  • Glads, back with another racket review! Pretty big one this time. The racket endorsed by the legend of our sport Roger freaking Federer. Another iteration of the no less legendary racket, that offers unmatched levels of control and feel. This time with a debatable paint job but as perfected as it always is. Kuzey is back with us for this review by the way. Enjoy!

    There's a mistake in the specs. The unstrung weight is 315

      They say it’s 315 but it’s Wilson so it could really be anywhere between 290 and 330

    I was going to get this but found the Blade v7 Roland Garros edition for 50% off the sticker price, after trying both of them out i prefer the blade because it gives me just the right amount of spin and power.
    It is important to remember that you will eventually develop your game around the racket you use so it is important to stick with similar rackets when you start off as a beginner; I used to use the heavier Babolat aeropro control at 320g and developed open stance and topspin forehand which i could carry forward to the blade.
    TL:DR i am torn between blade and the prostaff but use the blade because of the better feel i get.

    I am currently using Wilson blade 98 v8 18x20, it fits to me since I like to play flatter and fast ball, it has decent feel and control and I absolute love it, that i usually play groundstroke, I tried the new Wilson pro staff 97, it feels great but it just feel like lost bit of sauce, I cannot give all my confidence and power to the shot like i am afraid of the ball flies out, but my friend said that the quality of shot is better than the shot I hit with Blade, I am really frustrated which one I should go for…

    How do you compare the performce of this version vs the previous generation, since you did not score the previous one ? I have seen that the v13 has a faster reaction when repelling off the string bed allowing you to perform more quickly and aggressively. Does the V14's old school 90 " flex point , suit your game more than the head flex of the v13 ?

    Low key been looking forward to your review on the X considering how close the specs are comparing to the gravity. 😅
    As one of the OG glads, very glad to see kuzey back, but the last video with Areg was a bit underwhelming and disappointing. Hopefully nothing big happened between you guys and no conspiracy here but just through the screen, it didn't feel like a good match against a good old friend. 😢
