Wilson
Shift 99 Pro (2024)
The Wilson Shift is Wilson's most innovative frame in years — a 99 sq in, 314g advanced players' racket featuring an adjustable throat pivot that shifts the balance point and changes the swing feel. In Tour mode it plays headlight and precise; in Shift mode the extra head mass adds stability and pop. It's the Swiss Army knife of performance frames.

Our review
A unique, well-made advanced frame that gives you the ability to dial in feel across two modes. More than a gimmick — the pivot system actually changes how the racket plays in meaningful ways.
Editorial note
The Shift is a genuinely interesting innovation — not a gimmick. Players who spend time with both modes often settle on one as their go-to, but the flexibility to experiment is valuable. A smart buy for the analytically-minded advanced player.
