Introducing the Wilson Blade 98 16x19 v10 US Open! Featuring the same specs and playability as the standard version, this racquet's cosmetic is inspired by the US Open! In addition to its spin-friendly targeting and exceptional ball feedback, this stick packs a sub-325 swingweight, giving it a speedy feel on groundies and volleys. It also provides a very predictable response, making it easy to swing bigger when loading the ball with pace and spin. 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 16x19 v10 US Open is ideal for intermediate and advanced players looking for controllable power and great feel. The US Open cosmetic is a nice touch.
