have reviews of both the previous and current on my french and english channel.
Hi jean pierre, what is your current racquet?
Prince Tour 100P
Question perso JP. Pourquoi avec ttes tes connaissances du tennis mais surtout de ton niveau technique et meme physique tu ne te lances sur le circuit pro atp en debutant par les itf futures ? Tu as avec un entraînement au prealable toutes tes chances d en gagner un et enchainer sur un challenger.C est mon avis.Sinon ce que tu fais c est parfait.
J'ai pensé à essayer l'ITF seniors mais mon physique n'est pas si bon que ça, j'ai pas mal de blessures. Après, mon service est un sérieux point faible en match, ça m'a toujours beaucoup pénalisé. Je vais peut-être rejouer un peu en compet au printemps si le physique est là, je vais voir.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 fais un peu de muscu pour les cuisses et les bras ne prends pas alcaraz comme reference😂bien sur mais qd meme 5kgs de muscles et futures ttes categories mon gars😂 pourquoi seniors tu peux en descendre plus d un des ptits jeunes.le souffle cardio ca va sinon ?
@@TomRipley379 C'est sympa mais je ne suis absolument pas au niveau, je dois jouer début de seconde série à tout casser.
@@TeamTennisfr mais si mais si JP tes un bon je t assure tu t y connais vachement ne me dis pas que hugo gaston avec ses amorties ou meme Paire qui est qd meme 250e atp ils sont pas mieux que toi
dam his one hander is $$$$$$
If only I had a serve and forehand of the same level
How does it compare to the Prestige MP L?
Maybe a bit more powerful, a bit more access to topspin, a bit less comfortable.
the sound is bad (degueu)
Yes, I don't know what's wrong with my PC. I'll go on working on that. Il faut quand même que ce soit un français qui me fasse la remarque !? 😀
@@team-tennisenglish1514 non il a raison, le son is very bad ! pire que dans tes anciennes video!
@@allchannel1841 Honnêtement ça me gonfle ce son. Je passe des heures à chercher ce qui ne va pas et je ne trouve pas. J'aimerais bien trouver car ce setup me ferait gagner du temps par rapport à ma méthode habituelle.
@@TeamTennisfr demande à un autre streamer ou youtuber pour voir ce qu’ils’utilisent et investi dans un bon micro!
That mic sounds like a bad cell phone. Worse than normal
