Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson's Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of advanced competitors looking for responsive control, feel and stability. The Blade 98 (16x19) v9 tennis racket has a sharper, more stable response that produces a solid connected-to-the-ball feel. StableFeel technology enhances the racket's sharp response and the feel of its control-oriented 16x19 string pattern while the braided graphite/basalt and DirectConnect carbon fiber handle enhance torsional stability. The US Open 2025 Edition cosmetic features an NYC-inspired finish.
