Wilson Blade Feel 103 Tennis Racket
The Wilson Blade Feel 103 Tennis Racket is an arm-friendly, factory-strung tennis racket designed around control, feel and stability. Its 103 in² head, 280 g strung weight and Perimeter Weighting System combine to provide a stable, balanced response, including additional stability when contact moves away from the centre of the strings.
The Blade Feel 103 uses a 103 in² head size, giving the racket a mid-size playing area while retaining the control-focused character of the Blade Feel design.
Wilson's Perimeter Weighting System increases frame volume at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Adding structure around these areas improves torsional stability and helps the racket remain more stable when the ball is struck away from the centre of the string bed.
This can be particularly useful on less-than-perfect contact, where a more stable frame can help reduce unwanted twisting through the hands.
The 16 x 20 string pattern provides a relatively dense string layout. Wilson uses this setup to create a solid feel on contact and complement the Blade Feel 103's emphasis on control.
Who is the Wilson Blade Feel 103 best for?
The Wilson Blade Feel 103 is best suited to tennis players looking for an arm-friendly racket with an emphasis on control, feel and stability. Its Perimeter Weighting System is particularly relevant for players who value additional torsional stability when contact is made away from the centre of the racket.
