Used by Edgberg, Graf, Courier (I believe) and most notable - Sampras. They were probably onto something.
In short - small head (available in 85 sq. in. and latterly, a 95 sq. in. version) heavy racket with head light design. Better for your elbow, therefore, but very lacking in power. This might surprise some people, given it's use by Sampras; but the guy didn't need any help generating power.
Also very stiff (6.0 rating) and unforgiving on poorly hit shots.
To sum up - super racket if you want absolute control over your shots, and aren't interested in any namby-pamby gimmicks like 'power holes' or massive fat frames. Tough to get on with if you are an innacurate hitter. A bit like a fretless bass - no help given to you; but if you're advanced, you want absolute control over what you're doing.
oh - btw. Production of this racket stalled for several years increasing demand, but due to strong (cult) following, Wilson started production again. Almost impossible to find this one cheap, despite being almost a 15 year old design.
