The Wilson Clash V2 is coming! This second version of the successful Clash racket family brings a minor technical update, some interesting specification changes for the heavier models, and a very sleek new look.

Intro

Wilson's first Clash series was a huge success. We also tested these extensively and thoroughly enjoyed doing so. Read the reviews of the Clash 100 and 100 Pro (previously called the 100 Tour) here. The Clash series is known for a soft, comfortable feel (very arm-friendly!), power, and spin. Now it's time for the Clash V2! For the Clash V2, Wilson uses the Braid 45 technology that was also used in the latest Pro Staff and Blade series. This technology is located in the hoop (the top) of the racket head. The carbon fibers are 'braided' at a 45-degree angle to provide more stability higher up in the head and more ball pocketing/connection with the ball. This is actually the most important technical update of the Clash V2.

 

The Clash 98 V2 and Clash 100 Pro V2 feature a 16x20 string pattern instead of 16x19. This provides more control and less extreme string movement for greater consistency. Just like with the latest Blade V8 series, Wilson uses 'Color Shifting Paint'. This gives the racket a very chic shine. Another nice detail is that the racket name 'Clash' is printed around the throat of the frame (see image below). The new Clash V2 series from Wilson will be available in our webshop from March 4, 2022.

First impressions and reviews

The first word is that the Clash V2 offers an even softer feel than version 1. So the outstanding comfort has definitely remained. With the addition of Braid 45, you should also experience slightly more ball feel. But of course, it's time to experience this for yourself. We will soon be releasing detailed reviews of the 98, 100, and 100 Pro. So keep an eye on our social media channels (@mijnracket on Facebook and @tennis_doctor on Instagram)! The new Clash V2 series from Wilson will be available in our webshop from March 4, 2022.
