The ultimate control racket gets updated for the modern player.

Wilson's Blade performance tennis rackets deliver perfect control to dominate in big moments. For the 10th edition of this iconic franchise, we've elevated the design for the modern player, incorporating insights from nine generations of innovation. For the Blade 98 18x16 V10, we raised the beam height in the upper hoop by 1mm to create a subtle taper that improves racket head stability and injects a dose of effortless power for extra aggression. We also updated the layup to deliver an industry-leading 3 degrees of torsional stability while maintaining the Blade's signature feel. The 18x16 string pattern creates devastating spin, and the Championship Green color is sure to pop on court.
