Wilson
Blade 98 18x20 v10 (2026)
The Blade 98 18x20 v10 is the precision weapon of the v10 lineup — all the TurboTaper speed and StableFeel+ stability of the 16x19 version, but with a denser 18x20 string bed that rewards players who win through placement and consistency rather than raw spin. The 18x20 gives the ball a more predictable, penetrating response. Elite Spec Control tightens manufacturing tolerances so every swing feels exactly as expected. Championship Green marks the 10th generation in style.
