Wilson Blade 98 18x20 V10.0

For the first time the Blade has a tapered frame, and on the 18x20 version that means easier power with the same precise control. The dense pattern flattens the trajectory, and you feel the ball distinctly on the strings. Its 305 g works for you on the shot: there is enough mass to keep an opponent under pressure from the baseline.

Choosing between it and the Blade 98 16x19 is simple, as only the strings differ. If you spin the ball heavily, take 16x19; if you hit flatter and value control, take 18x20. StableFeel+ reduces wobble off centre, FORTYFIVE tunes the flex, and Direct Connect links the head to the handle. Intermediate and advanced players will get the most from it.
