For Tennis Parents by a Tennis Parent

Wilson announced an update to its popular Blade racquet series which will be available starting today. I have an older model of this stick, and I absolutely LOVE IT! If you or your junior player is in the market for a new racquet, be sure to take the Blade for a test drive.

Here is the official announcement from Wilson Tennis:

Wilson will launch the new 2019 Blade series designed to help attacking tennis players truly blow away their competition.

The seventh version of the Blade features an evolved three-part colorway on top of a lightweight, maneuverable frame. The new Blade rackets will be equipped with FeelFlex technology, giving players a “more connected-to-the ball” feel while complementing their modern, more vertical swing path. The improvements to the racket are substantial, including 20 percent more horizontal flexibility for more control, 12 percent more vertical flexibility for more spin and 11.4 percent more stability for more power.

The new Blade series will consist of five different racket models listed below with prices included. All rackets are available now at Wilson.com.
