The Wilson PY 138 BLX.
WHY GOD, WHY? This is the weirdest, most inelegant frame shape I’ve even witnessed. They say it provides extra power, but even if it provides bone-crushing power, I’m not sure I’d want to pull it out of my bag.

Ok, I wasn’t very nice to this racket, and I’ve never even touched it. If you’ve tried it out, please leave a review in the comments!

I recently saw this racket from local auction site, couldnt resist this unique looking shape. It indeed offers a great deal of power. probably the most powerful racket I’ve played with. apart from its ugly design, it also makes a whistle sound whilst swing. the whistle probably comes from the PY power yoke, which could be wilson’s attempt to prince’s power ring.
It is the ultimate product of bad design, which makes it brilliant.

I tried this racquet and it is quite amazing! I am surprised more people are not talking about this.
It looks very odd but in person that yoke thing looks quite cool since it’s not connected to the sides and it feels very sturdy so I wouldn’t worry about being aggressive with it.
Best thing about it is that it feels like that old Wilson nCode 120 but with a ton of power. It’s very easy to be consistent with length since you don’t have to swing hard to get it where you want. Control isn’t the best though. Had a tough time cutting the ball just right with it.
My new favorite racquet by far. Tried it against a carboflex 125, prince rebel 950 and Head Cyano 110.

Ugly but a good racket. I played for a year with this racket and the extra power is the most interesting thing. Precision is good but not awesome like the blx tour (for example). If you like to put less energy in your arm but at the same time, shots like a missile:it’s your racket!

I got to much vibration in this racquet and the strings are kinda bad.
