Building on nearly 20 years of dominance, Wilson's Blade performance rackets continue to be the preferred choice of avid competitors looking for ultimate control, feel and stability. The Blade 98 (18x20) V9 has a sharper, more stable response that produces a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Featuring a new Emerald Night matte finish, the v9 has a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber handle for enhanced torsional stability. StableFeel technology enhances the racket's sharp response and the feel of its control-oriented string pattern.
Hamza’s Gear
Solinco Hyper G is the string you should be looking for in you`re in need of huge amounts of spin thanks to its square profile. This dynamic co-polyester string uses the latest in materials and design to give players the winning edge. The string has a unique square shaped profile. This results in exceptional bite on the ball for off the charts spin generation. Solinco made this string for a Top 50 ATP player looking for a string that wasn`t too firm and wasn`t too soft, yet was still able to take massive swings at the ball without overhitting.
