blade

I imagine quite a few people have turned to the dark side and see the appeal in spinny/powerful racquets. I think the options for this type are also more balanced, refined and attractive. I also imagine that some are tired of so many racquets optimizing for that and want something more...

Tfight 300s vs Blade 98 (16x19) Which one is better in your personal opinion? (Please give us some reasoning and also love some string recommendation for each of the frame)

I recently made a switch from a Blade v8 98S to the v5 from 2015. I made the switch entirely based on reading these forums, as I was searching for a firmer feel and liked what I got from the nice second hand sticks I bought. But seeing how I never experienced the v5 Blades when they were new, I...

Looking for a recommendation for next demo . All court player with 1 handed backhand. Coming from Pro Staff 97 v13, weighted up to 345gr. strung with SW around 330. Also using alongside Aero 98, also slightly weighted up to 340 strung and 337 SW. I am searching something with the positives...

Hi everyone, I recently demoed the Wilson Blade V9 Pro 16x19 and loved how it felt! However, I’m new to customizing rackets and would like some advice on how to add lead tape to my current Wilson V9 16x19 to match the specs of the Pro version. Here are the specs of my current rackets: 1...

Hi Folks, I just happen tp love the classic ProStaff handle shape (not the buttcap, the rectangular section itself): I own both PS90 and RF97 and, for whatever reason, their handle feels just perfect to my hand, especially when it rests for the OHBH execution - sensation is that it could lay...

Hi just wondering what everyone's done to customize their blades and the strings and tensions that are in them. (Unstrung) 310 g 31.5 cm 305 SW Currently has ALU power at 50/48 lb

Just like title says, first time in my recreational playing career (4.0 player) that I've ever gotten tennis elbow. I've been experimenting like crazy the last few years with sticks and strings setups to understand what I like and don't like. 99% of the time I'm playing doubles. I grew up...

Hello! Please help me decide. I’m currently playing with the Tecnifibre TF40 305 16/19 (2022), and overall I like it, but I’m looking for a more maneuverable racket and something lighter on swings from the baseline and at the net. I’m now considering the Wilson Blade V9 305 16/19. Will this...

Hi! I would appreciate hearing your opinions on this. I have been using my old Flexpoint Radical Tour 100sq (2005 I guess) for several years now..... THE SPECS 100 sq 325g (unstrung) 347g (strung) Balance point 315mm (unstrung)/ 8 pts HL 16x19 21mm beam 57 lbs I can say that I still like...

Curious for the kblade experts opinion on this... I've become somewhat intrigued by the Kblade pro stock. I'm tired of dampening and tech and just want a pure/direct feel that is kind of missing from new racquets. I loved my Ultra Tours and have collectively used an Ultra Tour or Pro for 3...

Hello everyone! I play regularly and have been taking lessons for 2 years (previously, I only played occasionally as a self-taught player), and I'd like to start understanding a little more about racquet features and maybe find a new one for an upgrade. Here’s where I’m at: I’m 37, 170 cm tall...

I own Gravity Pro, Blade v9 98 16x19 added 8g at 3&9(315g unstrung) and pure aero rafa 2023 added 15g at throat(305g unstrung). My main racquet is gravity pro as I enjoy feeling and low launch angle from dense in addition to great control. Blade also doing really great but I found Im not a...

How do these racquets compare to the TF40?

hey all, bought my last set of rackets off someone here but now that it's been... 9 years (!!!)... i'm in need of some advice haha my racket journey: microgel extreme mp - given to me when i started, loved the spin and power, broke a lot of strings, added lead at 3&9 for stability youtek speed...

Hi all, Looking for some advice. I play club tennis in UK - not sure how best to describe my ability but we have 7 doubles leagues in our county (Worcestershire) and I mainly play in the 2/3rd tier. I play mainly from the back of court, have a pretty decent forehand and steady 2 handed...

I recently got my hands on a pro stock blade v4 with V8 pjs and have been really enjoying it. I have been spending time researching the different blades out there and the H22, and I am trying to decide whether to get another one or try H22s but I have no idea what they are like. What are the...

hey guys i want controlled racket from these two as mentioned i have been using demo racket of both of them but i am not able to select between them them please help

Hi, my triax 16 is there. Recently, i used solinco hyper G Soft 18. Easy on the arm, the crispness is awesome but only last for 1 session. After that, tension felt dropped too much, still have nice spin but launch angle kinda far. Looking for a string good at hold tension (better than poly)...

Would love to have a reference for some rackets that came in. Thank you everyone for all the help!

I will start my series of 7Frames Tests – which will consist of different packages of tested frames. Even if they will be new ones, I will be testing them along with some classics and competitive frames from other manufactures. I will be testing today new HEAD adn Tecnifibre frames: –– Head...

I'm considering if I should buy one of these two racquets? Have you used either? Tell me everything about them! Thanks!

Um so if anyone hasn't noticed, in celebration of Serena's 40th birthday people in Australia can go in a draw to win a hand-signed Blade 104SW from Wilson Australia! Oh and you can still buy a Blade 102SW at 40%(really 43%) off. Grab one now if anyone has been itching to lol. A little different...

Where do you guys tie off your mains on a Blade 98 16x19, V7/V8, assuming they have the same stringing pattern. I started stringing just recently and haven't strung many different racquets yet. I looked up the stringing instructions for this one and Wilson says to tie off mains at 5H, which I...

Hey Y'all, I saw around that there is a new Wilson blade generation coming out soon from a few college tennis players hitting them around! Apparently, there's a really "unique" new paint job with the new blades that change color from a brownish to a greenish shimmer when moved around sort of...

I'm working on a video where I thoroughly breakdown my first impressions on a TenX racket. They're an up and coming racket company from Australia with some international presence. Maybe you've heard of them. Anyway, I do somewhat of a teardown and I talk in detail about my observations and...

Hello, I've been learning to play tennis for almost 2 years and am currently using Babolat Pure Drive Team. It's a fine racket especially for baseline groundstrokes. However, the racket seems a bit harsh for me. So I'm looking for a new racket that's not as harsh on the arm and in addition...

RA 62 328gr strung with overgrip 336sw Lux Alu soft 19m/18c kg v7 blade with glossy paint. Basically custom paint v7 everyone can get... https://www.supertennis.tv/Rubriche/Conosci-i-tuoi-campioni/Tutti-i-segreti-della-racchetta-di-Sonego-il-peso-e-normale-ma-le-corde%E2%80%A6

I grew up playing with the Sampras's Pro Staff (95 in' though).. Then a few years ago switched to Blade 98 16X19. I want to buy another racket to pair with it, and feel like getting a different one which won't feel too different. Very tempted to try the Pro Staff 97S v13, which reminds me the...

Out of curiosity which is closest to the Blade v7 18x20? I've been reading that both Head racquets are similar to some degree to the Blade, but curious as to what characteristics they all share and which are the outliers. I'm aware of the TF40 being a direct comparison, more interested in other...
