Thats why you give them to a friend you don't follow to post on their IG. No trail back to you, you dont get in trouble.Yeah, I posted some on my IG last week and had to take them down. Didn't know info wasn't out yet.

Just make sure nothing in the picture can be used to identify you of course
I have hit new 16x19 for 3 hours, for sure the clash technology in. Love the serve, and spin, depth comes easily, very soft, I guess still under 60. But, I don't like the feel, feel a little disconnected, and inconsistent string bed.
Love the look btw.
Thanks! I will try. 16x19 doesn't give me a "WOW", I hope 18x20 will.Nice man. I have a feeling the way to go with the Blade is the 18x20 pattern. It should solve the inconsistency of the string bed and give you more of a connected feel.
the 16x19 blade is still a fairly dense pattern
yeah im a little worried it will feel even more rubbery and disconnected than the countervail version.It’s tough to choose one for me. I used the 18x20 and gravitate towards that. I remember the 16x19 didn’t really do much for me, but it was years ago.
The deciding factor may be the softness. The 18x20 will provide a lot more ball feel, especially since to so many people say that the clash tech robs frames of ball feel.
If it's anything like the clash, get ready for some power hotspots in the stringbed.It’s tough to choose one for me. I used the 18x20 and gravitate towards that. I remember the 16x19 didn’t really do much for me, but it was years ago.

Why are there so many rookies in this thread who have tried the new Blade? And all their reviews are basically one liners?

All the more reason to go 18x20, moderate tension, to gain some consistency.

I know right, I’ve got my tinfoil hat on today...I dont think everything is a conspiracy. For example, Ryan has 124 posts. Thats a decent amount of effort just to pop in and say he kind of liked the new Blade but didn’t love it.
Thanks, it's not formal review, just my 2 cents. You can tell if sth is a good fit from first sec, such as test driving a car. I like the feel of Tec 315 Ltd, Angell K7, Vcore Pro 97, CX200 tour, Pacific Tour Pro 97, as well as old prestiges. I haven't got such feel of new blade 16x19. I used to hit with 18x20 CV, and I would say 18x20 CV is doing better for me, hopefully new 18x20 could give me better feel. Just a reference and I don't know if I would spend more time on this new 16x19.Why are there so many rookies in this thread who have tried the new Blade?

Samemeanwhile ultra tours are on clearance for $139 ... im tempted to stock up just bc we’ll never get them again
I wish Wilson just release a ultra tour with leather grip and 16x19 pattern...It will sell well....meanwhile ultra tours are on clearance for $139 ... im tempted to stock up just bc we’ll never get them again
From the shop, I got blade strung with Wilson revolve pro @52lb, while my Tec, CX200 tour are normally strung with hybrid with multi on main, poly on cross, mid 40s, and I weighed them up with lead tape..I would say blade is with easier access to spin, power maybe a little bit more, but since I miss the feel as well as the pop, I am not swinging 100% confidently, and I don't feel it brings extra power. One thing I feel the little bit more power is serve, I serves good with blade.Appreciate the feedback since I like the feel of the same frames you do. I would imagine the new Blade has more power than those, or no?
funny, the 16x19 thing was what i thought immediately after i posted that. its really my only issue with the frame, otherwise i just add some lead at 3 and 9.I wish Wilson just release a ultra tour with leather grip and 16x19 pattern...It will sell well....
That’s what everyone wishesI wish Wilson just release a ultra tour with leather grip and 16x19 pattern...It will sell well....
Then Wilson should listen to our voice.That’s what everyone wishes

Argghh!! Just when I was coming out of racquetholism rehab...I will say, if you like the Blade line you will want to demo the newest. Can’t wait for everyone’s details and thoughts when officially announced [emoji1360]

Seriously I need to get my internet provider to put a child block on this website... hah..No rehab whilst on TT boards
There were lots of people who liked CV Blade. There is no way they will like spaghetti clash blade.
I didn’t find enough difference in the CV model to update from my 2015 Blade. The new Blade plays very different from the. Lash with the same tech. Feels VERY solid and forgiving at the same time.

What’s the power level like? And did you use the 18x20?
This was the best part about String Forum. People would post good info and pretty solid reviews and would actually post pics... but that site is dying/is dead. It is a darn shame.It’s amazing how much real information on the new Blade there is in this thread.

Why post bits? But, I detect some sarcasm, as if to say “There are bits of vague information in this thread, why in the world would you want anymore than that?”Bits of info are already here in the thread.
For us racquet-holics, it gives us something to look forward to in August. In the meantime, gonna get a Gravity Pro to hold me over until the Blade is released in August. I just hoped they keep the list price the same as the CV and not try to jack the price to $249 list.
Live by the blade...die by the blade...
