Wilson US Open GS 105 – Easy-to-Play Tennis Racquet for Beginners
Wilson US Open GS 105 is an easy-to-play and forgiving tennis racquet designed primarily for beginners and recreational players. With its generous head size, manageable weight and open 16x19 string pattern, the racquet is designed to make it easier to get started with tennis and develop a solid foundation.
The large sweet spot provides greater forgiveness when the ball is not hit perfectly in the centre of the racquet. At the same time, the construction helps the player generate good ball speed without requiring the high swing speed associated with more demanding performance racquets.
The racquet is supplied pre-strung, allowing you to start playing straight away.
Large Sweet Spot – Perfect for Beginners
The generous head size provides a large and forgiving sweet spot. This means the racquet can still produce a good response even when the ball is hit slightly off-centre.
For beginners, this makes the game easier and provides more successful shots while allowing the player to focus on developing technique, timing and footwork.
279 Grams – Easy to Handle
With an unstrung weight of 279 grams, Wilson US Open GS 105 is relatively lightweight and easy to swing.
The manageable weight makes it easier for new players to develop a proper swing and get the racquet into position without it feeling unnecessarily heavy or difficult to maneuver.
Fused Construction – Comfort and Control
Fused Construction combines fibreglass and aluminium to create a construction with a good balance of comfort, stability and control.
This gives the racquet an easy-to-play character that is well suited to beginners and recreational players.
Double Hole Technology – Easier Power
With Double Hole Technology, larger string holes allow the strings to move more freely at impact.
This contributes to easier access to power and improved ball contact while also helping to absorb vibrations.
ARC 2 – Increased Stability
ARC 2 Technology uses a frame geometry designed to improve racquet stability.
The additional stability provides a more secure feel at impact and helps beginners achieve better control over their shots.
US Open-Inspired Design
The racquet features a sporty design inspired by the US Open, one of tennis's four Grand Slam tournaments. It gives the racquet a modern appearance while maintaining a clear focus on easy-to-play characteristics for beginners.
