October 2016 saw the launch of the new Wilson Blade racket family . Wilson uses the new Countervail material in the top frames for less shock load and impact for the arm and body. In addition, all new Blades are provided with a matte black finish with extra texture. This gives the rackets a very pleasant feel in the hand! Although this Wilson Blade 98 UL does not use the (expensive) Countervail technology, this racket does have the same matte black appearance. It also has the same frame construction as its heavier brothers.
In fact, for the first time, Wilson offers a full range of rackets in all weight classes in the Blade series. This construction also allows players to grow within this racket family if they play well with a Blade. This Wilson Blade 98 UL is the lightest Blade ever, but it does have the beautiful slim beam that the Blade series is known for. This makes for a very challenging racket, despite its light weight. This makes the Wilson Blade 98 UL a great recommendation for the better youth who want to continue to develop their stroke. The player who is looking for a control-oriented racket in a light version will also find this Blade 98 UL a fine tool.
The Wilson Blade 98 UL stands for good ball control and direct feedback, everything a good young player needs to be able to grow. The relatively small 98 sq/inch racket head in combination with the beautiful slim construction of the racket ensure that you are forced to continue to finish your stroke well. However, you get a lot of ball feel and control in return. The racket is even-balanced, making it easy to maneuver, but still has enough hitting power from the baseline. The rich matte black finish with the bright green color accents and the 'laser-engraved' Blade logo make the Wilson Blade 98 UL a real eye-catcher on the court!
