Wilson Launches the New Blade v10

Wilson is the leader in building some of the most iconic racket franchises in the sport’s history. Everyone remembers rackets like Federer’s Pro Staff, and over the past 20 years the Blade has become another frame in the brand’s racket legacy.

That’s why it's always exciting to see what the newest version brings to the table. According to Wilson, the v10 is the most aggressive Blade yet and represents the most significant update in franchise history.

The new design enhances power while refining laser-like control and responsive feedback. Key updates include:

• All-new TurboTaper technology is responsible for power increase, making it easier to hit through opponents with an enhanced beam while the StableFeel+ technology elevates the frame's responsive feel through a boost in stability. Players can compete more aggressively from more positions on the court, turning defense into offense and staying in command during critical moments.
• Built with elite spec control, v10 is the tightest and most consistent Blade to date. Each racket has the same weight and balance delivering consistent feel allowing players to compete freely under pressure. These new enhancements are built to complement two decades of innovation, including Blade's beloved X-Loop design, FortyFive° carbon, DirectConnect handle and more.
• Bold Championship Green colorway, paired with an infrared hot spot, v10 commands attention on court. The upgraded version also features embossed muscle lines and a matching green replacement grip.

The racket is used by the top pros on the tour, including four of the top 10 women: Aryna Sabalenka (No. 1), Amanda Anisimova (No. 6), Mirra Andreeva (No. 9), Vicky Mboko (No. 10),  and men's player Jakub Menšík (No. 25).

"I have been playing with Wilson's Blade rackets since I was 15, we have seen a lot of wins together, which makes the relationship between an athlete and their racket extremely special," says Aryna Sabalenka, world No. 1. "The Blade v10 gives me everything that is important for me in a racket– confidence, control and the ability to compete as aggressively as possible. It was fun to test the prototype versions over the last few months, and I am excited to finally compete with v10."

As racket technology continues to evolve, Wilson is one of the brands that stays at the forefront of technology, offering frames that support players at every level.

"The Blade franchise has been one of the most trusted rackets on tour, and we have been hard at work innovating to deliver the best version for today's evolving game," says Jason Collins, Global General Manager of Racquet Sports at Wilson. "Our main goal at Wilson is to always provide the top, cutting-edge equipment to our athletes, and we are confident the Blade v10 represents a significant upgrade, making it easier than ever to control the court."

When Racket Sports Weekly chatted with Forbes contributor Tim Newcomb, he mentioned racket brands are bringing some impressive technology into the game. With further competition, it’s a very exciting time for players in the sport.
