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. A lighter and more maneuverable racket for effortless swings, the Blade 101L V9 improves upon the outstanding design of the V8 by sharpening responses and increasing stability. Featuring a new Emerald Night Green matte finish and a slightly thicker beam, this racket gives players an optimal blend of control, feel and power. Its braided graphite + basalt frame with DirectConnect carbon fiber handle delivers improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
