Wilson Blade 100 v9 Tennis Racquet

DESCRIPTION:

With nearly 20 years of dominance on the tennis court, Wilson's Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of avid competitors looking for ultimate control, feel and stability. The Blade 100 v9 turns heads with both its striking Emerald Night finish and its highly-tuned performance. Patented FORTYFIVE° carbon construction increases flexibility and stability to give the Blade its signature feel. Its slightly heavier frame and open 16x19 string pattern help advanced players generate all the power they need while providing ready access to devastating spin.

Features:

• Parallel Drilling - Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot.
  

• FORTYFIVE° - Patent-protected frame layup produces more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern, vertical swing path. Material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing.
  

• DirectConnect - Carbon fiber handle extends to directly connect with end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.
  

• Top Grip Taper - Tapered grip lends better feel for top-handed grip placement on two-handed backhand.
  

• StableFeel - The new Blade technology that provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Designed with avid players in mind, this "sharper Blade" is ideal for those seeking to improve their game.
