Who should pick which
- Head size: Wilson Blade 104 v9 (2024) is 25.8 cm² higher. That means a bigger head, so a larger sweet zone and more forgiveness on mishits — the other gives you a smaller head, so tighter dispersion and more predictable control.
Differences are computed from published specs only. Where a value is missing for either racket the row is marked incomplete and excluded from this list — an inference across a missing number is a guess, not a comparison.
