Wilson Apparel Experiences?
Main Post:
Title says it all, pretty much. I keep peeking at Wilson’s men’s line and think their wares actually look surprisingly fire. Anyone have any experience with it/ quality? Seems to be somewhat of a new push for them and I can’t find many reviews.
Top Comment: My wife actually just got an outfit recently but had to return it as it was too small. However the materials and construction seem very premium and honestly better than Nike or Adidas.
Wilson irons
Main Post: Wilson irons
Top Comment: Wilson has always made fantastic irons, they just messed up their brand by making so many cheap "starter" sets, that it became what they are mostly known for. I still find it amusing that Wilson is the manufacturer with the most major wins ever (62). Hopefully they will claw themselves back into the mind of players.
Wilson is not a good person
Main Post:
I'm not sure why people think Wilson is such a great guy.
Every post about him talks about how cute and nice he is, and I don't see it at all. He admits to having cheated on all of his wives, he manipulates patients at House's command, and he had SEX with his DYING PATIENT. On top of that, he then had the audacity to get angry with House for "letting" the teenage miracle worker talk to her as if he wasn't actively doing something much worse for her psyche. There are other examples, but I'm midway through season 2 so these are the most recent ones. He's just like House, only he tries to act like he isn't.
Edit- even though I'm getting downvoted, I appreciate all the responses, this is turning out to be a pretty thought-provoking discussion
Top Comment: I'm pretty sure that's why House likes him.
Why do I hate Wilson Rackets?
Main Post:
I've been demoing rackets and no matter the frame, I can't get comfortable with a Wilson stick. Doesn't matter if it's a ProStaff, Clash, Blade, whether it's 98in or 104 inches. Extended or regular. They all feel like hitting with a frying pan. Hard, inflexible, no power, slow.
Adding a vibration dampener to the blade 98 made it better, but switching mid-set to the Ezone was a huge leap forward.
I'm used to playing with Pure Drives and have enjoyed rackets I've demoed from Head (Radical MP) and Yonex (Ezone 98).
I've tried Wilson sticks that have similar specs and which, on paper, should work well. I've seen players on the opposite court using these rackets with great success and with games that look a lot like mine. There's something in my technique or in the makeup of these rackets that I just can't get over.
I want to figure it out because I like the Wilson brand and it makes no sense to me that I can't find one with which I can hit well. I don't understand why and think the problem must be me, but I can't put my finger on it. Any ideas?
Top Comment: I strongly believe everyone has one brand they just don’t like. Specs can be identical, but for whatever reason the feel just doesn’t work for you. Good thing there’s lots of other brands out there, demo a bunch and use what works for you.

Parker’s BBQ is all you need to know. Enjoy.
so.. how bad is wilson?
Main Post:
just curious on what your opinions are! what the community is like, pros and cons of living there, maybe how nice the current ra's are? is it true there are parties there all the time? how bad is it to take the bus everywhere? i just wanna hear if it really is as bad as people say it is 💀
Top Comment: When I lived in Wilson, the RA would call the cops on someone all the time in the middle of the night and I don't know why. They would show up at 3 am slamming on the person's door saying open up, but they never opened so they would leave after like 15 mins. I probably would have hated living there if I hadn't gotten a single for free because my roommate dipped before the semester started.
Why Do You Think Wilson Stayed Friends With House?
Main Post:
I recently rewatched S4E11 "Frozen" and in it the patient questions why Wilson is friends with House. Wilson asking if she thinks House is secretly much nicer than he seems, but her saying that she thinks Wilson is secretly a much worse person than he seems on the basis that he's friends with him.
So I just wanted to ask people's opinions: Why do you think Wilson, a guy who at least on the surface is a very kind and compassionate person, was such close friends with House, a guy who is quite amoral at best and often cruel or manipulative? What attracts Wilson to him? What keeps him in the relationship? Do you think that patient was right?
Top Comment: I think she was partly right. On the surface they seem far apart but Wilson isn’t as nice as he lets others think. He can be himself more with House . House is Wilson’s escape valve from everything else- being an oncologist, being nicer to people than he feels like at least part of the time. He likes feeling superior to House but he can go overboard on it . They genuinely have fun together . I also agree there doesn’t need to be a major reason some people are just drawn together and like or love each other. One other thing I think House is interesting to Wilson I at times get the sense most people bore Wilson .
Has anyone else discovered Wilson?
Main Post:
Did a driver fitting and tried all of the big brands. I recently also got a Wilson 7-wood (also amazing) so had the fitter throw the Wilson driver into the mix. It out-performed every other driver in every metric for me. It just arrived yesterday and the thing is an absolute cannon.
Top Comment: Wilson is absolutely massive in the European market. People don't give it a chance in North America.
