Wilson Blade 98 18x20 V9 Tennis Racquet - 2024

Introducing the Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v9. Defined by its dense 18x20 string pattern and flexible box beam, this update delivers the laser-like targeting and phenomenal ball feedback that has drawn generations of players to the Blade family. It also packs a 330 swingweight, enabling it to comfortably redirect higher levels of pace while also giving experienced players enough mass to drive the ball through the court. As with the previous generation, the Blade 98 18x20 v9 incorporates Direct Connect Technology, fusing the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber handle for increased stability. It also retains Wilson's FortyFive layup technology, which increases lateral flexibility to complement the explosive vertical mechanics of the modern game. New for 2024 is StableFeel technology, which introduces a slightly firmer construction for greater stability and easier access to power. Experienced ball strikers will appreciate the new Clip & Go grommet system, which not only locks down the bumper but also makes for easier grommet replacement. Ultimately, with subtle updates to the feel and response, the Blade 98 18x20 v9 continues to be an obvious option for experienced players looking for control and feel.
