Our verdict

The Blade Jr scales Wilson's teardrop Blade shape down for younger players — lighter and far more forgiving than the adult Blade line, built to teach technique rather than compete on power. PRR score: 68/100.

We loved
  • Genuinely lightweight and easy to swing for junior players
  • High tolerance keeps off-centre hits from discouraging beginners
  • Carries the same Blade shape and look as the adult line
Worth knowing
  • Power is deliberately minimal — a teaching racket, not a competitive one
  • Juniors progressing past beginner level will outgrow it quickly

A genuine teardrop, scaled for learning

This is Wilson's junior-scaled take on the Blade shape - a genuinely lighter build that keeps the same teardrop profile and soft core as the adult line, just tuned entirely around forgiveness rather than pace. Off-centre hits are noticeably kinder here than on a full-size frame, which matters for a player still learning where the sweet spot is. We wouldn't expect it to hold up once a junior starts generating real racket-head speed, but as a first proper teardrop racket that actually teaches the shape's strengths, it does its job well.
