Currently using the blade 100 v9 and loving it. Using rpm blast strung at 52. Just got it a couple days ago but we’ll see how I feel a few more months down the line
I pair my blade 98 with hyper-g 17 gauge at 57 and I love it. A month ago, I tried my blade with rpm blast at 54. Only after 2 hours hitting, it hurt my wrist, elbow, and shoulder so bad that I’m still recovering from it. 😢
@@ez2733 I was debating between the hyper g and the rpm blast. I know that I liked the hyper g in the past but I just wanted to try out some new strings. Currently I think I like the hyper g better. For some reason, I feel incredibly inconsistent with the blast.
Pro staff should always have gut in the mains if you want more pop, add that and put your alu power in the crosses or for better string retention and longevity use 4G in the mid 40s for tension.
I demoed the Wilson Blade v9 18x20 from the USOpen proshop and really liked the control and feel of the racquet so I bought one. The proshop strung the demo racquet at a whopping 58lbs. Really not sure what string and tension to get for my new racquet so I went with your exact configuration (ALU Power Rough @54lbs - first time using these strings; typically I go with Solinco Confidential @ 52lbs). Unfortunately, I've noticed that I'm not getting the same control and feel as the demo. Unlike the demo racquet, the ball launches a bit higher (less ball pocketing?) and long when I fully swing out. Do I need to break in the strings? I also feel a bit of arm discomfort (golfer's elbow - inside tendon and a little tennis elbow - outside tendon) after playing out a full match. (I'm in NYC and play both indoor and outdoor.) Do you feel anything similar with your Blade? Do you have any suggestions on how to dial in the power? I was previously using Ezone and it was too powerful. Later, I played with the Head Extreme Tour with a bit of weight added at 12 o'clock and really liked it. Also curious what you think about the v9 after a few weeks of play. Thanks!
That's true... I have that racket last 3 weeks I bought in ebay. That racket my play improved, there is stability and control, I feel the ball to my topspin and backhand. I love this racket, highly recommend Wilson Blade 98 v9 16x19.
Hey guys, Im pretty much new at tennis and Im buying a new raquet since my last one broke. I dont know if I should pick the Pro Staff rxt 105 or the Blade rxt 105 They are both 85€ not too expensive because im still learning but ive reach a decent level any advice? which one should I pick between those two?
TLDR: the new clip grommets are rubbish. I switched from a V8 18/20 to a V9 16/19. Demo was fine, the one I bought felt horrible. I tried different string tensions, lead tape set ups, overgrips and even a replacement grip. The feel was still horrible. Then…. I placed it head down on my floor and thought I heard a vibration. Checked my V8 to compare, and the V9 definitely had a small vibration. I could only find V7 grommets and bumper pack, so tried that in desperation. And the racquet finally feels normal.
I have been using the blade v8 18x20 for a while and it feels to stiff and doesn’t pop the ball as much I as like what would be a better fit for me in the Wilson line up?
Great review , I was deciding between the 3 and have gone with the Blade V9 98 (16 x 19) coming from the ultra V4 100 (noir) which I did not like initially but have grown to love. I do prefer a smaller head size for more control and precision so the 98 falls perfectly between the pro staff and shift. In depth review of the Blade V9 would be great , thanks.
Does the 18x20 feel quite heavy? I currently use the Gravity Pro, I'm finding it too heavy and wondering if the 18x20 Blade V9 98 will feel similar weight when playing?

Totally agree with the Wilson Pro Overgrip, nothing trumps that feeling so far. it's not sticky yet absorbs so much sweat like nothing

Isn't the X version of the pro staff 100sq.inch?
@@raytrace2014 Yeah
I'm a 4.0 player at best. Would you recommend the blade 98 18x20 for more advanced players?
I highly recommend you try the Blade Pro from Wilson Pro Labs. It has more power and feel than a normal Blade. Slightly higher SW, too.
Would love to give it a try! Thanks for sharing
Slightly higher. Much higher
Swingweight on that is like 345. Not many next-gen players playing with that high swingweight.

Just bought this racket as a needed upgrade from my 10 year old Wilson envy😂
Wouldn't it be better to use thinner string in 18x20? Youd get even more feel
You referred to the Blade that you were holding as a Pro Stock. Was that a mistake? Or was it really a Blade Pro?
Dylan, do you use an overgrip on most of your rackets? Really curious how you fit your stock grip, along with overgrip ? Thanks,
What kind of strings do you use? What tension?
Badosa and Raducanu are using Steam 100 with Blade painting.
Same with Alex de Minaur but the steam 95
@@itschickenlittle1409thought he used a 99 steam 16x18? 🤔
the ps X version is 100 sq inch, the one ur holding is just called the 97

any advice? which one should I pick between those two?
i currently use the yonex v core pro 97 but thinking of switching to blade 18/19 or pure aero 98. looking for a bit more power and spin

The wilson v14X is not 97sq inch but 100 right....
how would you compare the 98 blade v9 18x20 with the wilson ultra?
especially in terms of power?
I just bought it and tbh it seems to lack feel, or just muted
How do you like like the Alu-Power? People say it's good but only for an hour? do you restring often?
I love the string, prefer a tighter tension for more control
Massive risk buying 18x20’s as the swingweight qc is so so bad as you may end up with thors hammer
My Friend 54 lbs main and cross? same?
I have been using the blade v8 18x20 for a while and it feels to stiff and doesn’t pop the ball as much I as like what would be a better fit for me in the Wilson line up?
Try the Blade 16x19 98sq which will give you more pop and spin. If you still feel like you need more give the Blade 16x19 100sq a go 🙏🏽
@@Tenniswithdylan thank you very much I’ll demo it then, much appreciated
Please review the "Wilson Ultra Pro (97sq inch)"......thanks!
Yes I will try to get my hands on one!!
Are the orange string the RG version on your blade??
Yes
I have searched everywhere and I can't find it, now the RG version is blue and I'm not sure if it will fit my blade v9 roland garros edition.
Wilson Pro Staff X, top 3 racket from a wilson list of 3 rackets xD

315 is a gimp weight for a pro staff. Should be 340 at least.
Are u sponsored by Wilson?
Yes
No he is just wearing Wilson shirt, racket, strings, shoes, shorts, socks, underwear, overgrip
