Wilson Triad Five Racket
Series: Triad
$269.00
Wilson's Triad Five combines "best of class" comfort with controllable power and easy access to spin. At only 10 ounces strung, this racket is suitable for beginners, but it also packs enough stability for rising intermediate or senior doubles specialist. With its 103 square inch head, this racket is more forgiving and powerful than a typical midplus racket while also delivering enough precision to place the ball effectively. This racket's truly exceptional comfort comes in part from it's Triad Technology , which gives it one of the lowest stiffness ratings of any racket currently available. It also comes with Power Holes , which enables the string bed to soak up additional vibration and transfer more power to your shot.

Where to buy
What players say
Players who buy the Triad Five are almost always looking for comfort first, and that's what they report: very low vibration and an arm/elbow-friendly feel from the 27.25" extended, low-stiffness frame. Reviewers describe decent, easy power (especially on serve) and enough control for volleys, though one longtime buyer felt a recent version dampened and hit softer than earlier Triads.
Best for
- Players with tennis elbow or arm/shoulder issues
- Senior and doubles-focused players
- Players wanting easy, forgiving power
- All-court players prioritizing comfort over feel
Pros
- Very low vibration and shock, repeatedly credited with easing tennis elbow pain
- Easy power, especially on serve, from the extended length and head-light-friendly balance
- Large, forgiving sweet spot from the 103 sq in head
- Solid enough at net for volleys according to multiple long-term owners
Cons
- One repeat buyer felt a newer production run lost dampening, power, and feel compared to earlier Triad versions
- Extended length and head size trade some precision for forgiveness, so better-feel players may find it imprecise
- Reviews are mostly from recreational/senior players, not competitive or expert testers, so shot-tolerance for faster swingers is unclear

I have a bad arm and any little bit of vibration gives me a ton of pain...hitting with this racquet is a joy.
— Gregory Eric Laskowski, verified buyer, Web
Vibration upon hitting the ball is virtually nonexistent, yet there is plenty of feel.
— Raoul, verified buyer, Web
It has good power as well as solid control for volleys and serves. I like the triad feature as it is kinder on my lousy elbow.
— Prancer, verified buyer, Web
Not a bad racquet but lacks the dampening, power and feel of previous versions. Feels more like a normal players racquet to me.

This is great for added power, it's arm friendly...I am now purchasing my 3rd in this line as I love it!

I've been having a tennis elbow problem. Since I bought this racquet, I don't have tennis elbow problem anymore.
