Description

The ultimate control racket is revamped for modern players.
Wilson´s high-performance Blade racquets deliver pinpoint control to dominate in the big moments.
For the 10th edition of this iconic model, we´ve elevated the design for today´s tennis players by incorporating innovations from the previous nine generations.
For the Blade 98 18×16 V10 racquet, we´ve increased the profile height by 1 mm at the top of the head to create a subtle taper that enhances racquet head stability and injects a dose of power.
We´ve also updated the layered construction to provide an industry-leading 3 degrees of torsional stability without sacrificing the signature Blade feel.
The 18×16 string pattern generates greater power for powerful shots, while the Championship Green adds a vibrant splash of color to the court.
