Description

The Blade 98 (18×20) v8 grabs attention with its eye-catching appearance and enhanced performance, thanks to its smooth color-shifting elastic surface. While the frame’s surface morphs between colors of green and copper, the frame’s inside contains innovative FORTYFIVE° technology to boost flexibility and stability, resulting in an ideal feel for today’s game’s contemporary, vertical swing path. The carbon fiber handle also extends to the end cap for improved feel and torsional stability, resulting in a frame that surpasses all expectations for the newest version of the pro tour’s most popular racket series.

Features:

Braided Graphite + Basalt – A mix of elastic and reactive materials enhances a racket’s flex to maximize ball contact with the strings for improved feel and control.

Parallel Drilling – Grommet structure ensures a more constant, forgiving string bed response while also significantly expanding the sweet spot.

Top Grip Taper – On the two-handed backhand, the tapered grip provides superior feel for top-handed grip placement.

FORTYFIVE° – The patent-protected frame layup creates a more connected-to-the-ball sensation while matching the more contemporary vertical swing path. Through the swing, the material gains both flexibility and stability without sacrificing either.
