    Racquet advice - stiffer Blade 16x19

    Hi I'm looking for a stiffer version of the Wilson Blade 98 16x19. I loved the V9 but wanted a stiffer feel, slightly more free power. I've ruled out a few immediately, Head Radical 23/25 (I don't like auxetic) any technifibre racket as I can't gel with the grip size, although like the more...

    Upgrading from prince textreme tour 290 - similar but increased stability?

    Really like the feel of the textreme tour but at 290 grams, it isn't the most stable against bigger hitters. Obviously the 310 version is a natural consideration, but i haven't been hugely impressed with how the rackets have held up over time (build quality) so considering a move to a different...

    Blade V9 16x19 Vs TFight 305s

    Hello I'm struggling to choose which racket to get. I'm airing more towards the Tfight but have heard it's very string sensitive which is off-putting. For those who have tried both, what are your thoughts? Thanks!

    Suggestions for Racquet Switch

    Hey folks, I am playing a bit more often now and getting back into the swing of things. I am wondering if I should go back to the Blade after almost a decade when I used the BLX Blade 98 18x20. I rely on my serve and I have pretty much flat forehand it all the time. I use a 1HBH and I use slices...

    Need advise - Radical MP Auxetic x Blade v8/9 16x19 x Speed MP

    Hello everyone! So, I used to play tennis in my teens, from the age 11 to age 19. Back then, i think i was a 4.0 or 4.5. I'm not really sure, because i'm from Brazil. My first brand new racquet was a Head intelligence i.Radical MP, with 98 square inches head size with 18x20 strings and 295...

    Which Wilson Blade?

    I'm trying to decide which Wilson Blade to get. I demoed the v8 16x19 and enjoyed it, although it felt heavier than what I usually use. I think I'd get used to the weight quickly though. I've heard good things about the 18x20 models and the v5, so I'm considering those. I've also demoed the Head...

    Describe the Blade V8 feel (POLL!!)

    Hit with the Blade V8 (18x20) awhile back when it came out, struck me as a little, what I'd call, "muted." For me that means it felt like I didn't always know where on the stringbed I was hitting the ball. I am going to demo this racquet again soon, in the mean time.. How would you describe the...

    Help - switching to lighter Racquet 290

    Hi! I play tennis for the past 6 years, and so far I have been using Prince Textreme 100 P (305G). I have been having control issues and my wrist starts to "flap" after an hour, so I would like to change to a lighter racquet, 285-290. I am looking between Wilson Blade (V8 or old?) - vs Yonex...

    Racquet Change advice

    Hi, first post on here so I hope I'm posting in the right section. I'm a college player and I play with the Head Radical MP (16x19), but recently tested a Wilson Blade 18x20. I have very loopy topspin groundstrokes, so I have never had a good relationship with 18x20 patterns, but really...

    Handle vibration with the new Blade 98 CV

    Just picked up 3 new CV Blade 98 18x20s. I'm getting a heavy vibration from one in the handle. The other two are ok. I've popped the handle and looked at the grip and frame. No cracks, nothing out of the ordinary. All three look and feel the same... everything seems to be in order. Any...

    Alternatives for a racquet that is no longer made

    Hi guys, I recently got the opportunity to hit with a friends racquet. It was a Head Radical Mp 18x20. I think it was from 2013, and as such it has been discontinued. I really clicked with that racquet. I felt totally in control with placement, and didn't feel like I needed to hold back on...
