Expert Review

As a control racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 69 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 304 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x20 string pattern (dense) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 20/100 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. It is best suited for intermediate advanced players.

User Feedback

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.
