The Blade v9 is very forgiving, Highly recommended to any level of player looking for a control focused racquet but still has access to power and spin. The Blade feel is unique, I love it but some may not like it very much. As someone who played the old v2 Blade since it came out, this is a great refresh if you are coming from an older racquet.
But all the Tour players use the Pro Model of this racket, which has a different spaced stringbed, beam thickness, handle contour, and more of a box beam. They may be called by the same name, but they are two completely different rackets other than hoop size, string pattern, and frame weight.
As someone who's had both pro staffs and blades, i defnitely preferred the blade in this iteration. Hit with both when demoing some rackets recently and the pro staff is so unforgiving, you have to hit it sweet or it feels like you've shanked it. The blade just felt so loose and easy in comparison. I don't hit a big ball either and I felt way more comfortable to go for my shots with the blade
@@allchannel1841spot on with distinguishing the blade from the blade pro (H22 mold but retail layup). Have I seen you on the talktennis forums by the name of staryugi? I swear I have seen your profile pic somewhere.
@@smashthestateXLast model felt totally mushy and ambiguous. If you're not a good player just start with that instead of pretending you know better. I suppose they'll feel the same if you shank every ball.

Cheers to making the most comprehensive demonstration of the v9! I just demoed the 100 last week, but looking forward to the 98 next week.

Great video, with two superb players that gave good insight. 👍🏼

Enfin une vrai analyse ! Merci
Great video, with helpful and useful info from A to Z a success.
Great review!
Just wondered Luke switched to 16x19 not 18x20 as his previous racquet is Percept 97d(18x20)?
He loved the feel of it I guess , we will get him to extensively test the V9 18x20 too
18x20 please

If Aaron wanted more weight out of the blade, has he considered the blade pro v9?
the blade pro is not a blade ! and the blade pro is also 305 lol
It’s the swing weight that puts it above the prostaff v14
@@vickan240sx but it’s not a blade its a totally different racquet from the blade and the pro staff

@@allchannel1841so it’s a H22 mold under the Blade pro V9 paint job?
With or without leather grip? What’s your advice?
how tall are both of you at 1:14 ?
ahaha, there's a good foot difference there
@@allthingstennis so you are 6 ft 6? Cuz he’s 5 ft 6 from google haha
Are they using the Blade V9 100 in or 98?
haha no way!! good to see arron after leaving notts
When are you stocking the blade 100 ? And have you got a flex machine
We have just got the 100s in. In terms of maxhines, we have a yonex precision scan, but no rdc machine
@@allthingstennis great but do you ever come back to anyone who asks for specs ?
Extended? What u mean?
its just a paint job , cover the racket and test vs the old one, u cant tell the diff
You definitely, without doubt can tell the difference
@@ozsa3156 its a 1% diff in balance and weight, ok buddy
