Featuring a new Emerald Night Green matte finish, the Blade 104 V9 is equipped with the largest head size in the Blade series, resulting in a generous sweet spot and an optimal balance of control and power. It has a braided graphite + basalt frame with a DirectConnect carbon fiber handle that delivers better feel and enhanced torsional stability. With an extra-long grip to increase reach, it features an open 16x19 string pattern and StableFeel technology designed to sharpen responses and increase stability.

Parallel Drilling

Grommet construction provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response while dramatically increasing the sweet spot.

Fortyfive

Patent-protected frame layup produces more connected-to-the-ball feel while better complementing the more modern, vertical swing path. Material increases both flexibility and stability without compromise through the swing.

Braided Graphite + Basalt

Elastic and reactive material combination improves the flex of a racket to increase ball contact with the strings for enhanced feel and greater control.

Top Grip Taper

Tapered grip lends better feel for top-handed grip placement on two-handed backhand.

DirectConnect

Carbon fiber handle extends to directly connect with end cap for improved feel and enhanced torsional stability.

StableFeel

The new Blade technology that provides an enhanced, firmer feel that increases stability and creates a more connected-to-the-ball feel. Designed with avid players in mind, this "sharper Blade" is ideal for those seeking to improve their game.

Specs

The Ultra 100 v4 ushers in a new generation of Ultra with supreme style and invigorating performance. Thanks to a new construction and a new geometry, this racket plays unlike any Ultra before it. Highlighted by the integration of FORTYFIVE° into the lay-up for a softer, more comfortable feel along with enhanced stability, this frame upgrades the delivery of easy power for its users. Key geometrical updates include an expanded Sweet Spot Channel at the tip of the hoop for extra power and reduced bulk in the beams for a sleeker, more aerodynamic look. On the subject of looks, this racket has no rival: color-shifting blues dance to the different angles of sun rays deflecting off the racket surface for a dazzling display.

• Most popular, versatile and powerful racket in Ultra v4 lineup
• FORTYFIVE° strategically embedded into the lay-up provides enhanced stability while increasing comfort
• Revolutionary design integrates beautiful, color-shifting blue tones with a matte finish for captivating look
• Expanded Sweet Spot Channel features cavity on inside of frame to extend cross strings and increase grommet movement for more power
• Crush Zone grommet system compresses at impact to boost power and ball dwell time on strings
• Revised geometry applies more comfortable, ergonomic design and reduces bulk while maintaining stability
• Parallel Drilling provides a consistent, more forgiving string bed response
• Agiplast plant-based bumper, grommet and end cap components reduce environmental footprint
• Racket comes unstrung unless "Add Strings" option is selected
