WILSON BLADE 100UL V8

Wilson adds another chapter the lightest and fastest member of the iconic Blade family. It's called the Blade 100UL v8 and it offers more stability and comfort than the previous model. It also delivers the pinpoint precision for which the Blade franchise is known. With its impressive maneuverability, this stick gives dedicated beginners and rising intermediates a very user-friendly tool for developing sound mechanics. For 2021, Wilson keeps the revolutionary layup technology that was originally used in the v7 series. It’s now called FortyFive and, in addition to increasing stability, it helps the racquet bend in ways that compliment the modern game. For this update, Wilson also introduces Direct Connect Technology which fuses the butt cap directly to the carbon fiber portion of the handle for added stability. Additional updates include Wilson’s new Chameleon Paint which activates subtle color changes under different viewing angles and light conditions. From the baseline the Blade 100UL moves through contact with remarkable ease. Like previous generation, the feel at impact is impressively solid for a light racquet. In addition to great pocketing, this racquet's super fast feel makes it easy to add pace and spin to the ball, and the high level of precision translates into more confidence when selecting ambitious targets. Ultimately, with its seductive combination of speed, comfort and control, this maneuverable version of the Blade is a great option for the improving player. The outstanding feel is a nice bonus.
