1914- The first Wilson Tennis Racket, priced at only $.075, is crafted with an all wood, second growth ash tree frame and fine-combed cedar handle.
1917- Blue Ribbon
THE BLUE RIBBON WAS ONE OF 28 WILSON MODELS SOLD IN 1917. The Wilson catalog described the racket as “made of white ash, special oval shape, depressed walnut throat, reinforced with dogwood.
1935- The Ellsworth Vines tennis rackets introduce customization to the game of tennis. For the first time, athletes were able to dictate the weight and balance of their racket.
1935- The release of the original leather tennis handle wrap, known as the Mahogany Leather Grip, gave athletes new and unparallel feel and grip.
1949- Jack Kramer Autograph racket
The Jack Kramer Autograph tennis racket introduced unforeseen power to the game of tennis and was produced featuring all ash laminated construction. Over 10 million Jack Kramer rackets were eventually sold between 1949 and 1981. The racket was used by John McEnroe, Tracy Austin, Arthur Ashe, Billie Jean King, and many others on its way to winning more Grand Slams than any other racket during this time.
1967- The era of wooden rackets is stirred with the introduction of the first, commercial metal racket - the Wilson T2000. Its strength and lightweight body still influence the way rackets are built today.

1969- Billie Jean King Autograph racket
The beautifully balanced Strata-Bow racket for the serious female player. Used by Billie Jean King in her record fifth Wimbledon victory, this racket offered long handle pallets to reduce torque, and adds strength and stiffness to the shaft and flexibility to the head. The tournament-quality King Autograph was made of the finest ash with natural beech shoulder overlays, and complemented by beautiful long blue Speed-Flex fiber throat faces.
1975- Chris Evert Autograph racket
A Championship racket specifically designed to meet the needs of serious female players. Frame weight specifications are lighter overall and especially light in the head for maneuverability. The shaft was more flexible for increased power on all shots. The Chris Evert had a longer, 7” high-tack grip for better control, especially on two-handed shots. It was made with famous American white ash and Strata-Bow construction.
1980- Wilson begins developing rackets with an entirely new construction¬– graphite and Kevlar. The Pro Staff racket becomes a favorite amongst pro players.

1987- The Wilson Profile Racket is the first wide body racket in tennis – providing a completely new, never-before-seen level of power to players.
1990- Wilson introduces Hammer technology, providing players with the largest sweet spot of any racket. The Hammer 2.7si weighed only 10oz and was one of the lightest, and most powerful rackets of its time.
1993- Sledge Hammer® 3.8
The Sledge Hamer takes the Hammer weighting system one step further. Lighter than any other previous racket at 9.2 oz, the weight distribution, “fan” head shape and string pattern raised the sweet spot to the upper part of the frame where most balls are hit.
1998- Hyper Sledge Hammer® 2.0
Wilson corners the market on lightweight racquets with an ultra-high modulus material called Hyper Carbon™. Originally used in the aerospace industry, Hyper Carbon is the lightest, stiffest, and strongest material ever used in a tennis racket. After its introduction in October 1998, the Hyper Sledge Hammer® 2.0 quickly became the number one selling racket in the U.S.

2001- TRIAD® 3.0
Wilson makes a breakthrough in the quest to offer power, comfort and control without compromising one for the other. The revolutionary tri-component design separated the entire head and handle from touching each other with a new polymer called Iso-Zorb. Maximum power in the head, control in the handle and comfort in the Iso-Zorb delivers a level of performance impossible in all previous one-piece rackets.
2004- nCode®
Wilson introduces the nCODE technology. With the nano technology™, Wilson broke the atomic code of the racket to create a new class of frame. This revolutionary process, featuring new frame design and new string bed technology (nZone), delivered greater life, power and playability. nCode rackets measure up to 2 times stronger, 2 times more stable and 22% more powerful than ordinary rackets.
2007- [K]Factor ®
Four groundbreaking technologies combine to create the [k]factor racquet. Serena Williams and Roger Rederer switch to [k] factor at the Australian Open and take home the title. [K]Factor combines the next generation in nano technology and unique frame engineering innovations ([K]onnector™, [K]ontour Yoke™ and [K]ompact Center™) that result in the ultimate line of [K]ontrol rackets for all player types.
