Haha, Right. I’m guessing they have the Clash matte pj only with green...I don’t want to jeopardize my security clearance!

Hey geoff. Do you agree that the grommet holes suddenly looks bigger than it ahould be as compared to other older version?I don’t want to jeopardize my security clearance!
Interesting anyone is hitting with this. I was just told they haven’t seeded any racquets yet, but maybe for official testers they have them (?). I am very excited to get my demo. Told not till the end of July but reps have samples [emoji6]
Glad to see they are keeping the 18x20.
It uses that Feelflex technology. It added 5g to weight and decreased balance 5mm to make slightly heavier and more headlight. Specs say basically they increased vertical and horizontal flex 20% and 11% respectively over the previous Blade, and increased torsion stability like 4%. Think that was already posted somewhere.
Paint is the standard green top with light grey sides and dark black matte bottom.
I expect we will see some brand ambassadors starting to show this and review VERY soon. [emoji1360]

It is still 304g. Unless you got a rare misprint sample which can goes up to pro stock prices.
Just like magic cards. People are willing to spend a crazy lot of money on misprint as they are rare.
If they went up 5 grams that would definitely change the blade dynamic a little bit. The blade has that combination of low weight and high swing weight that’s hard to find. There’s a very minimal amount of racquets that can get to 335 swing weight and keep it at it below 11.7 ounces, and with a good feel. On my 2015 blades I put 2.2 grams at 12 and 3 grams in the tail cap. An overgrip and I’m at ~335 swing weight, 4 pts headlight, and 11.7 ounces. Only racquet that can give me something similar is the project 17 and it’s a little harsh.

I did not notice that they were bigger but I’ll compare them to the current versions.Hey geoff. Do you agree that the grommet holes suddenly looks bigger than it ahould be as compared to other older version?
WOW Wilson is really outdoing themselves again. I am not a fan of this boring paint jobThe new Blades will have cosmetics similar to the Clash, with green instead of the orange.
Is the 3 and 9 areas also grey, and the rest black?The new Blades will have cosmetics similar to the Clash, with green instead of the orange.

even vs 2015.Any comparison with the previous version, i.e. 2019/20 vs. 2017/18?
Hello @Jster just strung 3 more new Blades and I don't think that the holes are different from the previous versions.
Grommets appear to be the same. Definitely have the insert on top.Hi Geoff, Do the new Blades have the weird little grommet insert at the top or is the top grommet all one piece?

So I wonder what color they will use for Pro Staffs??? White? Ugh.Yeah, looks like the newest series will follow the paint scheme of the Clash changing only the main color by model.

So is the release date July or August? I thought I heard mid August.Anyone who actually has them pre-release would be under a NDA and can’t comment yet. I didn’t know info hadn’t been released yet and had post just a pic of the PJ and within a few hours had a note from Wilson nicely asking I remove it until the release date mid July.
I know some people who have it, and I can only guess some say they do but really don’t. Those that do can only say so much though.
Call it the movie trailer, just giving glimpses at this point of the whole movie. [emoji1360]
