The Wilson Blade 98 (16×19) V10 is the control player's weapon, reborn for 2026. Wilson overhauled the Blade with a new tapered beam that adds a subtle boost of power while protecting the pinpoint precision the Blade line is famous for.
Turbo Tape uses a variable beam (21.5mm→20.5mm) to unlock extra plow-through, StableFeel+ keeps the frame planted through contact, and Si3D tunes three-dimensional flex for a flexible, connected response. Built with Wilson's FORTYFIVE layup and DirectConnect handle for clean feedback and tighter torsional stability.
Specifications: 98 sq. in. head · 305 g unstrung · head-light balance · 27 in. · 16×19 pattern · beam 21.5–20.5 mm · 47–57 lb tension.
Who it's for: intermediate-to-advanced and competitive players who dictate from the baseline and want a flexible 16×19 string bed with genuine spin and tour-level control.
