Wilson Blade 98 (18x20) v8 Roland Garros

Sporting a refined look with French script font patterned across the frame, the Wilson Blade 98 (18x20) v8 Roland Garros commands attention with an eye-catching design. While its clay-inspired looks stand out, the frame features new FORTYFIVE technology to increase flexibility and stability, yielding an excellent feel for the modern, vertical swing path common in today's game. In addition, the carbon fiber handle extends to the end cap for an enhanced feel and torsional stability, creating a frame that exceeds all expectations for the most popular racquet franchise on the pro tour.
