Wilson`s Blade 98 18x20 v9 Demo Tennis Racquet enhances the frame with STABLEFEEL. The new Blade technology provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel.

The result is a marked improvement in torsional stability. Also with v9, a new click-and-go grommet system is easier to replace and more durable than previous versions. The new emerald green color brings a new look for the v9, and for seasoned players who crave control and a crisp clean feel at contact, the v9 Blade will not disappoint.
