Wilson Blade

What they say:

“Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson’s Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of avid competitors looking for ultimate control, feel and stability. The Blade 98 (16×19) V9 has a sharper, more stable response that produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Featuring a new Emerald Night matte finish, the V9 has a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber handle for enhanced torsional stability. It also features an open string pattern with a more forgiving response, which delivers consistent, spin-friendly shots on the 16×19 version and the 18×20 provides unmatchable control and touch.

A sharper, more stable Blade ideal for avid players who want ultimate control and feel.”

What Chris says:

It’s not a coincidence this was the most popular racket at Wimbledon and the Ilkley Trophy this year. If you’re looking for a stable, stiff response based racket this is for you. Best suited for advanced players. Used by (amongst many others) Emma Radacanu, Alex de Minaur, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Madison Keys.”
