Wilson Blade 104 V10

290 g and 104 sq in: a current Blade option to compare if you want an all-court balance of depth and control.

Editorial verdict

Is it worth demoing?

Best for

Demo the Blade 104 if you want an all-court balance of depth and control. Keep the strings and grip setup close to your current racket so you are comparing the frame, not a completely different setup.

Think twice if

Check that any extra depth or spin remains predictable when you accelerate. A specification advantage is not a guarantee that you will play better. The extended length also needs a separate check on serves, returns and quick exchanges.

Alternatives worth demoing

Editorial shortlist based on published frame class and weight; compare on court.

Head

Radical MP 2025

A 300 g all-court racket with a 98 sq in head, for club players who swing with confidence.

£169.99All Things Tennis · strung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: The smaller head asks for more accurate contact than a 100 sq in frame. Check your timing in the last half-hour, not just the first.

Head

Speed MP 2026

Head’s all-rounder: 300 g, for players who split their time between the baseline and the net.

£162.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: Check you can still swing it freely at the end of a long session. If your preparation starts to slow, a lighter model may suit you better.

Wilson

Blade 100 v10

The Blade with a bigger 100 sq in head, for players who find the 98 a little too exacting.

£189.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: A bigger head doesn’t automatically mean more pace. If depth is your main problem, try the EZONE 100 as well.

Strings and ownership

Use the manufacturer range above where it is published. Agree the material, thickness and starting tension with your stringer; there is no universal setup for this frame.

Buying used

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.
