This is a cosmetic-only US Open edition of the standard Wilson Blade 98 16x19 v10, and reviewers confirm it plays identically to that frame. Testers describe a control-first racquet that gained a modest power and stability bump over the v9, with easy access to spin, though it still rewards good footwork and swing speed rather than bailing out mishits.
Best for
- Intermediate to advanced baseliners
- Players who generate their own pace
- All-court players who want net feel
- Blade v9 upgraders wanting more stability
Pros
- Easy, natural spin access, especially on serves and slices
- Connected, control-oriented feel typical of the Blade line
- Noticeable power and stability increase over the v9
- Confident, predictable response on flat shots and at net
- Comfortable, plush response for most testers
Cons
- Feel can be too dampened/muted for players who want more feedback
- Punishing when caught on the back foot or out of position
- Short handle can be an issue for two-handed backhand players
- Some testers felt a lack of connection compared to other Blades
Voices
— Chris, Web
getting spin was also super easy
— Jason, Web
a bit more dampened than I would like
— Oak, Web
lack of connection
— Jonas Eriksson, Web
There is a small increase in power (around 5%) but this is still firmly a control-oriented line.
— Beckett Chung, Web
you can really feel the ball sit in the stringbed, get grabbed by the strings
— Beckett Chung, Web
punishing on the back-foot
