Wilson Blade 100L v8 Tennis Racket

Wilson's iconic Blade series has been updated to version 8 for 2021. The Blade 100L v8 features a captivating design paired with a new layup, better accommodating the more modern, vertical swing path commonly used by competitive players. The headline innovation of Wilson's all-new version 8 Blade is the FORTYFIVE technology, which manages to increase both the flexibility and stability of the frame, delivering 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 wow teammates and opponents alike. Another great update to the Blade v8 is the DirectConnect feature, in which Wilson extends the carbon fiber handle to connect directly to the end cap, improving feel and enhancing torsional stability.

Wilson has also included the "Top Grip Taper" feature, providing a better feel for top-hand grip placement. The continued use of a Braided Graphite + Basalt composition improves the flex of the racquet, producing 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 100L v8 features a 100 square-inch head, with a lighter 10.7 ounce-strung weight to go with a more open 16x19 string pattern, all adding up to that traditional feeling racquet tailored towards the transitioning junior or intermediate level player.
