🎾 First impressions? She’s sleek.

The Wilson Ultra 99 Pro V5 is a tennis racket built for players who want power, spin, and control without feeling weighed down.

From the baseline, my forehands felt solid and my backhand crisp.

At the net, it was stable but never clunky, and on serves? Let’s just say I got some extra pop *and* a little more kick than I expected.

The grip also deserves a shoutout because it actually feels comfortable in my hand, which isn’t always the case with “power” frames.

But is it the right racket for everyone? Not exactly. I’ll share who it’s best suited for, plus what I loved (and what I didn’t) in my full review.

"Riley Chervinski, co-owner of Racket Royalty underscored the importance of proper footwear from the start: “Don't just wear running shoes,” she said. “You should be playing in shoes designed for lateral movement like court shoes — either tennis or pickleball-specific — to prevent rolled ankles and help you move faster on the kitchen line.”
