New Blades

[parasailing]

Great to hear the geometry of the racquet is the same. What is the stiffness and SW of the new one? I definitely love the 18x20 version as the 16x19 is not as solid and doesn't have the control of the 18x20.

Agreed. @PeterFig?

But will Wilson offer a 18X20 stick?

Saw the Blades in person today and swung them. Cool looking. The pj just looks unfinished. It'll grow on me since I'm planning to get the new 16x19.

Nice the final racquet among 3 I will be testing out.

Ugly PJ. That huge neon green Wilson lettering on the throat is obnoxious.

PJ like Walmart. New pro staff black ones looks better in hand.

I prefer the new pj to the current one, especially the 16x19. Wasn't a fan of the lime green bumpers and I don't think the older black ones fit the new drill pattern.

@PeterFig are you authorized to share stiffness and SW? I assume weight and balance will be similar to previous version. Thanks!

I don't really care about the paintjob.
I am curious about the way it plays.
Hopefully some minor improvements and not much different from my 2013 blade.

Current Paintjob looks better in my opinion.

Yes it is...

It can be done...2013 16x19 black grommets on the green 2015. I've seen one done on friends University of Nebraska's team. He said their stringer did it for him.

 

[TennisHound]

I've done it.

Agree

i like the current blade pj better than the new photos, but reserve the right to change my opinion once i see the physical racquet.

Agree with that too,but I do not think that you're gonna change your mind once you see it in the flesh.

Do you own, or yet play tested, the new Wilson Blade SW 104 Countervail Autograph?

How is it? THANKS!!

Some TW players complain about Control & Manageability...
