We finally got the Wilson Blade 100 V9!! Blade 100 vs. Speed MP vs. Percept 100 | Rackets & Runners 

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Merci!

Pleener it is! Thank you!

Unfortunately, we don't carry it right now 🥲

Thank you very much! Go for the Blade as a more “relaxed” racket, for sure.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! That's Luxilon 4G at 52 pounds!

Would love this as well! It would be a sight for sore eyes being able to witness Luca’s roger-like forehand for an entire set!

Yes!

Interesting. And how would you compare them for confort, stability and spin ?

@@Le-Chuck I would say the comfort is about the same as the Ezone 98, no better no worse. Stability and spin is much better though than the Ezone 98. Feels like you have more control and I am not sending as many balls long. Less power than the Ezone, but feels like you can place shots better and a great deal of top spin when needed. I can though only compare this racket to the Ezone as that is what I had been using for the last 2 years. I dont change rackets that often so it takes a lot for me to change and I really cant see me going back to the Ezone now, it hasnt come out of my bag since I started using the Percept 100!

Ok. Thx for the helpful details. Have you played/tried the vcore pro 100 before the percept ?

@Le-Chuck no hadn't tried the Vcore Pro before and to be honest I didn't know they did a 100 inch version. I just felt my Ezone was a little over powered at times so wanted a frame with more control. I like Yonex frames and the Percept 100 feels lovely to use, I am really happy with it and super impressed. It just seems to suit my game. Also it has a 16 / 19 string pattern which I prefer and again this seems to help with extra spin and was the same string pattern as the Ezone. Also the weight is much the same as the Ezone so I think all these factors helped me move to the Percept without feeling like a complete change of racket! More a transition than a fresh start!!

@@markhibbitt1269 ok. Thx for your answers. It s helpful. Have a nice day.

Yes! I recently played with some lighter rackets and really appreciated how they played so I'll get to it soon.

No don’t worry too much about a change in guage!

Second this

Beckett has already reviewed it on his channel.

We don't carry it, unfortunately.

Yes the Gravity is basically another racket in the comparison at this point 😅

Yes would also love a review on those two frames! On a separate note… can you please review your rackets with every grip size (0-5) because they all play different! Just a tip to make the play tests more fair. Love the content man and I’ll be cheering on England with you this euros!

String type and tension?

I've never played with the 100G unfortunately so I really can't say.

It will be low but you’ll get used to it as it’s definitely not low on spin!

I totally agree.

Head speed is better bcause stiffness RA 64

Yes, the Speed is a very comfortable racket.

Merci! Speed si tu veux plus de control et Aero si tu veux la racket « spin » la plus traditionnelle. En terme de cordage je ferai quelque chose de neutre dans la Speed et plus tôt un cordage spin comme RPM Blast ou rough dans l’Aero.

Its already got a pretty beefy swingweight so I'm not sure its necessary. I wouldn't use any other than to match.

It's interesting because it's so similar to the Speed on paper that you would think so but it's actually quite different on court (maybe not so much to the Speed) but definitely to the other two. I may make a Speed vs. Shift video in the coming weeks.

I wouldn't say they're too similar but, yes, precision is really good on the Blade 100. I have briefly played with the Percept 100D but not enough for a review as we unfortunately don't carry it.

You can go for a forgiving 98 like the Ezone but there are quite a few 100s nowadays that don't have the classic tweener feel which you might be talking about.

Good question, I should make a video about that, but the Percept 97 for me!

Volkl mentioned 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🎿🎿🎿

That's exactly what I would do to it!

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver How about the string? Head Lynx Tour 1.30 at 23kg in the mains and Iso Speed Classic Pro 1.20 at 24kg in the crosses. Or 24 and 25? First time will use the setup of course.

In this video I was using RPM Blast at 53 pounds.

Go for the Blade 100 if you're looking for that lower swingweight. It's still plenty playable and more comfortable in that regard.

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver Thanks Luca, as brilliant as ever...

He did a video about this and the percept was #1

@@martinltmr8590 The 100 or the 97?

@@martinltmr8590 I thought that was the Percetp 97, not the Percept 100?

@@SilverBloodedOne Correct, In my personal experience I did improve my OHBH using the this percept, I found it more forgiving than the 97 since I'm an intermediate recreacional player.

@@martinltmr8590 nice to hear! Are you still using the racquet? Or have you tied the 100D?

Not too niche but we just haven't brought them in yet.

I think it is but we haven't brought it in yet.

Anything with a small head size, constant beam and 18x20 string pattern.

We have one up with the old Blade - not sure it's worth doing a new one but if that's something that interests people I may do it.

Yes!

Blade 100 only exists in 16/19. (What you ask is for the 98 version 😉)

16x19!

Totally agree with you on the feel, but I do think the way they all swing through the air is important to their playability.

Yes, definitely. The Ezone has more spin and power and the Blade has more control and a more traditional flex.

Unfortunately not.

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver that sucks. I’ve been demoing the strike 100 16x20 the past few days and am really considering switching from my aero but I haven’t tried the strike 98 and don’t know how it compares.

We don't carry the 100, unfortunately.

Blade 100 and Speed 100 are equal to me!

We don't carry it, unfortunately.

On paper it is exactly what I am looking for. But I’ve really disliked every one I’ve hit. Feels wrong, new ones have too much weight exactly at 12. Playing with Prince Tour 100 now

Don't know about that 3.0 claim but everything else I think is spot on.

Hi, what is the tension used for the Hyper G Soft on the Speed MP?

Nah, the speed mp feels clubby and is slow through the air. It's good allrounder if you don't know what you really need. I need less power, more control, more speed through the air and manoeuvrability. And i need more weight in my racket but that is really changeable. As such rackets that are more for me are: gravity pro, radical pro, percept 97, vcore 95, cx200 tour
