At 104 square inches, the slightly larger headsize brings a more forgiving sweet spot with increased power potential. The open string pattern enhances string movement for easier access to spin and inducing some trampoline effect for increased power generation. The racquet’s average weight brings stability with maneuverability for a balance of power and control. The headlight balance of this racquet enhances a dynamic game’s power and touch with faster racquet head speed for improved spin and power generation paired with quick and decisive volleys. The racquet is also quite flexible allowing for a longer dwell-time (the time the ball is in contact with the strings) and therefore an increased feel for the ball. The extra length of the racquet provides further reach for easier court coverage.

Wilson has updated the Blade series with a new Emerald Night matte finish and a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber handle for enhanced torsional stability. StableFeel technology bolsters the frame’s resistance to twisting and bending, providing a more connected feel and a firmer grip on the ball.

As the overall specs of this racquet have stayed the same, players who have used previous generations of this racquet will appreciate the improved stability and feel achieved through Wilson’s technological improvements. With great ball feel, easier power and forgiving performance, this is in the sweet spot of racquets that will fit many players.
