All the testers were impressed with the performance of the Blade 98.

Tester David said his ground strokes were “good without being massive” and the racket was very comfortable when rallying, albeit less easy to hit through the court.

Tim said it offered “a good mixture of control for all strokes,” as well as being “nicely balanced and weighted.”

That’s nothing less than you would expect from Wilson.

With its sleek matt-black colour and thin flexible beam, this is a good intermediate racket and one which is arm-friendly.
