The nBlade from Wilson brings a fresh look to the Wilson player's racquet line up. Compared to the nSix-One range, the nBlade offers a tighter, more control oriented string pattern and a lighter, more maneuverable weight. Even though the strung weight of the nBlade Midplus is only a tad over 11 ounces, the design and playing characteristics of this racquet has it catering more to players with full, aggressive swings, who may traditionally look at heavier racquets. From the baseline, we found this racquet to respond well to aggressive hitting. Fast swings resulted in a pleasingly solid feel, good access to spin and enough control for aggressive targeting. Players with one-handed backhands noted good stability when driving topspin groundstrokes. At net the nBlade Midplus offers a solid feel and plenty of control. We found good feedback both when going for touch volleys and when guiding volleys deep to the open court. On serve we were impressed with the level of spin we could generate. The response of the racquet is very predictable allowing the player a good sense for pace and depth. This well rounded racquet is a solid choice for 4.0+ level players. A high level of comfort and a solid feel is retained thanks to Wilson's nFoam technology. nFoam is a dense nCoded foam which is injected into the core of the racquet to absorb frame vibrations and provide a solid feel. The nBlade Midplus also features Wilson's X-Loop frame geometry - a combination of both flat and rounded beam design which is inverted where the hoop meets the yoke. The result is a rounded beam design in the hoop and a flat beam design in the shaft.
