Optimized Title: WILSON Blade 104 v8 Tennis Racquet

Wilson's iconic Blade series has been updated to version 8 for 2021! The Blade 104 v8 combines a captivating design with a new layup, better accommodating the more modern, vertical swing path commonly used by competitive players. The headline innovation in Wilson's all-new version 8 Blade is FORTYFIVE, which manages to increase both the flexibility and stability of the frame, providing a supreme feel for the ball on every shot.

Still characterized by its superior presence in the hands of the world's best players, this evolution of the Blade rewards aggressive, precise ball-strikers with a top-tier blend of connected-to-the-ball feel, torsional stability, and a color-shifting design to impress teammates and opponents alike.

Another great update to the Blade v8 is DirectConnect, in which Wilson extends the carbon fiber handle to connect directly to the end cap, improving feel and enhancing torsional stability. Wilson also includes "Top Grip Taper," which provides a better feel for top-hand grip placement.

Wilson continues the use of a Braided Graphite + Basalt composition, which improves the flex of the racquet to produce enhanced feel and control. Parallel Drilling provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response, while the Ergonomic End Cap helps yield improved comfort and playability.

Overall, the Blade 104 v8 features a slightly larger 104 square-inch head, with a solid 11-ounce strung weight and a more open 16x19 string pattern – all adding up to a frame that fits a wide range of players seeking a nice punch of power to go with the Blade's patented feel and control.
