Blade 100 v8 Tennis Racquet

Description

Wilson`s Blade 100 v8 Tennis Racquet represents a slick and sustainable new direction for one of the brand`s most popular tour frames. With v8, Wilson’s patent-protected FORTYFIVE° layup makes the Blade a perfect match for the more vertical swing plane in today’s modern game. The Blade is again focused on control and feel, with a good balance of stability with flexibility. The racquet’s cosmetic features a green to copper color shifting paint that transitions depending on the light. The Blade has been featured in green for a few generations, but now “green” doesn’t just refer to the cosmetic. The racquet head guard and grommets are created with AGIPLAST, a bio-based plastic that can also be found in the end cap. Wilson went under the hood and specifically under the grip 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 16% increase in torsional stability for greater power and feel. The 100 square inch head size, thicker beam, and lighter weight make this model easier to play than the Blade 98 versions. Features: -Chameleon Paint gives the new Blade a color-shifting look. -Bigger head, and more forgiving than the Blade 98 models -Plant-based plastics used for the racquet grommets and head guard. -FORTYFIVE° construction allows for a rare combination of flexibility and stability  -Direct Connect sees the end cap attached to carbon fiber beneath the grip, as opposed to foam   Head over to our blog to learn more about Wilson gear:  Top Tennis Racquets Blog Beginners Guide to Buying a Racquet
