The Blade 98 v8 is a mid and back court oriented racquet designed for advanced players who desire a smooth, stable feel, exceptional control, and maneuverability. It is a top-selling racquet that is very popular among college team players.
The v8 (eighth version) of the Blade, like the V7, features 21st century computer-generated carbon mapping technology to provide high torsional stiffness, which helps maintain control and delivers a soft, controlled feel. This technology, previously known as "Feel Flex" in the V7, has been renamed "FortyFive" in the v8.
The result is a soft, supple, highly controllable all-court racquet. In contrast, older technology softer flex racquets were soft all over, leading to less control.
Additionally, the Blade 98 v8 incorporates Direct Connect Technology, which fuses the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber portion of the handle, providing enhanced stability.
The racquet is sold pre-strung with quality soft polyester string. Customers are encouraged to contact the retailer immediately after purchase to discuss string options.
Compared to the Blade 16x19, the 98 v8 is a more mid and back court-oriented racquet with a solid feel, while the 16x19 is more net and center court-focused.
