Why?, I hear you ask. Well the answer is that it broke. Because I play a very 'coached' game, I tend to hit ... Read review

...stated that I had a Wilson Hammer 6.4. Unfortunately due to some rather worrying circumstances, I no longer have this racquet. Why?, I hear you ask. Well the answer is that it broke.

We were also able to generate some good topspin with the Hammer, which we found especially useful when hitting angles or lobs. If the racket has any drawbacks off the ground, it is the inherent lightness built ... ...a classic stroke style, the Wilson Hyper Hammer is a versatile racquet that should garner similar popularity as previous Hammer models.
