A genuinely balanced all-courter, minus the Pro's edge
The Blade V4's teardrop shape and even balance sit right in the middle of Wilson's line, giving it a genuinely balanced feel rather than pulling hard toward power or control. The soft EVA core and hybrid carbon-fibreglass face keep the strike forgiving and arm-friendly, so mishits off centre don't sting the way they do on a stiffer, higher-carbon frame. We'd point committed attackers toward the firmer Blade Pro instead, but for an advanced all-court player who wants one racket that does a bit of everything, this is a sensible pick.
