BLADE 98 18X20 V9

With nearly two decades of dominance, Wilson's Blade Performance tennis rackets continue to be the preferred choice of avid competitive players seeking ultimate control, feel and stability. The Blade 98 (18 x 20) V9 offers sharper, more stable responsiveness and improved ball feel. Compared to Blade 98 (16 x 19) V9, the narrower string pattern brings even more control over the ball. Its all-new Emerald Night matte finish gives it a modern look, while the Braided Graphite + Basalt frame with DirectConnect carbon fiber handle provides improved torsional stability.
