Babolat Viper
The modern tennis baseline is a battlefield of explosive, heavy-spin exchanges. Winning isn't just about hitting hard; it's about hitting hard with purpose. It's this core challenge that Wilson tackles head-on with its new Ultra V5 series. Launched in mid-July 2025, this isn't just another update—it's a fundamental rethinking of what a power racket should be, blending raw force with surgical precision.
The Science of Feel and Force
At the heart of the Ultra V5's design is a philosophy of "easy power"—power that feels intuitive and controllable. Wilson achieves this through a trio of engineering advancements.
SI3D Frame Technology
The game-changer is the racket's ability to flex three-dimensionally. Imagine a catcher's mitt perfectly molding around a baseball, rather than a stiff board simply deflecting it. This technology creates a similar effect, enhancing ‘pocketing’—the sensation of the ball sinking into and being gripped by the string bed. The result is a significant boost in dwell time, allowing for more spin, greater control, and a truly explosive launch, all without sacrificing stability on off-center hits.
The Promise of Precision
In manufacturing, consistency is king. The Ultra V5 boasts an exceptionally tight spec tolerance (e.g., weight variance of just ±5.5 g). This commitment ensures that the racket you demo plays as close as possible to the one you purchase, building unshakable trust between player and equipment.
Durable by Design
The innovative Click & Go grommet system is a modular solution that simplifies maintenance and replacement, extending the racket's life while keeping its striking Electric Indigo finish looking sharp.
A Racket for Every Ambition
Wilson has crafted an entire family of rackets, ensuring a perfect match for a wide spectrum of players.
Ultra 100 V5
The flagship model is the people's champion. Weighing around 300 g with a 100 sq in head, it delivers a generous sweet spot, easy depth, and impressive spin potential. It's the versatile workhorse for the ambitious club player.
Ultra 99 Pro V5
This is the competitor's edge. At approximately 305 g with a spin-friendly 16x18 string pattern, this tour-grade frame is for the skilled player who generates their own pace and demands maximum feel and forgiveness on aggressive swings.
Lightweight & Youth Models
With the Ultra 100L, 100UL, and junior models 25 and 26, the franchise provides a clear pathway for developing players and those who prefer a lighter, more maneuverable frame without sacrificing the line's core benefits.
Validated on Tour, Designed to Dazzle
The adoption of new technology on the professional tour is often a gradual process, but the Ultra V5 is showing early signs of making a significant impression. A vanguard of top players, including Alex de Minaur, Maria Sakkari, Marta Kostyuk, and Qinwen Zheng, are among the first to integrate the new frame into their game, seeking an edge in a sport of fine margins. As de Minaur puts it, the confidence gained is palpable: “The new Ultra V5 gives me a whole new level of confidence on court—the power and precision are on another level.”
This pro-level confidence is mirrored in the racket's aesthetic. The design team envisioned a "blue flame"—an object that seems cool but burns with intense energy. The result is a vibrant electric indigo finish that communicates both composure and boldness. To complete the ecosystem, Wilson released a matching line of Tour bags, allowing players to carry their gear with the same flair the racket brings to their game.
The Final Word
The Wilson Ultra V5 successfully bridges the gap between raw power and nuanced control. It’s engineered for the aggressive baseliner who refuses to compromise, offering the tools to hit bigger while also hitting smarter. By enhancing the racket's ability to pocket the ball, Wilson gives players the confidence to swing freely, knowing that precision is built directly into the frame. This racket doesn't just empower your swing; it empowers your strategy.
