Sharpen your performance with the Wilson Blade 98 18X20 V9 tennis racket in Racing Green, an updated edition of the most popular racket on the Pro Tour, bringing the ultimate blend of control, feel, and stability to the court.

After nearly 20 years of popularity, the Wilson Blade is back to connect aggressive players to the ball. Designed for avid competitors seeking to improve their game, the V9 has a sharper, more stable response than previous iterations, producing an excellent connected-to-the-ball feel. It features a stunning new green paintjob with pops of orange and a matte finish that complements the sharp responses of the frame. With an elastic and reactive Braided Graphite + Basalt material composition that improves the flex of the racket, the V9 enhances feel and control. Featuring FORTYFIVE technology in the layup, the braided fibres are arranged at 45-degree angles to allow the braid to “breathe” upon ball impact, meaning the V9 increases both flexibility and stability to suit the more modern, vertical swing path of attacking players.

Innovative StableFeel technology provides a firmer feel than previous generations, increasing stability and delivering an improved sensation upon impact with the ball, while the dense 18x20 string pattern enhances the feel, precision, and control of your flatter shots. For improved stability lower down, DirectConnect sees the carbon fibre handle extend to directly connect with the end cap, better integrating the two and making the entire racket feel more natural as you play your shots. Furthermore, a Top Grip Taper provides a better feel for top-hand grip placement, and the Blade V9 retains Parallel Drilling at the grommets for a more forgiving sweetspot. The latest bumper and grommet design is easier to apply, more durable, and completes the racket with a smoother finish.
