Wilson Blade V9 16x19 - ATP Player Extended Review

So the much awaited Blade V9 is here at All Things Tennis! It's more stable thanks to increased stiffness from the V8 model. They haven't lost any of that great blade feel, however. With both our pro's instantly enjoying the feedback they were getting from the racket. Wilson had a tough job on their hands improving on the V8, firstly the looks are stunning, the frame is more stable at stock, which was a criticism raised with the V8 and the frame has more natural power too it, without sacrificing to much of that Blade reliability advanced players have grown to love! The direct connect tech bridging carbon all the way down the handle corrects any butcap issues and improves feel.

Cheers to making the most comprehensive demonstration of the v9! I just demoed the 100 last week, but looking forward to the 98 next week.

Great video, with two superb players that gave good insight. 👍🏼

The Blade v9 is very forgiving, Highly recommended to any level of player looking for a control focused racquet but still has access to power and spin. The Blade feel is unique, I love it but some may not like it very much. As someone who played the old v2 Blade since it came out, this is a great refresh if you are coming from an older racquet.

But all the Tour players use the Pro Model of this racket, which has a different spaced stringbed, beam thickness, handle contour, and more of a box beam. They may be called by the same name, but they are two completely different rackets other than hoop size, string pattern, and frame weight.

Enfin une vrai analyse ! Merci

Great review! Just wondered Luke switched to 16x19 not 18x20 as his previous racquet is Percept 97d(18x20)?

[@allthingstennis]

He loved the feel of it I guess , we will get him to extensively test the V9 18x20 too

[@joaohenriquemf]

18x20 please

[@w.s.alford6073]

haha no way!! good to see arron after leaving notts

[@markygarrido1311]

Are they using the Blade V9 100 in or 98?

[@vickan240sx]

If Aaron wanted more weight out of the blade, has he considered the blade pro v9?

[@allchannel1841]

the blade pro is not a blade ! and the blade pro is also 305 lol

[@vickan240sx]

It’s the swing weight that puts it above the prostaff v14

[@allchannel1841]

@@vickan240sx but it’s not a blade its a totally different racquet from the blade and the pro staff

[@SY-it7xs]

​@@allchannel1841spot on with distinguishing the blade from the blade pro (H22 mold but retail layup). Have I seen you on the talktennis forums by the name of staryugi? I swear I have seen your profile pic somewhere.

When are you stocking the blade 100 ? And have you got a flex machine

[@allthingstennis]

We have just got the 100s in. In terms of maxhines, we have a yonex precision scan, but no rdc machine
