今期一番注目されているラケットはウィルソンのウルトラツアーだと思います。
もう説明不要なツッコミ所満載ラケット。
今までペイントジョブで存在を隠されてきた存在・・・まあ形状からしてバレバレでしょうけど、それがまさかの市販化。
市販化となると気になるのはプロストックのH19との差。
H19と言えば手に握ればハードなスペックにも関わらず、18×20のストリングパターンと薄いボックスフレームは心強くボールを受け止めてくれ、まるでエネルギーが充填されているかのようなフレームがしなり返して強烈なショットを放つ。
でもプロストックは素材が良いって言うし、市販とプロストックじゃ違うんじゃないの?
そう疑いながらも実際に手に取らないと気が収まらないのが道具オタクの性。
という訳で今回!元々持っていたH19に加えて噂のウルトラツアーも手に入れました。先輩が!!
じゃあH19とウルトラツアーの差を、同じストリングを張って比較してみようじゃありませんか!先輩が!!
とりあえず今日はウルトラツアーの方をストリンギング。
H19の方にも明日同じストリングを同じテンションで張って、週末にプレーです。
パッと見はとりあえず大きな差は無し。
でもよく見たらストリングホールの大きさの違う箇所が・・・
あと、スロートの正面厚がウルトラツアーの方が触った感じ太いような?触っただけなので気のせいかな?
ふと気になった「ウルトラツアー バージョン2.0」。
ウルトラモールド→H19モールドだからか、それともH19→ウルトラツアーだからVer 2なのかと深読みしましたが、よく考えたらウルトラ自体が2代目って意味でしょうね。
ウルトラCVの実物を見た事無いんですけど、きっとそっちにもVer 2表記があるのかも。
それにしてもせっかく大胆不敵に発売したウルトラツアーですが、最近のウィルソンご自慢のカウンターベイルは無し。
特にこれといったテクノロジーが使われている様子も無く、ただただシンプルなボックスフレーム。
プロモールドの待望のラケットではありますが、ウィルソン特有の味が薄いとなると、だったら最新テクノロジーを載せたプレステージでも良いのでは・・・?という気もしなくもない。
でも97インチで18×20のボックスフレーム、X2.0もピュアコンも違うし意外と少ない?需要ありそう?
ウルトラツアーがもし日本でも売られるとしたら
「形が違う?ストリングパターン細かいし薄いし、これこそが究極の”ウルトラはいる”だよ!」
みたいにメーカーがどうこのラケットを説明するのかとか、売らないなら売らないでやっぱり内緒にしときたいラケットなんだな・・・とか、どっちに転んでも面白いラケットですが、まさか日本での販売が決まるとは思っていませんでした。
とはいえ限定販売というこれまた微妙に歯切れの悪い扱い。
ラフィノさんのインプレ動画でもなんだか漂う「察して」オーラ・・・
青色を気に入ったモンフィス鶴の一声説によって、我々は踊らされているのかもしれない・・・
The latest on the Paris Olympics Площадка кракен The Olympic tennis tournament is underway but the red clay of Roland Garros is missing some of the sport’s biggest stars including world no. 1 Jannik Sinner. While some are sidelined by illnesses and injuries others are abstaining as a result of the professional circuit’s brutal schedule this summer. Between the French Open Wimbledon and the US Open summer is always a busy season for those chasing an elusive Grand Slam title. Though the rest of the sports world sees the Olympics as the ultimate competition the Games’ anthem falls flat amidst the prestigious yearly summer tournaments in Paris London and New York. https://kraken18c.com kraken tor Ben Shelton the rising 21-year-old US star ranked No. 14 in the world said the Olympics fall at a tough time in the tournament schedule as he will be coming off a stint in Europe and wants to prepare for the US Open. “Having to go back to Europe to play on clay a different surface – it kind of messes up a few lead-up tournaments to the US Open that I would play if I wasn’t playing the Olympics” Shelton told reporters in the spring.
Roland Garros is loud ahead of epic clash between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Heres how to watch. kraken18 at The first match of the day is about to get going at Court Philippe-Chatrier here at Roland Garros and it is going to be an electric afternoon in the Paris sunshine. Today’s first contest is a second-round encounter in the women’s tournament between France’s Diane Parry and Poland’s Iga Swiatek. While the home nation’s crowd will certainly be behind Parry it’s the second clash on the schedule that has everyone’s mouths watering. https://kraken18c.com kraken shop Rafael Nadal the ‘King of Clay’ and 14-time winner of the French Open held annually on this court is the sentimental favorite. Nadal has endeared himself to the Paris faithful over the years with his dominance of the French Open and is attempting to make one final run for gold on what could potentially be one of his last runs on these famous clay courts as he alludes to a career which is slowly winding down. Meanwhile for Novak Djokovic — the winner of 24 grand slams the most all-time in the men’s game — Nadal is a major obstacle to the one title he hasn’t won: an Olympic gold medal. The Serb has been open about his desire to win his first gold. Nadal eked out a win in three sets on Sunday in his first-round match while Djokovic cruised on Saturday in his opening contest. The Spaniard has fought injuries for much of the last two years and his opponent will be favored — but there’s just something different about the Spaniard playing on Roland Garros’ clay.

Heat is testing the limits of human survivability. Here’s how it kills kraken18 at Philip Kreycik should have survived his run. In the summer of 2021 the 37-year-old ultra-marathon runner used an app to plot a roughly 8-mile loop through Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in California a huge stretch of parkland threaded with trails. On the morning of July 10 as temperatures crept into the 90s Kreycik set off from his car leaving his phone and water locked inside. He started at a lightning pace — eating up the first 5 miles each one in less than six minutes. https://kraken19v.com kraken19 at Then things started to go wrong. GPS data from his smartwatch showed he slowed dramatically. He veered off the trail. His steps became erratic. By this time the temperature was above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When Kreycik failed to show up for a family lunch his wife contacted the police. It took more than three weeks to find his body. An autopsy showed no sign of traumatic injuries. Police confirmed Kreycik likely experienced a medical emergency related to the heat. The tragedy is sadly far from unique; extreme heat is turning ordinary activities deadly. People have died taking a stroll in the midday sun on a family hike in a national park at an outdoor Taylor Swift concert and even sweltering in their homes without air conditioning. During this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in June around 1300 people perished as temperatures pushed above 120 degrees Fahrenheit in Mecca.
