Guide Review - Racquet Review - Wilson Hyper Pro Staff Surge 5.1
The Surge's 100-square-inch head and flat beam 26 mm wide with medium flex offer an even mix of power and control. Head-light by 7/8" and weighing only 11 ounces (strung), the Surge is highly maneuverable. It feels quite solid on groundstrokes, with a pleasantly quiet impact response, but power servers might want a slightly heavier thump. The Surge is an excellent choice for promising intermediates through accomplished players whose swings are not too fast to benefit from a racquet that has some modest power of its own.
