BLADE 98 16X19 V10

Introducing the Blade 98 16×19 v10! One of the most popular models in the Blade family, this racquet combines a 98in² head with a 16×19 string pattern and sub-64 RA, giving it a seductive combination of spin, precision, and feel. Boasting a sub-325 swingweight, the Blade 98 is fast, making it easy to scramble on defense, react quickly at net, or swing bigger when loading the ball with pace and spin. Factor in the Blade’s undeniable precision, and you have the tools to hit your targets with pace. For 2026, Wilson overhauls the Blade 98 with a new tapered beam, delivering a slight boost in power while preserving the control for which this line is known. Additional technologies include StableFeel+ technology, which stiffens the horizontal flex, resulting in enhanced stability and less frame wobble on off-center hits. Wilson also tightens spec tolerances for weight, balance, and swingweight, making it easier to match multiple frames. As with the previous generation, the Blade 98 includes Wilson’s FORTYFIVE layup construction, which arranges the carbon fibers at a 45-degree angle to optimize the bending properties. Other features include Direct Connect Technology, which fuses the end cap directly to the handle for a more connected feel. Ultimately, the Blade 16×19 v10 is ideal for intermediate and advanced players looking for controllable power and great feel. The newly tapered beam marks an impressive evolution for the line.
