Wilson Clash 100 Tennis Racquet WR005611U

Product Review (submitted on February 19, 2019):

I tried the Wilson Clash over two days and 5 sets. My review is based on doubles play at a 4.0-4.5 level.

This racquet is very unique as far as combining a very solid feel along with power and control.

Advantages:

Plenty of control when hitting out to generate power.
Groundstrokes have great feel and good placement.
Serving and volleys offers the ability to place the ball well.
Easy on arm.
Disadvantages:

Touch shots are more difficult with groundstrokes and volleys.
Fast exchange volleys in doubles are more difficult as you don’t get a lot of “pop” off a reflex volley.
Flat groundstrokes can float a bit but adjustments with more time would probably fix this.
Conclusion:

If I were a singles player this racquet would be tough to beat with the combination of easy groundstrokes and the ability to hit with power while maintaining control. As I play only doubles with a serve and volley game, some of the disadvantages were difficult to overcome. For many players this will be a great choice, and It was nice to see that Wilson marketed this as a very different racquet and it truly was.
