Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson performance racquets remain the preferred choice of avid competitors seeking ultimate control, feel and stability. The Blade 98S V9 offers a crisper, more stable response that delivers a stronger ball feel. With a new Emerald Night matte finish, the V9 features a graphite + basalt braided frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber grip for improved torsional stability. It also features the most open string pattern, allowing for a more forgiving response and the highest potential for producing strong spin.
