I think the V7 is the one off spec because the 100 version is 300 unstrung and the swing weight should be around 327 but yours has a little bit more weight and that swing weight that is a pro level swing weight. The V8 sample has a better QC than the V7, that's why they feel so different
Maybe get a micrometer and give the width measurement specs when reviewing and comparing versions for me the Blade is great racquet @ 50 lbs smooth as silk
If you have elbow issues, I think 100 (300 gram, 62RA) will be better for you because it is more flexible than 100L (285 gram, 69 RA). IMHO, lighter racket might not be good for tennis elbow. If you want an arm-friendly racket with similar weight to Blade 100L, you can try Wilson Clash 100L (280 gram, 54 RA).
I have tried both 100 and 100L version. Btw the two I would recommend 100. If you are looking for a elbow friendly racquets I would stay away from blade line as they are not that great for your elbow. I would suggest wilson clash or head gravity for arm friendliness.
I went from Clash 100 pro to blade 98 v8 16x19. Liked the Clash a lot but love the new Blade. Not as easy to get big spin but it's got superb feel. Gotta have the swing to use it, though.
I've seen reviews of the v7 98 that describe it as unwieldy, while others rave about it. Maybe the v7 QA just wasn't so good. Really like my v8 98 though.
Harry, found this video!! Where are all the V7 Blade 100s? Bought one last fall and was looking for a spare. THEY ARE NOWHERE!!! No retailer including Wilson are carrying a racquet that has been out barely a year! Im confused, do you know anything?
Really poor review for me, sorry. If you are not sure about taper system why do not you just measure it? And if feels like a strike 100 or a lower powered pure drive? Strike is really muted and Drive is stiff. So is Blade 100 V8 flexible and give you more feel or is muted or stiff? Whats the stiffness? Thank you.
Probably because they expect lower sales quantities. When they put stock at the retailers there might be a risk on slow moving stock and that might block the sales of fast moving models since they invested in dead stock. So reducing stock risk at the retailers side
I really like the Blade 100. For me it is a lot better than the 98.
how is control?
@@agradina i Think it is pretty good for a 100
@@karstenhedegaard3575 i find only diferent stifness for it on sites from 60 to 69 i dont know what is real stifness
Time to review Blade 100 again and in depth :)
Yeah. Going to demo soon. Hope it’s similar to my gravity mp as a nice alternative
How does it compare with Blade 98 16x19 ?

These blades are good. What he is saying is right
How does it feel compared to a VCore 100 or Pure Strike 100?
Maybe get a micrometer and give the width measurement specs when reviewing and comparing versions for me the Blade is great racquet @ 50 lbs smooth as silk
can you compare power levels of 100L to 100? is it the same or significantly different? I have ellbow issues so I am considering the L version..
it seems he gave us values for strung rackets

@@jonathankim7238I have tried 100UL and it feels amazing, probably at 62 RA. Was the L version harsh on your arm?
I want to switch from Clash 100 to Blade. Good idea ? Pro staff is 2 much 4 me
good idea.

I changed from Clash to Blade as well. Feel much stiffer, think i need more time; otherwise i will go for another softer
How does it compare to the Wilson Six One 100 v13
338 sw for the v7 when its supposed to be 326. That's ridiculous, that could easily make it unplayable for many people.

I miss the blade tour 93
Hi, do you have it in the store?
as long as he is having fun
There's a name to the color: iridescent.
indescent
I'm on a mission to get Harry to use the proper name for a link/address/url....it's not 'network'
Is it head light/heavy or even balance?
Is the swing weight much lower compared to the v7?

That handle = Amplifeel Resurrected!
V8 100 sells here, stiffness is 69 and swing weight 314 vs V7 stiffness 62 and swing weight 325 😀
v7 better ?
It seems you are talking about V8 100L? 😉
@@ssportslivetvstreaming only tried the v7 and waiting on v8 demo, v7 is soft plush I prefer it be a tad stiffer, very good top spin compared to 98.
Wilson QC. 🤷🏽♂️
They always put their variations +/- for their rackets. Unless you get a ProLab
Does anyone know the flex on the 100 v8? I hope it's less than the v7.
Most likely 100 v8 is just a PJ of v7. Therefore flex should be the same as v7, i.e., 62 RA.
@@juggernauts9880 thx.
It is not a pj, mold is different.
Thanks 👍 interesting
thanks
I saw the new Wilson Blade in person and it pretty feminine looking multicolored racquet! Looks much different in person.
I don’t think it looks feminine. If it were pink or lavender I would think so. It looks neutral as it is.
What? It doesn't have skulls?
Keep talking about blade 🥰
Also maybe cut them in half for better viewing you can afford it now
Why doesn’t Wilson let retailers sell that model?
Probably because they expect lower sales quantities. When they put stock at the retailers there might be a risk on slow moving stock and that might block the sales of fast moving models since they invested in dead stock. So reducing stock risk at the retailers side
is this racquet head light or head heavy?
RTFS
Oh no, Blade again.
Don't get lazy on us harry, that was an awful display of hitting.
Urgh... Too many videos on blade already... 🙄
