power & spin

Reputable for its unique Spin Effect string pattern, the Blade 98S v8 evolves its design and layup to amplify the wow factor with every swing. First, the design: thanks to an incredibly fascinating colour-shifting matte finish, this racket is able to morph between shades of green and copper depending on how the sun reflects. Second, the technology: FORTYFIVE° and DirectConnect team up to produce increased flexibility and stability for enhanced connected-to-the-ball feel. Perfect for players flashing the modern, vertical swing path common in today's competitive landscape, the Blade 98S v8 should be the racket of choice for anyone seeking supreme feel and appealing design with easy access to spin.

  • Only racket in Blade v8 lineup with Spin Effect Technology, which increases ball rotation without changing your swing
  • FORTYFIVE° increases flexibility and stability to produce a more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the modern, vertical swing path used by most competitive players
  • DirectConnect extends the carbon fibre handle to connect directly to the end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability
  • Dynamic, colour-shifting matte finish allows frame to morph between shades of green and copper
  • Top Grip Taper provides better feel for top-hand grip placement
  • Ergonomic End Cap yields improved comfort and playability
  • Braided Graphite + Basalt composition improves the flex of a racket to produce enhanced feel and control
  • Parallel Drilling provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response
