Wilson Blade 98 V10

The most-played control frame on tour just got harder to put down.

Twenty years in, Wilson has given the Blade its deepest revision since the line launched in 2006 — and the result is the most stable, most forgiving Blade ever built. The 98 16x19 v10 keeps everything Blade loyalists already know: the thin beam, the clean response, the precision feel that makes you trust your targets. What's new is a redesigned TurboTaper beam that adds free depth on returns and deep-court rallies, and StableFeel+ construction that locks the frame in on off-center hits. Wilson has also tightened factory tolerances on every v10 — swingweight variance cut in half, weight matched to ±5g, balance to ±2pts — meaning the frame you pick up plays like the one next to it.

Used on tour by world #1 Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Mirra Andreeva, Vicky Mboko, and Jakub Menšík, the 98 16x19 v10 sits where the line has always belonged — between pure power and pure feel — but with a clear bump in stability and pop over the v9.

Best for: Intermediate to advanced players (3.5+) with full swings who want controllable power, plush feel, and elite stability without giving up maneuverability.
