Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson's Blade performance rackets remain the preferred choice of avid competitors seeking ultimate control, feel and stability. A lighter and more manageable racket for effortless swings, the Blade 101L V9 improves on the V8's outstanding design by sharpening response and increasing stability. With a new emerald night green matte finish and a slightly thicker frame, this racket offers players an optimal blend of control, feel and power.
