Wilson Blade 98 V10 Tennis Racquet Review | The Blade Gets Some Muscle

The Wilson Blade 98 just hit its 10th generation, and we put it through its paces at Tennis Express. In this review, we break down everything you need to know about the 2026 Blade 98 v10 — from the refined beam geometry and updated layup to how it actually feels when you're swinging freely from the baseline.

The v10 carries forward the Blade DNA players have trusted for years: precision, feel, and a flexible frame that rewards players who bring their own pace and spin. This version adds a touch more torsional stability and a slightly refined upper hoop design, giving you a more solid connection at contact without straying from the classic Blade formula. Tour pros like Aryna Sabalenka are already on it, and after testing it ourselves, it's easy to see why.
