Our playtesters found this Blade 98 16x19 v9 to be an all-around performer that delivers feel with balanced power and control. Comparing it to the previous version, they noted improved stability and depth control with easy access to spin.

The Wilson Blade 100 v9 is considered one of the best hidden gems in the sport by our playtest team, and it shouldn’t be overlooked by players of any level or game style. Sporting strikingly beautiful teal cosmetics, the small updates to this generation of the Blade 100 allows fans of the previous generations to make an easy transition.

In this review I will be play testing the Wilson Blade 98 V9 16×19. This model is 98 square inch head size and has an unstrung weight of 305g. The string pattern is 16×19 pretty standard, less dense than the 18×20 and more topspin friendly. We have already mentioned the beautiful new Blade V9 cosmetic.
