With over 20 years of excellency and dozens of professional players using it, the 9th version of the Wilson Blade continues on with ultimate feel and control.  The v9 introduces StabilFeel, a new Blade technology that provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Designed with avid players in mind, this "sharper Blade" is ideal for those seeking to improve their game.  An often neglected area of a racquet is the grip/handle.  Wilson addresses this by adding Top Grip Taper, which  improves the feel of holding the handle on the upper part for 2-handed backhands. The DirectConnect tech is carbon fibers in the handle  that extend to the end cap for enhanced feel and torsional stability. Rounding out the line of tech in the racquet is the FortyFive and Parallel Drilling, found in many Wilson racquets over the years

Being the second lightest in the Blade family, intermediate to low advanced players will be able to put away points and blast serves with ease.  A baseline friendly head size coupled with a 16x19 pattern make this a very spin friendly racquet .  A higher flex rating gives the racquet more power, enabling the user to add pace to their shots.  Overall, beginners looking to move up from their starter racquet will greatly benefit from the Blade 100L v9.
