Wilson's parent company is European, but I think it's all about marketing.

Amplifeel Amplifeel handle technology provides an even cleaner and enhanced feel in the racquet. Amplifeel also allows for a more customized handle system providing additional handle comfort to further support maximizing the feel in each racquet and player segment. That's a weird name for their new technology Other racket company's technology usually is based on a dampening system while wilson's, if we go by the it's name amplifeel, to my understanding amplifies feel. unless you hit the ball in the sweetspot 100% of the time any mishit will also get amplified. Mishits usually sends shocks vibrations to the handle... a perfect recipe for tennis elbow. marketing lang yan!  Happy New Year PTO! |

Happy New Year PTO! from other online descriptions, Amplifeel is reportedly more for the grip and handle. looks like they added a foam layer that supposedly conforms to the player's grip. and a more rounded but cap as well. i'm dubious about this, but they probably added these innovations after inputs from Fed and other Wilson-sponsored pros. so there's only one way to find out if this is a hit or a miss. Wishing everyone lots of sweetspot hits for 2012! |

For years, every manufacturer comes out with "new" technology that promises "more" -- more power (turn your racket into a bazooka), more feel (you can actually feel the fuzz of the ball), more control (place the ball on any given spot on command), more spin (Rafa's got nothing on you), more whatever...
I've always asked the rhetorical question, "how much of 'more' can a racket really provide and how much of 'more' does anyone really need?"
Materials can influence the physics of the racket but there has to be a point of diminishing returns. Granted, for those of us whose skills are on the downward slope, we may need technology to compensate. But ultimately, it's the skills that matter. No amount of technology can compensate for the lack of skills.
No question that technology has changed the way the game is played. But this was the inevitable result of racket material transitioning from wood to graphite. We've been stuck with graphite for the past three decades. Unless someone comes up with a new material to replace graphite, racket performance will still stay within the envelope of graphite's performance characteristics. New materials may be added into the graphite matrix, but something has to be taken out in order to keep the racket within its predetermined specs. Regardless of what technology or material they introduce into a racket, it has to fall within the design specs. That being the case, old model vs new model may have similar performance characteristics, although there may be an incremental difference, just enough to give an old model customer a reason to purchase the new model. Of course, there has to be marketing hype in order to lure other customers away from competing brands. Years ago, titanium was the next big thing. Every tennis gear, including shoes, had this miracle metal. A couple of years later, it just disappeared. I get the feeling that we're all being duped as participants in this marketing shellgame. Wouldn't it be a real pisser if Fed's stick is nothing more than a paintjob of the old PS90?
I doubt if Fed really needs to feel the ball more and if this extra amplified feel will do anything to help him kick Novak's and Rafa's collective asses in 2012. On second thoughts, maybe he does need it. The basalt fibers didn't do him any favors in 2011.
The nanocrystals, carbon black and basalt was supposed to provide 'more'. If this amplifeel provides any more feel than the other 3 combined, I should expect Federer to be giving my arms a massage everytime I hit the ball with this stick.

I like the open '16 x 19' string pattern version, thinner beam, more flexible and lighter swingweight. Di na tayo bumabata, kaya lang mahal pa tong bagong raketa. |

i think with all its suitable characteristics, one can make a bamboo version of the racquet with the same 2012 paintjob, and knowing how good people are at making knock-offs, customers won't be able to tell the difference. now that's a free business idea that's earth-friendly and sustainable! |

After watching the Djoko-Fed match at Mubadala, it seems like the so-called "Amplifeel" technology only managed to "amplify" the pain of getting a thorough 62 61, 44-minute ass-whuppin'.

The Old graphite is better. If your talking about New Technology id say the Inegra Youtek at GT and EXO3 and Basalts are the bests. Pero para sakin ang pinaka better is BLX and EXO3's |

hahahaha nice one sir raketwiz. nakow magagalit na naman mga maka fed nito... Sa sobrang amplified ang feel ng "amplifeel", pati likod ni Fed nakuryente. Ayun, umayaw sa Qatar. Or baka naman, lingering effects ng pagkabugbog nya ke Youtek Innegra boy. |

I have to get my hands into Head Youtek IG prestige mid bago to.
Pero panalo to. Kasi sabi nila, this new Prostaff 90 BLX it plays somewhere between the K90 and BLX 90. Yung good characterics ng dalawang racket pinagsama.
