Nearly New Wilson Blade 98 V9 (16x19) (Strung)

This racket is not brand new, and has visible bumper grommet damage along with minor cosmetic paint damage to the frame. The marks are purely cosmetic, with no structural damage or cracks. 

Please note that this racket cannot be returned, unless there is structural damage during transport, or not as described.

Its new Emerald Night matte finish looks amazing, and our playtesters have noticed a marked change in stability and power, the frame plays slightly stiffer than the V8, but this comes with much more stability and increased power. There is also an enhanced feel on impact due to the DirectConnect carbon fibre handle , while the braided graphite + basalt frame and provides increased torsional stability. With an open string pattern, this racket delivers consistent and spin-friendly shots.
