[K]EY FEATURES

[k]ore foam
smart density nanofoam used in the paddle [k]ore has been taken to the next
level using [k]arophite black. this nanoscopic level material helps [k]ontrol
the voids in the foam providing a more stable hit all around.

[k]ustom zone
new paddle design offers a larger
hitting surface increasing the size
of the sweet spot.
[3]
[k]ontour rim
a new engineered rim
enhances stiffness for
improved stability and [k]ontrol. smooth
paddle edges can increase pressure drag by
increasing the size of the wake. similar to
dimples on a golf ball, the [k]ontoured rim
reduces pressure drag by reducing the wake.

an even hitting surface allowing for increased spin and feel.

at 10-9, or one-billionth of a meter, the nano scale is too small to see.
but the difference… is too big to ever forget.

nanofoam
wilson’s ncode® technology controls the voids in the foam
providing a more stable hit all around.
SMART DENSITY
smart density utilizes two distinct eva foam densities in one paddle.
smart density occurs when the paddle responds to the speed of the hit on the
paddle face. your swing and impact can generate more power as smart density
responds. the smart density core allows for more cushioned feel when needed.

PERFORMANCE BALL
how do you develop platform balls
with perfect bounce, perfect speed,
and are longer lasting?
simple, you go to the best engineers
in the industry, gather hundreds of
play testers, and hit the courts. that’s
exactly what we’ve been doing over the
past 12 months.
if you’re looking for a ball with perfect
speed for all levels of play, look no
further than the new platform ball
from wilson.
the ball is engineered from a unique
rubber compound that provides a
consistent bounce, point after point,
and durability that last game after
game.
the only thing missing in wilson’s new
platform ball is the paddle and you.

nVue™
three years ago wilson broke the atomic
code of a racquet to create a new class
of frames. now we’ve carried over our
ncode® nano technology™ to our nvue
eye guards. the lenses are treated with
a special ncoded formula to create a
virtually scratch resistant surface. the
nvue frame is ergonomically designed to
provide optimal fit for the contour of
your head to prevent slipping. Aerodynamically designed ventilation holes
will prevent fogging during any indoor
or outdoor play. and with 3 lens styles
included, the nvue is not only for your
platform game but also for all your
other outdoor activities.
