The Wilson Blade 98 (16x19) V9 Tennis Racket!
Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson's Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of competitors looking for ultimate control, feel and stability.
The NEW Wilson Blade 98 (16x19) V9 has a sharper, more stable response that produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel. With an Emerald Night matte finish, the V9 has a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fibre handle for enhanced torsional stability.
An open string pattern provides a more forgiving response, which delivers consistent, spin-friendly shots.
-
Parallel Drilling: Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot.
-
FORTYFIVE°: Patent-protected frame layup produces more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern, vertical swing path. Material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing.
-
Braided Graphite + Basalt: Elastic and reactive material combination improves the flex of a racket to increase ball contact with the strings for enhanced feel and greater control.
-
Top Grip Taper: Tapered grip lends better feel for top-handed grip placement on two-handed backhand.
-
DirectConnect: Carbon fibre handle extends to directly connect with end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
-
StableFeel: The new Blade technology that provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Designed with avid players in mind, this "sharper Blade" is ideal for those seeking to improve their game.
