Introducing the Blade 104 v9! Defined by its generous 104 in² head size, this is the most forgiving and powerful member of the Blade family. In addition to its extended 27.5″ length (which provides easier power on groundies and serves), the Blade 104 packs enough spin potential to bring the ball down on target. As with the previous generation, this update is extremely maneuverable for an extended length racquet, making it great for scrambling on defense, hitting shots on the run or reacting quickly at net. Like its predecessor, this update incorporates Direct Connect Technology, fusing the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber handle for increased stability. It also retains Wilson’s FortyFive layup technology, which enhances lateral flexibility to complement the explosive vertical mechanics of the modern game (think heavy ball). New for 2024 is StableFeel technology, which introduces a slightly firmer layup for greater stability and easier access to power. Experienced ball strikers will appreciate the new Clip & Go grommet system, which not only locks down the bumper but also makes for easier grommet replacement. Ultimately, with minor tweaks to the feel and response, this update continues to be a great option for players who want the precision and feel of a Blade but in a more forgiving and powerful package.
