Wilson Blade 101 Team V9 – Easy-to-Play Tennis Racquet with Control and Comfort
Wilson Blade 101 Team V9 is a lightweight and easy-to-play tennis racquet for beginners and recreational players who want to combine the control-oriented feel of the Blade series with more forgiving characteristics. With a generous 101 sq. in. head size, low weight and an open 16x20 string pattern, the racquet is easy to swing while offering a good combination of control, power and spin.
Blade 101 Team is a less demanding alternative to the heavier models in the Blade series and is suitable for players who want to develop their technique with a racquet that is easy to handle from all areas of the court.
The racquet is supplied unstrung but can be delivered strung as an optional extra – make your selection above.
101 Sq. In. Head – Larger Sweet Spot and More Forgiveness
The 101 sq. in. head size provides a generous sweet spot and makes the racquet more forgiving on off-centre hits.
This is particularly beneficial for players who are still developing their technique, as the racquet helps maintain both power and control even when contact with the ball is not perfect.
Lightweight – Easy to Swing
Blade 101 Team is designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. The low weight makes it easier to accelerate the racquet and get into position, which is particularly useful for beginners, recreational players and younger players transitioning to a full-length adult racquet.
The fast handling is also an advantage at the net and during quick exchanges.
16x20 String Pattern – Control with Good Access to Spin
The open 16x20 string pattern provides a good combination of control and spin.
The string pattern helps the player generate rotation on the ball while offering a slightly more controlled response than a traditional 16x19 pattern.
Graphite Construction for Improved Feel
The racquet's graphite-based construction provides a more stable and responsive feel compared with basic aluminium racquets.
This makes Blade 101 Team a good option for players buying their first more serious tennis racquet and looking for a model they can continue to develop their game with.
Blade Feel in a More Accessible Package
The Wilson Blade series is best known for its control and ball feel. Blade 101 Team combines these characteristics with a larger head size and lower weight.
The result is a more accessible Blade racquet that does not require the same swing speed and technique as the heavier performance models.
