Good video guys 👍 I’m taking from this, that the V9 is a great racquet but not that much of an upgrade to justify switching from the V8. I love my V8’s (with some additional weight at 10 and 2 o’clock) so I’m going to get another one of those at the heavily discounted prices. 🙂

That racket is awesome Wilson Head Blade...

[@ilips6588]

What about the 18*20? And would you customise it knowing it has already quite a high sw?

[@gsburke]

Blade Pro V9 16M in stock at Wilson. Hope you can get one to review asap.

[@emorynguyen1354]

The verdant background is gorgeous.

[@ThesGt]

i have both and i agree v9 is a bit better than v8 but you can notice it i like my v9 more but i still practice with my v8

[@vickan240sx]

Given that Coach Jerod is an avid blade user, I'd be curious what his thoughts were regarding the Prolabs version. I have both v9 Prolabs 16x19 and 18x20.

[@aaronbleas2733]

Can you tell me the differences between the pro labs versions and retail?

[@fingersm]

@@aaronbleas2733totally different racquet

[@702bigron]

Which one do you like better? I have the pro 16x19 and I’m really thinking about getting the 18x20

[@vickan240sx]

@@aaronbleas2733 The prolabs uses the H22 mold. Looking at the specifications, the prolabs version is slightly more head heavy. I can't give you a direct comparison between the retail blade vs. prolabs. But I can compare a Prostaff v14 vs. the Prolabs Blade. From the reviews that I read about the retail blade and from my own experience with the retail Prostaff v14, the best way that I could describe the difference in feel between retail vs. prolabs is that the retail versions are more dampened upon impact. The word "Muted" gets thrown around a lot. I prefer the more geniune feel of the prolabs versus a slightly dampened feel of the retail version if that makes sense.

[@vickan240sx]

@@702bigron Initially I used the 16x19 more because I was transitioning from a RF97, but as I got used to hitting racquet, I ended up gravitating towards the 18x20. The launch angle on the 18x20 feels like the launch angle I had on my RF97 but with more control. Out of the 2 options 16x19 or 18x20, I definitely like the 18x20 more. The racquets that I've used within the last year are as follows: Prostaff v14 Noir Prostaff Six.One 95 v14 RF97 v13 Blade Pro 98 16x19 Blade Pro 98 18x20 Reasons for switching to the Blade Pro 98 was because I wanted a bit more swing weight than the Prostaff v14, but be less demanding than the RF97 v13. Hope this helps!

The head guard tape adds swingweight

[@joeking4006]

What string does he use?

[@michaell1274]

Probably Restring zero

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

Given that many players consider the V8 inferior to the V7, how would a V7 compare to the V9?

[@gregbishopmav]

I'm a current v8 user, and demoed v7 and v9 the same day, and I would say the 9 is between the 8 and 7...slightly more pop but not as much as the 7.

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

@@gregbishopmav Thx for the info. Did you play them stock or at your favourite specs?

[@gregbishopmav]

@@sebastiandomagala9233 just stock (although I do use a 4g dampener)

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

@@gregbishopmav Well, that explains a lot. The V8 has a rather low swingweight, the V7 has quite a lot (for a racquet of its weight). Therefore the V7 had quite a good punch, the V8 is easier to use. I dumped my Blade. Needed a tad more power when I am on the stretch. The Blade gives me nothing.

[@gregbishopmav]

@@sebastiandomagala9233 I haven't found anything that feels like more pop but not too much yet (I also love the cx200 (last gen, haven't tried 2024), grav mp, but they certainly aren't giving any free power)

[@gab_ale]

12oz is perfection.

[@pajavampir]

what is the most user-friendly 98?
