WILSON Blade 98 V8 Tennis Racquet - 4-1/4 Grip

The Blade 98 v8 is a mid and back court oriented racquet with a solid feel, designed for advanced players who desire a smooth, stable feel, control, and maneuverability. This top-selling racquet is very popular among college team players.

The v8 (eighth version) of the Blade, like the V7, features 21st-century computer-generated carbon mapping that provides high torsional stiffness to maintain control while also delivering a soft, controlled feel. In the V7, this technology was called Feel Flex, and in the V8, it has been renamed FortyFive.

The result is a soft-feeling, supple, highly controllable, all-court racquet. This contrasts with the older, softer flex racquets that were soft all over, sacrificing control.

Additionally, the V8 incorporates Direct Connect Technology, which fuses the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber portion of the handle, enhancing stability.

The Blade 98 v8 18x20 is recommended for advanced players who seek a smooth, stable feel, control, maneuverability, and back-court power. It is a mid and back-court oriented racquet with a solid feel.

In comparison, the Blade 16x19 is a more net and center-court oriented racquet.
