The Blade 98 18x20 v9 incorporates cutting-edge technologies from Wilson to elevate your on-court experience:
- Parallel Drilling: Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response, significantly enlarging the sweet spot for more reliable contact.
- FORTYFIVE: This patent-protected frame layup enhances feel, creating a deeper connection to the ball. It also increases both flexibility and stability to support modern, vertical swing paths without compromise.
- Braided Graphite + Basalt: A blend of elastic and reactive materials that improves racquet flex, leading to increased ball contact time with the strings for superior feel and precise control.
- Top Grip Taper: A tapered grip design that provides a more intuitive feel for top-handed grip placement, particularly beneficial for two-handed backhands.
- DirectConnect: The carbon fibre handle extends to directly connect with the end cap, improving feel and boosting torsional stability for a more solid response.
- StableFeel: This new Blade technology delivers an enhanced, firmer feel and increased stability, creating a profoundly connected-to-the-ball sensation. It results in a "sharper Blade" for players looking to refine their game.
