Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v10

The Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v10 is built for control-focused intermediate to advanced players looking for a competitive edge through precision, stability, and confident shot-making. It delivers the signature Blade feel with added aggression and responsiveness for players who like to swing big and dictate play.

The 98 square inch head and dense 18x20 string pattern provide a controlled, precise response, allowing players to target their shots with confidence. At 305g unstrung with a 7 pts head light balance, this Blade offers a stable yet manoeuvrable feel, supporting aggressive swings while maintaining control through contact. Its compact head size and tighter string spacing reward clean ball striking, creating a predictable, consistent response across the string bed that suits players who generate their own pace.

Blade v10 introduces its most significant performance updates to date. The new Turbo Taper beam design, featuring a variable thickness from 21.5mm to 20.5mm, helps players drive through the ball more effectively for increased aggression. StableFeel+ enhances stability and responsiveness, giving players the confidence to swing freely in high-pressure moments. These updates build on Blade’s proven technologies, including FORTYFIVE° for a more connected response, DirectConnect for improved handle stability, and Parallel Drilling for a more consistent and forgiving string bed. Together, these elements create a racquet that blends precision with a more powerful, modern feel.

The Blade 98 18x20 v10 stays true to its control-focused identity while adding a new level of stability and attacking potential. It allows advanced players to swing aggressively, take control of rallies, and execute with confidence, all while maintaining the connected, predictable response that defines the Blade series.
