Wilson Blade 104 v8 Tennis Racket

Wilson's iconic Blade series has been updated to version 8 for 2021. The Blade 104 v8 combines a captivating design with a new layup, better accommodating the more modern, vertical swing path commonly used by competitive players. The headline innovation of Wilson's all-new version 8 Blade is FORTYFIVE, which manages to increase both the flexibility and stability of the frame, resulting in a supreme feel for the ball on every shot.

Still characterized by its superior presence in the hands of the world's best players, this evolution of the Blade rewards aggressive, precise ball-strikers with a top-tier blend of connected-to-the-ball feel, torsional stability, and a color-shifting design that is sure to impress both teammates and opponents.

Another great update to the Blade v8 is DirectConnect, in which Wilson extends the carbon fiber handle to connect directly to the end cap, improving feel and enhancing torsional stability. Wilson also includes the "Top Grip Taper," which provides a better feel for top-hand grip placement.

The use of a Braided Graphite + Basalt composition continues to improve the flex of the racquet, producing enhanced feel and control. Parallel Drilling provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response, while the Ergonomic End Cap helps yield improved comfort and playability.

The Blade 104 v8 features a slightly larger 104 square-inch head, with a solid 11-ounce strung weight and a more open 16x19 string pattern. These features combine to create a frame that fits a wide range of players seeking a nice punch of power to go with the Blade's patented feel and control.
