Wilson`s Blade 98 v9 16x19 RG 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. This works hand in hand with Direct Connect technology, which connects the end cap to the carbon fiber, as opposed to the foam in the racquet handle. 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.
