Wilson Blade 98 16×19 V8 Tennis Racquet

The Wilson Blade 98 16×19 v8 now features Wilson’s patent protected FORTYFIVE° layup for the more vertical swing plane in today’s modern game. The Blade is again focused on control and feel, with a good balance of stability with flexibility. The racquet’s new look features a green to copper color shifting paint that varies depending on the lighting. In Wilson’s push to literally go-green, the racquet head guard and grommets are created with AGIPLAST, a bio based plastic which was also incorporated into the end cap. Wilson also incorporated Direct Connect technology which connects the end cap into the carbon fiber, as opposed to the foam in the racquet handle. The end result is a 16% increase in torsional stability for greater power and feel. For certain, the Wilson Blade will continue to have a broad and loyal following among competitive tournament players.
