Is This Wilson Racket a CHEAT CODE for Any Player?

Andy Roddick thought he'd never hit a backhand like this again -- until Wilson's Ron Rocchi walked in with a prototype he wasn't even allowed to keep.

This is a rare, up-close look at a Hall of Fame player hitting with a brand-new racket for the very first time... and absolutely loving it. Watch Andy Roddick and Ron Rocchi, Global Tour Manager at Wilson, break down the technology behind @WilsonRacquet's newest frame -- why the game has changed with fluffing balls, slower courts, and bigger, stronger players, and why half of Wilson's tour athletes asked for an equipment change last season.

Then Andy takes the new racket -- built around a bigger, more uniform sweet spot and next-level torsional stability -- out on court, and the reaction speaks for itself. Plus the pros already switching to it, and the one frame Ron refused to let Andy walk away with.
