I got two of the Wilson Blades not too long ago and at first I was very pleased thus why I bought two. The feel was amazing and I loved the easy power it generated. I felt like it lacked a little on the spin side but that's just me. I had both racquets strung at 46 lbs. I was in the middle of a match and one of the grommet eyelets snapped off. I was surprised. I am not an aggressive player that hits with a lot of power and it just snapped off. After it snapped, it started to eat away at my strings so I had to switch racquets. Also, I feel a noticeable difference between my two racquets. One of mine feels very head heavy and the other feels very balanced. I was very disappointed with Wilson with inconsistent quality and feel.

I have four blades - two V8 and two V6. It is an extremely versatile and comfortable racket and the V8 delivers exceptional control, feel and access to spin. I hit a one-handed backhand and am a generally a baseline grinder with spin on both wings, and I love this racket for my style and have never had arm issues (I string with normal tension polys). The increased weight on the v8 compared to older blades allows you to absorb more power.If you prefer more of a power racket or are a flatter hitter, this may not be a racket for you. Otherwise, it's going to do nearly everything you want from it.

I am playing with Wilson Blade and using Revolve Spin Strings. I like the combination of control and spin. I trust Wilson in the competitions. I am confident about my hits...I know the racket never lets me down. Quality is evident. I can recommend it to every player with confidence. The best racket ever.

I have been playing tennis for over 30 years and this racket is by far the most responsive and best playing racket I have ever used. I was a head fan for a long time but this racket made me change to wilson. I don't know how they made it work but the power, control and feel are amazing. I string mine at 58 lbs with a 17 guage spin string. If you have never been a fan of wilson rackets you need to try this one.
i recently bought this racquet and I'm so damn surprised by it. Afer doing a tonne of research and watching a lot of reviews I decided to go for this one.Have tried nearly 6 different raquets in the past year i.e babolat pure aero 2023, wilson prostaff 97L v14, yonex ezone 98 sky blue, wilson clash v2 (enjoyed pure aero the most out of the lot). coming back to the point, played with the blade yesterday and I'm blown away by the amount of spin and power i could generate(contrary to reviews) and the amount of control i felt. And the feel is plush plus its easy on the arm. i strung my racquet with solinco confidential 17g at 50lbs. Highly recommend this one. Thanks tennishub !
I am not a tennis expert and have only been having tennis coaching for 4 months. I finally invested in a decent racquet and I’m amazed at the difference. I find this racquet gives me more ball control but I haven’t lost my power. It also feels nice a light when swinging through the shot. It also is a great colour; a metallic green and gold.Tennis warehouse were great too; I paid over the phone as I wanted to split the payment between a gift credit card and my own and this was too easy! They also helped with the string choice and the racquet also arrived 2 days earlier than promised
This racket has pretty decent pop considering they made this blade so much head lighter than previous versions. In the next version I’d like to see a bit more head weight and a slightly higher stiffness rating more similar to the blades of old. A lot of advanced players I know have switched rackets because it’s too squishy now. Wilson, don’t try to make an advanced players racket suitable for low level players.
I bought the new blade about a month ago and the topmost grommet fractured. I contacted customer service and said that it’s not covered by warranty and I have to replace the bumper and grommet piece. That’s fine, except they aren’t available so now I have a broken grommet indefinitely. If getting this piece is anything like trying to order tennis balls, I’ll never get to use the racquet again.The wiser solution would be to send me the bumper and grommet set ASAP. I have ordered 8 racquets from wilson this year. It’s incredible they don’t have a solution to this simple fix.
Not too hard, not too soft, together with the Luxilon Element at 50lb, perfect combination of power and precision. I've had many rackets with many different strings and tension over last 40 yrs. This one gave me the amount of spin on the serve that I've not seen before. The serve lands, spins side way and out of sight with absurd curvature. Leaving the opponent standing there staring at the point of impact. Most impressive indeed. It just became my preferred weapon of choice on the court.
Highly recommend this racket, it feels lighter than your average 300gm - 325gm rackets, since swingweight and striffness is on the lower end. Full range of motion can be achieved without the blade feeling underpowered. It is a solid racket known for its “feel” and power and spin easily generated through 16x19 open string pattern. Technically if you are sound, this should make you feel to hit precise shots easily… Earlier used the babolat pure aero and switched recently.. that racket is lighter but seems heavier when swinging and messed up my technique. Go for it and buy it ,, don’t be scared of the weight , it does feel lighter when swinging and is a stable rally racket with awesome feel and control
