Wilson Ncode Technology
Wilson's new nCode technology alters the molecular structure of carbon fiber by filling micro-voids with special nano-sized silicone oxide crystals.  This prevents the fibers from moving around - at the molecular level.

The result to you as a player is that the head of the racquet is more stable; it has much less flex and distortion when you hit the ball.  This gives you more control, a bigger sweet spot, and a clean crisp feel when you strike the ball.

This is not just advertising hype; it really does work.  We have play tested several identically strung nCode and non-nCode frames (the Triad 5 vs. the n5, the H6 vs. the n6, the Hammer tour vs. the nTour) and it really does work.  The nCode racquets all had a bigger sweet spot and a crisper, more controlled feel.

In addition, the racquets last longer.  All carbon fiber racquets - from all manufacturers - last only so long before the fibers wear out and the racquet looses it's feel.  For hard players this can be a season, for average players it can be several years; but they do wear out.  Wilson says that on stress test machines, the nCode racquets kept their playability twice as long.
Wilson Triad Technology
Wilson Triad technology is a three piece racquet system:
  • the racquet head
  • the racquet handle
  • a special iso-zorb string to isolate the head and handle

The iso-zorb strip adsorbs shock and vibration which make the racquet very comfortable to play with.  Since the racquet has this shock adsorption, Wilson can also make the head area stiffer for greater control.

Wilson is continually improving the design of the iso-zorb construction.  Now in it's fourth generation, it has increased feel with amazing comfort.

The iso-zorb material is an exclusive Wilson design.  Triad racquets were first introduced in 2000, over the past years we have never encountered any construction or longevity problems.
Wilson Hammer Technology
Wilson's Hammer technology is basically a racquet that overall is light but is also head heavy.  The light racquet is maneuverable.  The heavy head provides power and stability on shots.  "Hammer" is a very effective and popular technology.
