Wilson Blade 98 16x19 V10 Tennis Racket

The Ultimate Control Racket — Updated for the Modern Player

Wilson's Blade performance tennis rackets deliver perfect control to dominate in big moments. For the 10th edition of this iconic franchise, we've elevated the design for the modern player, incorporating insights from nine generations of innovation.

For the Blade 98 16x19 V10, we raised the beam height in the upper hoop by 1mm to create a subtle taper that improves racket head stability and injects a dose of effortless power for extra aggression. We also upgraded the layup to deliver an industry-leading 3 degrees of torsional stability while maintaining Blade's signature feel. The open string pattern generates greater capacity for power and spin, and the Championship Green color is sure to pop on court.

**Pros often customize the racket they use. Racket specifications on endorsed consumer models may vary from the models used by Pros for match-play.
