It is built for recreational players who are still developing timing and technique, where getting the face to the ball on time matters far more than how much mass is behind the hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compromise is what happens against a heavy ball. A 300 g racket can be pushed around by a hard-struck return in a way a 365 g frame cannot, and there is less help available on the smash. Wilson works against that with a fiberglass weave layup for stability and a core foam that softens contact, so the frame stays steady and comfortable rather than feeling flimsy. Holes through the face are there to increase grip on the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300 g weight\u003c\/strong\u003e is the lightest in the Blade padel range, which shortens swing preparation and reduces fatigue over a long session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeardrop head shape\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps a little more weight up the frame than a round racket, so overheads are not entirely unsupported.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft EVA core\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the strike comfortable and takes the sting out of off-center contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiberglass weave construction\u003c\/strong\u003e holds the face stable through impact, which is what stops a light racket feeling vague.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore foam\u003c\/strong\u003e softens the moment of contact rather than firing the ball straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerforated face\u003c\/strong\u003e increases bite on the ball for players learning to brush up on lobs and defensive shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo grip sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e are offered, 0 and 2, so smaller hands are covered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teardrop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft EVA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 g (10.6 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 and 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Padel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecreational players who play socially and want a racket that is easy to handle from the first swing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller or lighter players, including juniors, who cannot control a 355 to 365 g frame yet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers still learning where the ball meets the face and who need a forgiving, comfortable frame while they work it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who has tried a heavier racket and found their arm tired before the match ended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTennis or pickleball players trying padel for the first time and wanting a low-commitment starting point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy This Racket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the entry point to the Blade padel family and it is priced accordingly. It shares the teardrop shape and the soft EVA core with the Blade LS V4, so moving up later is a change in weight rather than a change in feel — useful if you expect to upgrade within a season or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose something else if you already hold your own in competitive matches. Against players who hit hard, 300 g will be pushed off line and you will notice the missing mass on smashes; the Blade LS V4 at 355 g or the standard Blade V4 at 365 g are the next steps up. Buy this one if you are starting out, buying for a lighter player, or want a spare racket that anyone in the family can pick up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilson","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":51872569721127,"sku":"WR213811U0","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 1\/4\"","offer_id":51872569753895,"sku":"WR213811U2","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1248\/6269\/files\/wilson-blade-jr-v4-padel-racket-5224644.png?v=1787037249","url":"https:\/\/www.racquetpoint.com\/products\/wilson-blade-jr-v4-padel-racket","provider":"Racquet Point","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
