Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson's Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of avid competitors looking for ultimate control, feel and stability. A lighter and more maneuverable racket for effortless swings, the Blade 101L V9 improves upon the outstanding design of the V8 by sharpening responses and increasing stability. Featuring a new Emerald Night Green matte finish and a slightly thicker beam, this racket gives players an optimal blend of control, feel and power. Its braided graphite basalt frame with DirectConnect carbon fiber handle delivers improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
