I love this frame. I've been looking for a more forgiving alternative to my Radical MPs. This is it. Rare for me to hit 100 16x19 that has an excellent backhand slice. My coach even commented on the quality of my slice and bhand volleys with this frame. Great control, accuracy, comfort, and a sweet bit of pop on flat shots. 10g in the handle and an overgrip shifted the balance perfectly for me.

[@jonasp4822]

Great racket, Im coming from the v7 16x19 and my game gets better overall with this one. I find it extremely stable for its weight against big hitters. If I go all in on power though I tend to miss more with this one compared to the 98. My grip size 4 for the 100 is clearly thicker than for the 98 surprisingly, it feels more like a size 5!

[@petershort936]

Gravity Tour would fall into this category as well. Now for sale in the States.

[@CB-mr1ci]

Totally

[@RobManser77]

A comparison video would be good. 😊

[@Nadinee570]

Thx so much bro i got one my friend kept telling me it was fake but i didnt beleve it so thx for ur review

[@enzolucchini694]

Hi, Can you make a comparison between the 100 V8 and V9 please ? 🔥💪 because in a previous video you praised the V8.

[@CJZM7777]

I tesedt a few 100 size rackets about a month ago and went with the Blade100v9. It's a great racket.

[@ryansolomon4178]

Do you prefer this or the Percept 100d?

[@GuillermoBorregueroGonzalez]

Would you say you get the same power with this one as with the v7? Thank you for the video!

[@cr4zer]

Many reviews already in place. One important thing to point out - soft impact combined with stability. After moving from Pure Drive causing me tennis elbow I wanted something softer, but not twisting on off-center shots, especially volleys. Tested arm friendly rackets like Prince Tour 100 and ProKennex Ki Q+5 but frames were too unstable. Blade 100 V9 is exactly what I wanted. Medium power frame enabling me to string lesser tension without fear of shots going long and in addition enough stability to play full range of strokes. Used with MSV Focus Hex 1.18 mains, Yonex Polytour Air in the crosses for more arm comfort at 21Kg.

[@evgshk]

Same here, want to move to Blade from Pure Drive because of the elbow.

[@MyCvid]

Jonas, Wilson made a v7 Blade 100. I have one. It is not a 100L. Standard specs are 300 grams, ra=62. Tennis Warehouse swing weight @ 327, but who knows!

[@Tennisnerd]

Never saw that one

[@FarTennis]

hey could you please review the solinco hyper g hybrid (round and original)?

[@limjieming8403]

Probably should give Wilson Six One Pro Staff 100 V13 a try. I think both these rackets fall under the same control rackets with a tad more forgiveness. But i’m a pro staff fan, could never gel with Blades (nothing wrong with Blades, just personal preference) and on certain days where I’m not feeling the ball with my usual PS97 V13, the Six One PS100 is the way to go for me to enjoy tennis still on those days I think there’s a newer paint job now for Six One Pro Staff 100. Not entirely sure if there’s any difference between them

[@mindofmogli]

Good stuff, man. I actually just demoed this racquet and loved it. The plush feel fit my game. Got the Speed and Gravity MP's on the way too :)

[@RokuX51]

What did you decide?

[@mindofmogli]

@@RokuX51 it was a tie between the Blade and Speed MP. Both felt great. but I ended up going for the Blade based on aesthetics, and random reasons like how the frame felt in my hand (smoother/rounder). I also got love for Wilson. HEAD is cool tho, and the Speed MP is legit. It has a higher SW, and I can notice a little more power.

[@anielloliguori6312]

Hi Jonas, you mentioned the Percept 100D and speed MP and Dunlop CX400, how would you compare them to the Angell React 99 18x19 that you had a look at?

[@ALC-bd1pm]

The next review might be the stiffer Blade 100L. Adds a bit of weight, that will be a power plus control Blade.

[@medianera2008]

Hi Jonas, Blade 100 or CX400 Tour? What is your favourite racket? How did you customize the racket? Thanks and regards from Germany. :-)

[@Teerexy]

Can you review blade 104

[@wrongname3636]

Hey, I have the 98 V8 and I feel that it is so hard to play with. The launch angle is so low, and find myself putting so many balls on the net. Should I put some weight on the head? thanks

[@chakwowu6825]

Just wonder these new gen of Wilson sticks fused the buttcap to the carbon frame, how can I lengthen the racket to 28-inch long like the old school ones?

[@tilenmlakar7036]

Tested a lot of racquets and this one stood out for me. Using v8.

[@kietlam9943]

how does it compare to the v8? I just bought a v8 and looking for a second racket. Is it worth the upgrade?

[@tilenmlakar7036]

@@kietlam9943 I dont think the diference is noticable. I would go with V9 for a second one too if it were the same price as I paid for v8 (120€). V9 felt slightly more solid on impact, that is about it.

[@draconiadorian]

Hi what strings/ tension do you use on your v8?

[@kietlam9943]

@@draconiadorian just got my V8 recently since V9 isn't available here till June. Had Head Velocity @52 pounds but now testing Yonex Poly tour @ 50 lbs. Also looking into Toroline Wasabi.

[@tilenmlakar7036]

@@draconiadorian signum pro Hyperion 1,18 mm or volkl v-star 1,25 at around 23 kg. Still testing which setup is best for me. I prefer soft poly strings.

[@Mewborne89]

Why don’t you use this as your tournament go to? Just watched your most recent video on Patreon and you went back to your old Prestige after the Boom but doesn’t this Blade fall sort of right in the middle of those? Might be a happy medium. Give it a shot!

[@experientialtennis]

What about the 274 gram 16x20 (steam) version customized to the usual tweener specs? It is said it's the Steam mold. * We've seen the 100 light with the 16x19 customized and reviewed by Henrik.

[@magnusforce5]

I´ve tried both Blade 100 (v8) and 16x20 101L, they are completely different animals because of the head shape, mold and stiffness. 101L customized to the usual tweener specs is considerably more powerful, stiffer (but still comfortable) and with a decent level of control thanks to 16x20 pattern. Blade 100 has better feel, but has a noticeable dead spot in the upper hoop (I think due to more oval head shape), which I personally don't like in racquets.

[@user-jy5vo9mi1o]

I think this is a very good butterfly net for catching butterflies, like the famous prince))). After you catch butterflies, you can use this as a harp. I think it's a masterpiece, but not Vcore 100 v6.

[@TM-vg4mx]

I am using ezone 100 love it, I want to move to a more control but do not want to lose spin, would suggest speed MB or ezone 98 or blade 100 or …. ? thanks for the nice review

[@dakim5319]

I started out with the ezone 100, tested the radical, pure aero and blade. I’ve settled for the ezone 98 which gives me a perfect blend of control and power.

[@TM-vg4mx]

@@dakim5319 thanks a lot, I decided to do the same.

[@CB-mr1ci]

Is this racquet is tough to get in North America ?

[@charlesfaure1189]

The 100 is a fine racquet. A little lead at 6 and 9 improves it a bit (I have a couple of v8s). If you want a lot of spin you'll need a lot of vertical headspeed to get it, and the slightly bigger hoop helps.

[@dlw2982]

V9 100 gives you some spin.

[@mteca5093]

V9 100L

[@brunis_m]

“Excellent choice if you don’t know what you want”. Seems like the stick for all tennis nerds!

[@johnsmith-zf1fd]

Can you recommend the best tennis club in the Malaga area?

[@Tennisnerd]

Belair in Estepona or Puente Romano, Malaga I am not too familiar with sadly

[@sinand881]

I am pretty sure you know this well, but some rackets don't respond well to the weight in tbe hadle, especially if they have higher stiffness. If it gets too solid, starts shooting the balls like a wall as there is no absorption on impact. Dunlop cx 400 tour might be one of them. You can find your control by reducing handle weight or removing it completely...,. I think I will try 100l customised instead of this one as its a little too soft ito ra..

[@lorbatlo3298]

What about against the percept 100?

[@lorbatlo3298]

It's very similar specs and not seen people compare blade vs percept 100 16x19

[@1994firas]

Does anyone know where is the tennis court where he was playing with the lady in the beginning of the video?

[@Tennisnerd]

Bel-Air in Estepona

[@1994firas]

@@Tennisnerd Thank you very much

[@reallypantik6283]

People who are so against 100sq racquets should try to play with coaching equipment racquets such as Saber (not an advertising). It has 37inch head, so you play for 30min with that racquet and then count how many times do you frame the ball, lets your realise how far off of a sweatspot you actually are and how bigger head helps us play. Dont let your ego control your game.

[@MarkDunn-cz8in]

What’s it like with a one handed backhand?

[@enne1122]

Don't know about the v9 but the v8 100 works great for my onehander, more stable then the 98. But that's my personal experience with the rackets, I have both.

[@Tennisnerd]

It feels good and natural to swing, the relatively thin beam helps

[@RobManser77]

I like it, although the throat widens early, making it feel more awkward to hold on take back with my left hand than my last racket (an Ezone 100). Or maybe that’s just me.

[@nicoleladich2359]

I have the Blade 100l and the yonex ezone 100l in the final for my new racket and simple cannot decide which one to take 🙈. Any tips/opinion? I am intermediate female 42 playing 3 year and now starting to compete in Club tournaments and want to develop and advance. On serve I dont feel a difference between those two. I had a power Stick before. The Concept of real Spin i am currently Not able to grasp 😂, so have quite many flat shots still. To me Both Seem to give the same power into my forehand and backhand

[@rich.e]

if you have regular hitting partners or opponents, ask them which one they think you play better with or if you were going out to play a match, which one would you pick?

[@howood1310]

The girl gas a better ohbh 😂

[@Tennisnerd]

Yes she does
