Racket Cosmetic Updates

Racket cosmetic updates are a familiar sight in the tennis world. Every year or two, major manufacturers like Wilson, Yonex, Head, and Tecnifibre refresh the look of their flagship frames often without altering the underlying layup or playing characteristics.

Wilson will release a Roland Garros cosmetic Blade, Yonex EZONE might shift its accents, or a Head Speed might adopt a sharper graphic style. Wilson even takes it a step further with its Custom Frame Design offering, allowing players to create their own unique colorways for certain models, making for a truly personal personalisation experience.

Keeping a product visually current and aligning with pro‑tour paint jobs sparks renewed interest from players and for some, a fresh design (or even a custom one) is a reason to upgrade, while having the reassurance that their racket’s feel and specs remain unchanged under the new paint job.

Let’s have a look at some of the more recent cosmetic additions to the market.
