The Wilson Blade 98 (18 x 20 string pattern) v9 Tennis Racket!

With nearly 20 years of dominance on the tennis court, Wilson's Blade performance rackets maintain their status as a preferred racket for players looking for top levels of control, feel and stability.

With an Emerald Night matte finish, the Blade v9 has a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fibre handle for enhanced torsional stability. Another benefit of this tennis racket is the stable response that allows players to feel more connected-to-the-ball. StableFeel technology enhances the racket's sharp response and the feel of its control-oriented string pattern.

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.
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.
