The TWM Pro says... 'One of the most popular rackets on the market and a favourite on the professional tour. the Blade 100UL enables all of the racket's usual attributes in a lighter, 265g package, ideal for junior players or a player with arm problems. 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.'
