The Wilson Ripper 133 BLX is a new version of the Wilson Ripper BLX and it’s just come out in 2014. I’m not sure whether to rip my opponent to shreds, or just read a bodice-ripper.
It seems like this racket comes in a couple different cosmetics, and on top of that there’s the very similar-looking Wilson Ripper 135 BLX (which may be the 2015 version).
Thanks to Joe Magor from CM Stringers for the tip.
Here’s one cosmetic:

I use a similar version of the Wilson Ripper 140, and it is my favorite racquet. Best blend of power and control, with just enough stiffness. I had played with the Wilson Hyperhammer 120, and while they have a similar feel, the heavy weight comes across smoother on shots.
On another note, after 4 months of regular club play, the Ripper cracked at the neck. My local pro told me to call WIlson, which did, and after a few emailed pictures and proof of purchase, the replaced the racquet. Truly a great company, and a great racquet.

Thanks Kyle. Is this the Wilson Ripper 140 that you use?
