This control-oriented weapon partners exceptionally well with players able to generate their own power.

All-up, Wilson’s freshest Blade line-up caters seamlessly to the contemporary, hard-hitting player.

As the top-played racquet family on Tour, you know Wilson has got it right – putting in your hand slimmer beams for optimal flex. Setting you up with advanced racquet technology, they consistently deliver satisfying ball connection to motivate you to attack your rival and take command of every point.

Following player feedback and insight gained from the development of the Clash racquets, Wilson has stripped out the vibration dampening Countervail technology of earlier Blades in preference for superior feedback to create a more satisfying court experience.

The new Blades are upgraded with Wilson’s innovative Top Grip Taper to improve the top-hand comfort of two-handed backhand grip – so this is a stick you’d be happy to have glued to your hands.

Decreased variance in the specs between Blade family members ensures consistent performance throughout the line-up – coupled with a versatile selection of head sizes, string patterns and swing weights to personalise your play.

Bold design elements create a sharp, tour-ready look. This elegant paint job transfers the striking lime of the Blade series to twelve o’clock to create a rush of colour as you slice it through the air. It’s coupled with a matt black body with stylish silver-grey accents for a touch more flair.

In its seventh iteration, Wilson have re-engineered the Blade to outplay your opponent and your earlier self with the next generation of feel, while staying true to the formula that makes it a must-have among devoted Blade fans.
