Designed for easy handling and power, it helps you enjoy the game from your first swing. While perfect for recreational use, its design prioritizes ease of play over advanced competitive performance, making it less suited for highly competitive match play.

The Wilson Intrigue SE Tennis Racket excels in recreational play and for players who prioritize enjoyment and ease of use on the court. Its large headsize acts as a generous sweet spot, meaning you don't have to hit the ball perfectly every time to send it over the net with good pace. This forgiveness is crucial for learning fundamental strokes or regaining confidence after a break from the game.
The lightweight nature allows for quicker racket head speed, translating into easier power generation without excessive effort, which is beneficial for beginners or players with developing technique. The open 16x20 string pattern is a key feature for those looking to explore spin; you'll find it easier to grip the ball and impart topspin or slice, adding a new dimension to your game.
This racket is ideal for casual matches with friends, practice sessions, or simply hitting balls at the park. It provides a solid foundation for developing a consistent game and experimenting with different shot types, making tennis more satisfying and less frustrating for the developing player.
The Wilson Intrigue SE Tennis Racket comes prestrung and ready for immediate use. No assembly or initial stringing is required. Simply unpackage your racket, and you're set to play.
Balls: Compatible with all standard tennis balls (pressurized and pressureless).
Courts: Suitable for use on all tennis court surfaces, including hard courts, clay courts, and grass courts.
Players: Designed for recreational adult players, beginners, and those returning to the sport. While suitable for developing juniors, its full adult length (27 inches) should be considered.
To ensure your Wilson Intrigue SE Tennis Racket lasts for many seasons, follow these care guidelines:
Store Properly: Keep your racket in a racket bag or case when not in use to protect it from physical damage and extreme temperatures.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave your racket in direct sunlight for prolonged periods or in very cold environments (like a car trunk in winter). Extreme temperatures can affect frame integrity and string tension.
Handle with Care: Avoid hitting your racket against the net post, ground, or other hard surfaces, as this can damage the frame.
Check Strings: Periodically check your strings for fraying or breakage. While prestrung, strings will eventually wear out and may need replacement.
Clean Grip: If your grip gets dirty or slippery, clean it gently with a damp cloth. Consider replacing overgrips regularly for optimal feel and hygiene.
