Wilson Tennis Racquet, Blade 101L V7.0, Unisex

I bought the v6 (2018) version of the 101L about 9 months ago and was really happy with it. Needed an identical backup racket for when a string breaks, which for me is about once every 6-9 months. Got this new version (v7) and it feels pretty much the same. Only issue for me is that pre-strung rackets never come with the correct tension (they are always too tight) so I had to replace the brand new string (with better quality) and get it strung to 54 lbs. At that tension it feels lovely, with a great combination of power and control (i.e. spin).

Really pleased with this racket, has made a considerable difference to my game, although in part is due to having the correct size handle.

First I will say for this racket look into how to customize weight and balance of a racket with lead tape. Else you will find it hard to hit through fast balls; the racket will twist. This racket is basically a frame that you're meant to customize, so I bought a replacement grip, over grip and some lead tape to add weight to it. The balance is good, head light (but not too much) so if you're intermediate level it gives you amazing touch; but you do have to put a bit of power in yourself. I would consider this racket the perfect stepping stone on your way to a pro staff style racket. I went from a head heavy 110sq inch to this and it felt great, I found I was able to hit the ball far more consistently. In a couple of years I will go onto a RF97 as I get better.

Growing to love this racket. Cheapest of the v7 Blade range, don't know what they skimped on, but for the weight this racket gives lots of power balanced with very good control. Switched from a more expensive Pro-Staff 97L CV, which feels a bit muffled. This racket has more bite with lots of spin.

Moved from a Slazenger racket to this. If you have a one handed backhand and are an intermediate player, this racket generates lots of spin for it's weight. The only drawback of the light weight is that you do need a lot of power in your swing to play a baseline to baseline game. Works for me as I usually play doubles but more competetive singles player may want a slightly heaviet racket.

Hardly any vibration with this racquet and feels stable in the hand. Does not have a large sweet spot though and the feel is pretty good even with the strings supplied.

Love the feeling of this racket.. very light and well balanced!
