<p>Thanks, James! Definite confirmation that it is a Wilson prototype and that it is a 98! Incredible change indeed!</p>

<p>I saw the reasons that it is not one of the commercially available Blades, but there is no doubt in my mind that that frame is made with the same form as a Blade. It is a very distinctive shape.</p>

<p>Yes, I remember that Mizuno racquet. Lendl didn't seem to be as accurate on his backhand pass with that racquet.</p>

<p>For the reasons at the bottom of the thread, it cannot be a Wilson Blade 93 or 98. It also cannot be one of Haas' Prestige MP, since that racquet's mains skip at the 8 and 10 holes.</p>
<p>One person believes Wilson is coming out with a new Pro Staff 95 line and this is the prototype.</p>

<p>Reminds me of Lendl in his last years of his career. Switched to Mizno and could not win a Wimbledon title. After that, he switched back and forth between a Mizno racket and GTX Pro-T with a Mizno paint job.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's funny how people will change their racquets because Federer does...I use the BLX 90 and always thought it was a great racquet but makes the game that much harder because of the small hitting surface and the need to be so precise on your hits, so I've been testing the BLX 100 version and I think it makes the game so much easier if you have a slightly off day...</p>

<p>Either way, Wilson is going to suddenly sell a lot of Blades! I play with the 98 and I love it. I hope Fed stays with this larger racquet and gives it time because I really want to see if his game improves.</p>
