Wilson Blade 100L V8

The Blade 100L v8 has an eye-catching design that comes with the series’ enhanced feel and flexibility paired with an easier swinging experience suitable for beginners, strong juniors to experienced club players.
At 100 square inches, the average headsize brings a balance between power and control potential. The open string pattern enhances string movement for easier access to spin while inducing some trampoline effect for increased power generation. The racquet’s slightly lighter than average weight brings stability with maneuverability for a balance of power and control and an easier swinging experience than the heavier members of the Blade series. The headlight balance of this racquet enhances a dynamic game’s power and touch with faster racquet head speed for improved spin and power generation paired with quick and decisive volleys. The racquet is also quite flexible allowing for a longer dwell-time (the time the ball is in contact with the strings) and therefore an increased feel for the ball.
Wilson has updated the Blade series with some key technologies: FORTYFIVE, first used in the Clash series as FreeFlex, is a material construction process that increases the flexibility and stability of the racquet while DirectConnect fuses the handle directly to the buttcap which further enhances stability.
Players looking for the Blade look and feel but require a lighter racquet should look at the Blade 100L.
