WILSON'S NEW TITANIUM TOUR BALL ENDORSED BY LPRA

CHICAGO, January 29, 2004 - Wilson Racquet Sports introduces two new balls for Racquetball, the Titanium Tour and the Championship, that have been playing better longer than other balls on the market.

Wilson has been working to develop a superior ball for over two years. And have finally done so with these two introductions. Both the Titanium Tour and Championship feel lighter and keep their true bounce game after game.

The green Titanium Tour ball plays slightly faster than the blue Championship, and is endorsed by several states and by the Ladies Professional Racquetball Association (LPRA).

"We have no doubt consumers will love the playing characteristics of these new balls. The quality, paired with the innovative new square packaging, makes them different than any other ball in the industry," said Terri Graham, Wilson, Business Director Indoor Racquet Sports.

Here is what the consumers are saying about the Titanium Tour ball:

"Everyone I have given the Titanium Tour to loves it. It comes off the racquet very well, and none have broken after several matches of hard play." Carter Green, VA

"This is the first tournament I have run where we had no ball breakage the entire weekend." Mike Mojer, FL

Now available in pro shops and sporting goods stores, the three-ball Titanium Tour can sells for $3.99 and the three- ball Championship cans for $2.99.
