One of the best selling performance tennis racquets in the world, the Wilson Blade 98 is one of the best options available for serious competitors who place a premium on feel and control for every position on the court. Its mid-plus head, mid level weight and maneuverable balance point yields a highly productive result. The Wilson Blade 98 is the updated version of the Blade 98 BLX with the improved feel and frame feedback offered by the addition of basalt fiber (BLX) technology. The Blade 98 continues the traditional feel in the same vein as the Six One 95 BLX, but in a lighter, more maneuverable package. A 20.6mm flat beam and 98 square inch headsize provide solid feel and control for intermediate to advanced players with a faster swing. A versatile performer from all points on the court. The 16 x 19 string pattern offers excellent spin potential for those looking to hit topspin and slice. Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 4.5+ NTRP level players. Countervail: Special Carbon Fiber that absorbs more impact and shock creating less fatigue and increasing recovery time. Wilson X2 Ergo: A customizable handle shape that creates optimal personalized feel for the modern two-handed backhand. Braided Graphite + Basalt: Wilson braids Basalt with carbon graphite fiber throughout the entire frame. Because of Basalt's elasticity, it allows the racquet's hoop to flex in ways that improve dwell time, feel and control. Wilson Racquets WRT74071U
