Blade V8 Noir

[sixtyseries]

Anybody know about the Blade Noir series possibly coming? Heard a Wilson rep mention it a while back but just saw photos online of a 100L in a foreign country. I like the green, but would definitely be into a factory blacked out frame.

 

[H22 fan]

That pj looks awsome!

Probably what they will release as a special edition for the last year of V8 production before the V9 comes out.

Seems like the timeline is sooner than next year with these videos and photos coming out.

 

[lim]

is this another us open special like the reflective ones from last year?

The Noir series is for the Clash 100 Blade 98 16x19 Pro Staff 97 and Ultra 100. Timing is around the US Open and the price should be the same as the regular retail versions. No Burn or Shift.

 

[Mischko]

Pro Staff 97 v14 315g pls?

Can’t wait, love the bit of gloss at the top of the hoop and the glossy logo accents. Glad there appears to be no kitschy designs on this one.

 

[artdeco]

Shame no Blade 18x20.

 

[Geoff]

Pro Staff 97 v14 315g pls?

Yes

 

[Mircat]

Amazingly!! I’ve been on the hunt for a night session with no luck!!

 

[tx10is]

This looks really nice, but since it doesn't come in 18x20 I can avoid the temptation. holding out for the v9

Doubt it as the US Open already has a special edition this year, all white with a blue throat. Pretty ugly if you ask me.

I need this all blacked out Blade ASAP!!!

 

[Strange hit]

When will it be available on the market?

 

[TR3NT]

Already play with a couple of Night Session Blade V8 16x19 but since I am a sucker for a blacked out racquet might need to get some of these also.

 

[fox]

Another matte frames. Can we get finally one black glossy paintjob?

 

[Mircat]

At least the hoop is gloss!

My club in Chicago is a Wilson club, I think we have a few in the pro shop last I was in there. What model and grip size do you need?

Oh yea?! WELL ITS ALL ABOUT 16x19 ANYWAY PUNK (or 16x20)

L3. I'm going to hold off for the Noir as it sans silly glow in the dark stripes.

 

[mpournaras]

I think blacked out is overdone and lazy now. We can come back to it in a few years but lets get more creative people!

Well there's always the Rafa Origin thingy like rackets for the rest of you. Yellow, Pink, baby blue what's not to like!

 

[Tan Tennis]

Looking nice..

[Mircat]

Agreed!

 

[Mircat]

My local shop had 2 noirs left they could spec for me:

307g 314mm 291 SW
306g 321mm 297 SW

Given these figures I figured I'd wait for a week or so for his next batch to arrive. I know some ppl woulda loved that 297SW. Splurging on two more v8 blades puts the v9 on the backburner I guess but oh well it's such a good stick!!

dang that looks nice. so it color transitions? I wouldn't be mad if they used that for the v9 too.

I don't think there is any color shift in this Noir series.

oh ok. on his picture of the side of the frame that says blade it looks different but i guess its just the lighting. still looks pretty good.

 

[sixtyseries]

Yea, I see that. Would be pretty sick if it did. Guessing it's just the lighting. Agreed, can't wait to pick one up.

 

[Mircat]

No colour shift. Just matte black and gloss hoop.

 

[fox]

Great paintjob. Is it only for Blade?

 

[LevinaMax]
