The 2021 Wilson Blade V8 is the eighth version of the huge selling Blade series racquets. Long noted for their feel, the Blade series has taken its racquet technology to a whole new level to add power for the adult player.

Wilson Blade V8 Technology

Innovations abound in this exciting new racquet series.

FORTYFIVE ^o Technology

The Wilson brand has always been known for innovations with materials like graphite. FORTYFIVE ^o is a careful weaving of materials from the grip cap to the top of the head that increases both the flex and the stability of the racquet at the same time.

This stunning innovation means that at contact the ball stays on the racquet string longer yet stability is enhanced. The vertical swing of competitive tennis players is a swing that needs this unique combination of flex and stability and the Wilson Blade V8 delivers with FORTYFIVE ^o.

Direct Connect Technology

Creative ways to connect the handle's grip to the end cap with carbon fiber means these Wilson tennis racquets have added stability, feel and power. Often ignored by other brands, this end of the racquet frame is significantly improved by Wilson.

Color Shifting Finish

The composition of the paint produces a finish where the color of the frame actually changes from copper to green and back again depending on the light. At any given moment the head and neck could be different colors.

With its debut at the US Open, this splashy looking racquet is turning heads for all the right reasons. A US Open debut for this Blade means they are setting a standard for the look of their tennis racquets for years to come.

Grip Innovation

While you can get your grip size with any brand, you won't see a grip where there is a Top Grip Taper to accommodate your top hand. An Ergonomic End Cap increases comfort regardless of grip size as you hit ball after ball.

String Pattern

The Wilson Blade 98 16x19 has a pattern that allows greater movement by the string. The Wilson Blade 98 16x19 is not the only pattern available.

The 18x20 pattern provides more stiffness and longer string life. This string pattern makes the racket play with a bit more precision.

Whether you choose the Blade 98 16x19 or 18x20 is a matter of personal preference with your string that other brands have trouble matching.

Weight

The Blade V8 brand includes light weight racquets preferred by some players. The weight is especially important for those that suffer from arm pain as they strike the ball.

Head Size

Want a mid-size 100 square inch head? How about an oversized 104 square inch head? 

The graphite throughout these bigger Blade racquets means a bigger sweet spot for when the ball hits the racquet string away from the true center. Your Blade racket can balance your individual needs with their unique composition of materials and sizes.

US Open and the Pros

While the pros modify their Blade brand racquets to match their exacting specifications, it is a sign the pros are thrilled to endorse this brand at the US Open. Their specifications may not be your specifications as their demands on their racquets are unique to each player.

Blade V8 Price

You can shop for a racket with a cheaper price or a higher price, but if you want the latest innovations, the competitively priced Blade V8 is worth the investment. Price should not get in the way of improving your game for years to come.
