RETURN OF THE OLDIE BUT GOODIE...WILSON TRIAD FIVE

[@jrsanti]

I just had this racquet early this week strung with wilson sensation plus g16 with 50 psi tension. Very comfortable and solid racquet. It doesn’t feel like a 10 oz racquet at all. Prior to this racquet, I was using 2015 roland garros babolat aeropro which weighs 11.6oz strung and I barely notice the weight difference. The only difference I feel is my old babolat has more whip than this. I can still whip the head of wilson triad though but the power it generates is significantly more.

I love coach Rob's forehand with that continental grip. It's so pretty and you don't often see that grip in a forehand these days.

[@ВикторИванов-х1ь1й]

... Well he is a tennis professional and lets just say that forehand doesn't deserve the 100k a year he makes.

[@Siloguy]

He's got that Jimmy Connors stroke doesn't he?

@@ВикторИванов-х1ь1й what kind of forehand deserves $100k/ year ?

I picked up the original Triad 5 at a Goodwill Store in Orlando yesterday!

Light/head heavy normally means tennis elbow for me. Also worth mentioning it’s 27.25”

[@markbrodeur1707]

Ive played an older version. The 18x19 pattern helps control. I could blast first serves easily. Had to modify to 11.2 ounces to feel right.

string suggestion and tension?

Oversized racquets need to make a major return. My 98 inch is not forgiving enough.

I always find funny those guys who have super sharp knowledge about tennis equipment looking for the perfect racquet but play like beginners

All oldie coaches are the same in the world. T-shirt is tucked into training pants!))

It would be nice to know what strings and tension you used. Could you please share that info?

[@antony7713]

Awesome racket. I just bought a used one this week. Lots of power and spin. I love the control. My friends thought I took tennis lessons. I was like a #5 player.

[@rgd37]

Help, I have a Triad 5 103 inch and I need a bumper guard as mine has completely worn out. I cannot find a replacement anywhere. Can you help me?

[@jrsanti]

You should have covered it with duck tape before using it. But covering it with 2 layer of Gorilla duck tape may still be a viable temporary fix.

[@jrsanti]

Wilson triad xp5 replacement may work if you only need the bumber guard since both has 16 holes mains and skips 7&9T 7&9H.

[@philiman6558]

I don’t hate the pickballers.. but that sound in the background grates on me. Thanks for talking about frames like this. So many frames are so close in spec these days.. nice to see something different.

[@kadjannarulnesan2791]

Is there any chance you know much about racket guard protection tape, it's effects and whether it is viable or not?

[@jrsanti]

You can do away with just gorilla duct tape

I wish they still continued producing the K Six One 95 reissue.

try the yonex vcore 95

Where's the split step, Coach Rob?

[@dhaniarifsetyawan5246]

Is this racquet friendly with tennis elbow's player?

[@stuartlloyd-jones9583]

coach Rob and his hobo training pants. lol

Can't take his opinion serious when he's wearing a Wilson shirt and Wilson cap,

After the return of the Three another return with the Five. Wilson is nostalgic ?

I don't like these companies bringing back old racquets. Technology is suppose to be constantly advancing.

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

We've been on graphite for a long time, all the new "tech" is all marketing.

they running out of ideas but still want that $$$

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

@@j1mster3 now they're taking the Apple route and removing features such as feel with their "dampening" and calling it new technology

[@adrianconley5811]

@@SkyreeXScalabar not a lot has changed in 20 years except the price is 💯 higher. No majic sticks. Maybe a red one or a yellow one or mult colored. Biggest change is strings.

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

@@adrianconley5811 Although the price has gotten higher, Tennis Spin made a good point that it's more due to inflation than companies price hiking.
