WILSON BLADE 98 18×20 V9 TENNIS RACQUET

OVERVIEW –

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 (18×20) 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. StableFeel technology enhances the racket’s sharp response and the feel of its control-oriented string pattern.

PARADIGM BENDING –

A carbon fiber construction strategically crafted to optimize the bending profile of the racket hoop and shaft. This construction shifts more flexibility into the shaft for an ideal blend of classic Pro Staff feel and precision without compromising modern power.

STRING MAPPING –

Strings sit closer together, yielding a denser string bed for excellent precision and feel.

BRAID 45 –

Frame construction arranges the double braided fibers at 45 degree angles, allowing the braid to breathe more upon impact. The result is an enhanced pocketing feel combined with incredible stability.

ERGONOMIC END CAP –

Ergonomic End Cap yields improved comfort and playability.
