Blade control DNA in a more forgiving 100 sq in package.
First published 15 September 2026 · Last updated 15 September 2026 Editorial assessment, not a hands-on review.
Should you shortlist it?
Shortlist if you like Blade’s connected feel but find a 98 too small or punishing late in sets. Manufacturer lists 300 g unstrung versus 305 g on the Blade 98 16×19 v10.
The trade-off
More forgiveness than the 98 does not make this a pure power racket. Players chasing easy pop may still prefer Clash 100 v3 or EZONE 100.
What to compare in a demo
Try returns, serves and volleys as well as rallies. Check your swing late in a session. Use similar strings and tension when comparing frames.
