Wilson Steam 99S

The Steam 99S has been consistently described as “crazy,” “a game changer” and “unlike anything I’ve ever hit before.” The super open Spin Effect 16×15 string pattern allows you to unleash a whole new level of spin. On topspin groundstrokes the ball leaves the stringbed at a slightly higher trajectory than normal, but it dives down at the court with tons of action and backs your opponent off the baseline. We also found the racquet to perform well in other aspects. Power was there when needed, and there was more control than we expected. The crazy spin and easy pace means going from all out defense to full on offense is often just one swing away with the Steam 99S.
