Yeah, both the Blade and Clash are pretty good sellers for Wilson even though they target different demographics (Blade is a control racquet for high level players including many pros while the Clash is more of a comfort racquet more suited for recreational players). I'm not sure how well the Shift is selling although I saw a recent video where Andy Roddick had decided to switch to the Shift (he helped put Babolat on the map before Rafa arrived on the scene). The Ultra is Wilson's power racquet although I think most people prefer either a Pure Drive or an Ezone over a Ultra.

The fact that this new racquet carries Roger's name (even has the RF logo on the butt cap) will definitely lead to big sales for Wilson, though.
