A 305 g Blade for players who prioritise placement and make their own pace.
£179.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06Trade-off: The 98 sq in head asks for clean contact. Stretched wide or late on a quick return, there’s less frame to bail you out. The Blade 100 gives you a little more room.
The previous Blade 98, for players with full, confident swings.
