Product Overview
The Wilson Blade Smart GRUUV V2 Paddle features a slightly larger head size than Blade paddles of the past, to meet the needs of more players. Now the same surface area as the Steam family of paddles, but with a traditional round shape, this new size will increase forgiveness at ball contact, resulting in more impactful shots in the event you connect just a bit off center.
The Blade SMART is unique by design as it has an "Oreo Cookie" type core design, with the outer eva foam layers nearest the face (think the cookie part) being softer for touch shots and the inner most core (think the frosting) being firmer density for more power on harder drive shots. Thus the name "Smart Density". This type of core provides a just-right response based on the speed with which it meets the ball.
For players seeking the original, smaller head size Blade paddle, shop our limited remaining stock of the original Blade Gruuv (non V2) on our site. Players best suited to a small head are those coming from table tennis, or those who prefer less bulk and more racquet head speed for their on court advantage.
To sum it up: The Wilson Blade Smart Paddle is geared toward any player who wants a mid weight paddle with a balanced blend of power and control.
Of all the Blade paddles, this one is the most adaptable to a variety of player levels and styles.
