Original W | Labs Project Shift — Not Just Another Used Racquet

This is an original Wilson W|Labs Project Shift 99/300, part of the development that preceded Wilson's production Shift racquet family.

That gives the frame a little more personality than simply listing another used retail racquet. For a Wilson enthusiast, Shift player or someone interested in the earlier W|Labs release, the original Project Shift cosmetic is part of the appeal.

Description

The Project Shift 99/300 combines a performance-oriented 99-square-inch head with a manageable 300-gram unstrung weight and a 16x20 string pattern.

It's a specification package that should appeal primarily to intermediate through advanced players looking for maneuverability, spin potential and controllable power without stepping into an especially heavy player's racquet.

At 300 grams unstrung, there's enough substance here for serious tennis while remaining accessible to a fairly broad range of experienced players. The racquet is currently strung and includes the installed overgrip shown in the photographs.

As a pre-owned performance racquet, normal cosmetic evidence of previous play should be expected. Buyers should use the photographs above to evaluate the actual cosmetic condition of the frame.

Why This One Stands Out

The W|Labs 99/300 markings are clearly visible on the actual racquet, which is important.

This isn't being presented merely as a generic Wilson Shift. The W|Labs Project Shift designation connects it to the earlier developmental release of what ultimately became the Shift family.

That makes this one potentially interesting to two different buyers: someone who simply wants to play with it, and someone who specifically appreciates Wilson racquets and wants the original W| Labs version.
