Wilson Blade V4 (2026)

Editorial assessment · 2026 model

The Blade V4 combines a carbon/fibreglass face with Firm EVA in a teardrop head. Its 365 g nominal weight puts it between the 355 g Bela LS and the 370 g Bela Pro. We would consider it for an intermediate player who wants a firm core and is comfortable with a standard weight.

Best for
Intermediate and experienced players who want a teardrop racket with a firm core around 365 g.
Main trade-off
The firm core suits players who want that response, but makes this a poor choice if soft contact is your priority.

Our assessment

Check the exact Blade model

This is the standard green Blade V4, reference WR203611U2. Wilson's face specification is carbon/fibreglass composite, paired with Firm EVA. Read those two fields together when deciding whether it suits you.

We would compare it with your current racket during defensive blocks and short volleys, where your preference for a softer or firmer response should become clearer. The materials alone do not support a precise comfort score, and the Pro name on another Blade does not make that version a better fit for you.

Consider an alternative if: You want a soft foam racket, a pure-carbon face or a lighter model.

Strengths

  • The teardrop head and medium balance suit players who prefer that setup to a high-balance diamond.
  • A textured surface is included for players who prefer a rough face.

Drawbacks

  • The Firm EVA core will not suit a buyer specifically seeking a soft model.
  • Its 365 g nominal weight gives little reason to choose it solely for lightness.

FAQ

Does the Blade V4 have a carbon face?
It has a carbon/fibreglass composite face, not a pure-carbon face. The frame uses Wilson's C2 carbon tubular construction. This specification applies to the standard Blade V4; Blade Pro is a separate model.
Does the Blade V4 use soft EVA?
No. Wilson lists Firm EVA for the standard Blade V4. If you specifically want a softer core, compare a model such as Bela LS or Optix instead of choosing this Blade on the assumption that it uses soft foam.
