Wilson Racquet Sports launched Triad, a new technology in tennis racquet and a Double Core tennis ball

Wilson Sporting Goods Co., part of Amer Sports, launched Triad in June, the newest technology in tennis. Triad is designed in multiple components, which maximises comfort and power without compromising one for the other.

When hitting the ball all the racquets produce shock followed by uncomfortable vibrations and sensations when reaching the arm. Racquets in one continuous piece act as a conduit of vibration from head to handle. In Triad the hoop and handle never touch as they are buffered by Iso-Zorb that isolates shock in the hoop reducing 66% of the vibration from ever reaching the body.

The new Triad technology racquets Triad Hammer 2.0; Triad Hammer 3.0; Triad Hammer 4.0 and Triad Hammer 5.0 started to ship in the US in July 2001 and will start in other markets later in the summer.

In May, Wilson introduced a new premium tennis ball, called Double Core. The technology is butyl-based sealant, which reduces air permeation by 200%. Along with a brand new premium felt, this allows the ball to last twice as long as other pressurised tennis balls.
