The lightest, most maneuverable racquet in the V9 series, the Blade 100UL is the ideal model for transitioning junior players. Featuring a new Emerald Night Green matte finish, this racquet has an open string pattern that gives players an optimal blend of control, feel and power. Its braided graphite + basalt frame with DirectConnect carbon fiber handle delivers an improved feel and enhanced torsional stability. Racquet Technology Parallel Drilling: Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot. FORTYFIVE: Patent-protected frame layup produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern, vertical swing path. The material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing. Tapered grip lends a better feel for top-handed grip placement on the two-handed backhand. DirectConnect: Carbon fiber handle extends to directly connect with end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability. StableFeel technology provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel.
