A sharper, more stable Blade with a spin-focused string pattern that's ideal for avid players who want ultimate control and feel.

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 98S 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. It also features the most open string pattern, which in turn provides a more forgiving response and the most potential to generate heavy spin.
