Positioned as a control frame, this racquet targets players seeking a specific balance of performance traits. The 104 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 62 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 289 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 40/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. The frame profile indicates a relatively low risk of arm-related discomfort. It is best suited for intermediate players.
Across threads, the Wilson Blade line is commonly praised for its control-oriented feel, connected response, and confidence on full swings. Many posters describe it as relatively arm-friendly for a 'player' frame (depending on version), while also noting it can be less forgiving on off-center contact than larger, more powerful frames.
