Wilson Blade 98 18X20 v9
With over 20 years of excellency and dozens of professional players using it, the 9th version of the Wilson Blade continues on with ultimate feel and control. The v9 introduces StabilFeel, a 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. An often neglected area of a racquet is the grip/handle. Wilson addresses this by adding Top Grip Taper, which improves the feel of holding the handle on the upper part for 2-handed backhands. The DirectConnect tech is carbon fibers in the handle that extend to the end cap for enhanced feel and torsional stability. Rounding out the line of tech in the racquet is the FortyFive and Parallel Drilling, found in many Wilson racquets over the years
The Wilson Blade 98 18X20 v9 tennis racquet is destined for heavy hitters who attack each point trying to end it, not just stay in it. The 18x20 string pattern offers utmost feel, allowing you to hit lines and make your shots unreturnable. The low flex rating continues the trend of Blade racquets being soft for players with arm injuries. Aggressive players who want to dictate points will find the Blade 98 18x20 a very surgical racquet.
