Wilson BLX Blade 98
Combining a player friendly weight, incredible control, and an all new improved feel, the updated Wilson BLX Blade 98 has everything to be a worthy successor to the widely popular K-Blade 98. Implementing the newest technology from Wilson, the BLX technology, which utilizes Basalt fibers interwoven with the graphite matrix, this frame features less unwanted vibration without compromising rigidity of the graphite matrix for a pure feel at impact. What this means for the player is a more comfortable feel without the muted feel that is sometimes associated with dampening systems. The BLX Blade 98 continues its tradition by keeping the Karophite Black material, which was designed to give players a solid feel and improved control. Karophite Black is created by crosslinking the carbon layers in the graphite matrix for greater strength and rigidity for enhanced stability. The tweener weight is combined with a midplus headsize and dense 18×20 string pattern to offer a friendly control frame appropriate for a wide range of styles and abilities. This versatile racquet is capable of performing from anywhere on the court as it remains both maneuverable for quick exchanges and stable to take full cuts.
