Updated with a more modern and powerful beam for 2026.
Introducing the Blade 98 16x19 v10! As the most popular model in the Blade family, this racquet combines a control oriented 98 square inch head with a 16x19 string pattern and sub 64-RA, giving it a seductive combination of spin, precision, and feel. Boasting a sub 325 swingweight, the Blade 98 comes around fast, making it easy to react quickly 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 makes one of its biggest design changes since the Blade's inception, giving this racquet its first ever tapered beam. The result is an unmistakable boost in power. Additional updates 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 easer to match multiple frames. As with the previous generation, this racquet includes Wilson's FORTYFIVE layup construction, which arranges the carbon fibers at a 45-degree angle to optimize the bending properties. This racquet also features Direct Connect Technology, which fuses the end cap directly to the handle for a more connected feel. Ultimately, the Blade 16x19 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.
