The Blade 100UL v9 offers a crisper and more stable response which results in a more connected-to-the-ball feel and an easier swinging experience suitable for beginners, strong juniors to experienced club players looking for control with light weight performance.
At 100 square inches, the average headsize brings a balance between power and control potential. The open string pattern enhances string movement for easier access to spin while inducing some trampoline effect for increased power generation. At 9.3 ounces unstrung, this model will enable an easier swinging experience for those who can't handle the heavier variants. This weight makes it easier to access power and spin for a more dynamic game. The balance of this racquet is not quite as head-light as the heavier variants which results in some additional stability, beneficial for lighter weight racquets if you want to increase your power or return a stronger player's ball.
Wilson has updated the Blade series with a new Emerald Night matte finish and a braided graphite basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber handle for enhanced torsional stability. StableFeel technology bolsters the frame’s resistance to twisting and bending, providing a more connected feel and a firmer grip on the ball.
Fans of the Blade series of racquets will find the control and feel that the series is known for in a lightweight package, perfect for players with full swings but not as much strength.
