About this core

A EVA soft core. 44% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

Weight documentation is incomplete, so check the specimen. Value 72 carries the usual Wilson premium. The card describes a pleasant, attack-leaning frame for improving players drawn to the Blade name in its most accessible form. The Spanish mid-market matches these numbers for less; the badge and the build quality are what the difference buys. Demo and decide which matters.

Highlights

Top 45% for power, and in the bottom quarter for control.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 36% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
