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.

StableFeel technology enhances the racket’s sharp response and the feel of its control-oriented string pattern.
