Wilson Blade 98 (v9 (2024)) review: the feel king

Mad for gears · 2026-06-17

Setup: Luxilon 4G @ 51, three weeks of singles.

- Feel: the king. every contact tells you exactly what you did
- Control: point-and-shoot on the 16x19, laser on the 18x20
- Power: bring your own. every Blade tax applies
- Comfort: good flex for a player frame

The counterpuncher crowd is right about this one.
Buy if: you take the ball early and live off timing. Skip if: you need help finishing points.
