Tolerance – Why and How Much?
This topic comes up frequently when clients are at Racquet Quest’s World Headquarters. But what if you are not at the World Headquarters?
Wilson Blade v10 here? Yes!
The Wilson Blade series has been one of the most recognized tennis racquets over the past several years, and this v10 builds on that reputation!
We will be adding our typical review (yes, numbers) and images soon. I can tell you that images won’t convey the appeal of this racquet’s color!
Wilson Blade 98 v10
So, stop by the Word Headquarters and see it LIVE, and even try a demo of one of the models.

Right here…Right now! Squared
The brand new Head Squared racquets are here, but we don’t expect them to be here long! This is a much-anticipated arrival, and we are excited to show and talk about this racquet.
Head Squared…Here!
In a “nutshell,” this racquet departs from some norms. That is the Dual Tube foam-filled addition to the shaft, enhancing comfort and calmness.
A 16 x 18 string pattern that offers easy access to deep ball contact.
The overall weight is ideal for aggressive, stable play, and the swing weight makes it easy to handle… and fun!
You can see all the technical stuff in the previous post, but the real way to see the racquet is to be here.
