Wilson Blade Tour XP 103 Tennis Racket
The Wilson Blade Tour XP 103 Tennis Racket is designed for recreational and developing tennis players looking for a balance of accessible power, stability and manoeuvrability. Featuring a 103 in² head, 290 g strung weight and an open 16 x 19 string pattern, it provides a versatile setup for players developing consistency and confidence on court.
With Wilson's Double Hole Technology, Arc 2 Technology and an Airlite Bumper Guard, the Blade Tour XP 103 combines responsive performance with practical frame protection.
Power and control with Double Hole Technology
Wilson's Double Hole Technology is designed to enhance power and control through the string bed, helping players generate depth on groundstrokes while maintaining a controlled response.
The 16 x 19 string pattern provides an open string bed that can help players generate spin, particularly when brushing up the back of the ball during topspin groundstrokes.
Combined with the 103 in² (665 cm²) head size, the racket offers a useful hitting area for players looking to develop consistent ball striking.
Who is the Wilson Blade Tour XP 103 best for?
The Wilson Blade Tour XP 103 is best suited to beginner, recreational and developing intermediate tennis players who want a balance of power, control and manoeuvrability.
Its 103 in² head and 16 x 19 string pattern make it particularly suitable for players developing consistent groundstrokes, experimenting with topspin and building confidence during rallies.
The 290 g strung weight also makes it worth considering for players who prefer a manageable racket rather than a heavier, more demanding competition frame.
What should you consider before buying?
The Blade Tour XP 103 provides a balance of accessible power and stability rather than the specialised control characteristics of a smaller, heavier competition racket.
Players with faster, more developed swings who prefer a heavier frame may want to compare alternative racket weights and head sizes.
