Emanating dynamic vibes thanks to bold, colour-shifting paint, the Blade 100L v8 loads the technological innovations of the Blade v8 line-up into a lighter, more manoeuvrable frame. Two innovations define the evolution of this frame: FORTYFIVE° supplies increased flexibility and stability through a patent-protected carbon construction, while DirectConnect connects the carbon fibre handle to the end cap for enhanced feel and torsional stability. Avid fans of the Blade franchise looking for a slightly arm-friendlier option will appreciate the lightweight, connected-to-the-ball feel this frame delivers.

The TWM Pro says... 'One of the most popular rackets on the market and a favourite on the professional tour. the Blade 100L enables all of the racket's usual attributes in a lighter, 285g package. Whilst testing, the V8 offered noticeably more power than the previous version, and a little more spin, without losing the famed control this racket offers.'
