Review Of The Wilson Clash 100L V2
Clare Lim
Having tried it out on the court for 2 months, here’s my review of the Wilson Clash v2.0 100L.
Specifications: 100 sq in, 280g, 9 pt HL, 16x19.
Its specifications are suitable for most beginners and intermediate players. I find the matte design and colour combination very appealing, sleek and sexy.
At the baseline, it’s easy to manoeuvre the racket with long groundstrokes, full swings and faster racket-head speed. Because of its light weight, I find it easy to shorten my swing to return faster balls. It is also spin-friendly, thanks to the open 16x19 string pattern. The string-bed offers a comfortable response even when I miss the sweet spot.
At the net, the Clash v2 provides both comfort and control, and is great for reflex volleys. However, stability is a little compromised against hard hitters.
What I like most about it is that it is very flexible and forgiving. Unlike most of my other rackets, I did not feel much vibration in my elbow and arm, as it is less stiff. This is a HUGE bonus for me. It feels like I can swing it fast and easily all day long with much comfort - provided I had more stamina and strength!
The Clash v2.0 would be one of my main work horses for the next few years, thanks to its comfort and flexibility!
This red and black racket retails at Play! Tennis Pro Shop for SGD $270.
The Clash V2.0 FortyFive technology allows the racket to bend across a wide range of stroke paths, enabling a comfortable feel at impact.
