Wilson Blade V4 Review

The Wilson Blade V4 is the flagship of Wilson’s 2026 Blade range: a 365 g teardrop with a carbon and fiberglass composite face, a firm EVA core and a balance point of 267 mm. It is built for intermediate and advanced players who want real power without giving up control, and it is easier to live with than the full-carbon Blade Pro V3 it follows.

The Blade V4 launched in August 2026 with no “Pro” model: Wilson’s V4 range is the Blade V4, the Blade LS V4 and the Blade Jr V4. This review covers the build, the specs, how it plays, what changed from the Pro V3, and who should buy it.

Wilson Blade LS V4 Review

The Wilson Blade LS V4 is the lighter, softer version of Wilson’s 2026 Blade. It keeps the teardrop shape and the dual hole pattern, but uses a fiberglass face, Soft ECO foam and a lower 260 mm balance, and Wilson aims it at intermediate players who want smooth handling and an easy swing.

It is shipped by the retailer itself, rather than a third-party reseller, for around $219 in a mint or a pink colorway. This review covers the build, the specs, how it should play, how it differs from the standard Wilson Blade V4 and who should buy it.
