This racquet packs the pinpoint precision and outstanding feel that has attracted generations of players to the Blade formula. In addition to its classic 21mm box beam and 16x19 string pattern, the Blade 98 16x19 features a sub-330 swing weight, giving it impressive speed while still delivering the needed heft to absorb and redirect the pace of big hitters. Like its predecessor, this update incorporates Direct Connect Technology, fusing the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber handle for increased stability. It also retains Wilson's FortyFive layup technology, which increases lateral flexibility to complement the explosive vertical mechanics of the modern game (think spin). New for 2025 is StableFeel technology, which introduces a slightly firmer layup for greater stability and easier access to power. Experienced ball strikers will appreciate the new Clip & Go grommet system, which not only locks down the bumper but also makes for easier grommet replacement. Ultimately, with this update, Wilson keeps a good thing going. Intermediate and advanced players looking for controllable power and outstanding feel will love this one. DirectConnect and Braided Graphite + Basalt composition ensure superior feel and control, while Parallel Drilling offers a consistently forgiving string bed response. The Blade 98 v9 stands as a game-changing tool, delivering unmatched stability, control, and a heightened connection for players aiming for victory.
