Wilson Clash 100 V2 Review by Gladiators

Here comes the update of the Wilson Clash 100. Version numero dos. Arguably the most comfortable and arm-friendly racket to play with on the market. Or as Areg likes to say the fluffiest one out there. This is kind of a racket for those who don’t want to get the Ultra and want a somewhat powerful and spinny Wilson racket. That sounds like a pretty negative description but both of us actually liked it. Watch the video all the way to the grades to find out just how much.

YES YOU GUYS DID IT!!!!!!!!!! I love this video so much! Thanks for this review, it was so useful. Now i’m gonna get my hands on this at all costs 😆 Also the intro is so good! Always so funny! Hey you guys should do a video where you guys do 1 handed backhands! Keep it up!!

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you and good luck!! One handed backhand are Areg's speciality 👌🏽

[@KikoKiki]

Considering the weather conditions, I enjoyed the review. However, I can't wait to see the reviews of 100 Pro and 98 (specially the second one). 😀 Apart from that, thanks guys. In windless conditions, if possible.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Will try will try 😂 It's been very windy for the last few weeks in BCN though. Really excited to try the models you've mentioned! Seem to be good rackets. Especially the 98 one, you're right.

[@hrabmv]

i loved the first version so much i almost bought it, but 295 with willson means 300g :) looved the low stiffnes and head light specs!! my yonex is also head light, i think this is perfect racquet for us amateurs:) and big head size gives nice power

[@gladiatorstribe]

You're definitely right! Wouldn't say it's the most powerful racket though.

[@ugoilgabbiano6882]

The intros are amazing

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahahah thank you very much!

[@MrBryantwong]

Would love to see a review of the pro version with the 16x20 string pattern and slightly higher ra

[@gladiatorstribe]

Would absolutely love to review it!

[@bassman12]

@@gladiatorstribe I have the 98 V2 with 310 grams and 16x20 and it is amazing. should be the best of the new clash for advanced players. nice review though. still playing indoors in germany :(

[@patrikmarflak6559]

@@gladiatorstribe You should totally do it if your main concern was low weight. I would expect you to review the Pro version in the first place :)

[@ilyanebraij8495]

thanks for the review!!! I have a question , how would you customize with lead this racquet ? like where would you put it to keep the advantages and just improve penetration through the air and stability ? thanks for reading my message if you read it 🙂

[@evadejong2532]

Damn that wind was insane 😅 Cool to see racquets for people (like me) who don’t play professionally/often 😊

[@gladiatorstribe]

It really was 🤯

@@korint327 please read before you comment

[@cortezbrown6838]

Great review, especially in those Horrendous conditions lmao. Both of you will definitely like hitting with the Clash 100 Pro as it is heavier at 310g unstrung and can get to your 330g preferred weight with strings and lead tape.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks a lot! You're right if this was a bit heavier we'd enjoy it way more!

[@Sly_404]

That intro was fire!!!

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahahha thank you!!

[@joselitoaquino3207]

You nailed it Guys more power..

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much!!

[@AngeloLimiti5]

Which string do you think is the best to enhance control? I'm not actually used to any spin, but still playing flat. I'm a beg-intermediate player. Great review btw, as always, keep going guys!

[@s41magazine37]

Volkyl Cyclone would work really well in this. It's a spin monster string

[@comissaria]

Hi , great videos! could please review Prince Racquets more specifically the Tour and Phantom lines . Many thanks and keep doing these great videos.

[@gladiatorstribe]

We don't have them at an easy access unfortunately. If we find some Prince rackets, we'll review them for sure!

[@lukehiles184]

What string do you think I should string this racket with and at what stiffness?

[@mindaugasbogusevicius3196]

how many weight and where you would recommend to put on Clash 100v2 ? Just bought a new one and left for string job. Tnx 🙂

[@andrewbanks6318]

Would be interesting to see what you think about the clash 98 V2 310g, 16x20 - I imagine you might prefer it!

[@gladiatorstribe]

I absolutely think so too! Would love to review it!

[@giannissterg7824]

I’m considering clash 100 vs head speed mp or blade 100. I play tennis the last year 4-5 times per week. What do u suggest. I can demo only the 2 Wilson’s here in Greece

[@bojack3827]

I would love to see you guys hit with that guy from the Tennis Brothers channel! A KZbin collaboration is the order of the day! :-)

[@gladiatorstribe]

That could be a cool collab!!

[@Rigo_S]

Great review! How's that Auxetic Speed Pro vs. Auxetic Prestige MP comparison video coming along? ;) ;) ;)

[@gladiatorstribe]

Haven't reviewed them separately yet 😬 Will hopefully do soon though 🥴

[@xltempest5778]

If I use the yonex vcore 98, but am looking for more mass/stability what racket would be a good option that still has good spin potential?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Have you though of adding weight? That's could really improve the feeling. In stock form you're always going to compromise a bit on the stability if you want spin. Rackets like the Speed MP and Boom Mp for example fall in the same category as the Vcore but the weight is still low. Therefore the stability is also not the greatest. A more stable Ezone 98 is a good racket but the spin is compromised.

[@KatySei]

How is it compared to Wilson Clash 100? Is it better? comfort and playability is it better.( for a beginner).

[@johnnacke893]

Do you think the Clash 100 V2 would be a good choice for a 74 year old 3.5-4.0 player? String suggestion?

[@gladiatorstribe]

It definitely would. It is a very soft and comfortable frame. I would go for some kind of multifilament to get the most comfort possible.

[@henrydo8935]

Great video. Can you please review the Head 360+ Radical Pro

[@gladiatorstribe]

We don't have that racket available to us for now 😬

[@zrx7108]

How different would you guys compare it to the old clash 100?

[@gladiatorstribe]

They're very very similar. Though to me it seemed like the new one is a bit more spinny.

[@matthewkwok5281]

Banger

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you!!!

[@mejartomlinson7065]

do you think this racket has similar feel to Head Boom MP?

[@gladiatorstribe]

It's similar though the Clash is even softer.

[@applesforakbar]

Have any racquets you guys have tested almost made you switch?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Yep, the Yonex Ezone 98 for me and the Yonex Vcore 100 for Areg.

[@lecter555]

Hi Guys! Greetings from Buenos Aires , Argentina... Is it True that the tension of this racket must be in 48 pounds? """" TO ACTIVATE Its TECNOLOGY? :) "" Some People love the clash and others not... I have to play with it, and see if it is so wonderfull, or Its only Marketing, I am Curious!.. The Channel is Great !!! !!!

[@gladiatorstribe]

I would say it's a marketing thing. Tension is quite personal. Even though there are recommend tensions it all comes down to the person using it.

[@arxyman777]

We all know "Sexiness" is the most important characteristic and that's why is always on top of the list 👌🏽😂

[@julianchiu8893]

Every video .... EVERY video ... Grish compares everything to Yonex. Grisha talks about Yonex racquets like they talk about Hattori Hanzo swords in Kill Bill. (We need another new Yonex racquet so that you guys can do a Beatrix Kiddo vs. O Ren Ishii homage)

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahaha omg, not doing it on purpose, I swear 😂😂

[@justbookcroatia2835]

Hello guys, please help. I'm intermediate player, trying to play better, but don't play often, once a week mostly, sometimes 2 times a week. I played 6,7 matches with CLASH 100 (295 grams) , liked the racquet, all good, playing nicely, but in my head wanting more weight, because i thought my hits will be stronger with heavier racquet. I started to think of myself as i can do better and changed my racquet to VCORE 100 (300 grams), I'm strong guy, trained tennis from age 13 till age 15. Now, I'm 30 years old. After 3 matches where i played strongly with VCORE i started to get pain in my arm, wrist and elbow, like a sourness and stress on my arm. I want to stick with VCORE as i think it's better racquet for good tennis players, I'm not sure is that smart for me. Maybe I'm not that good with technique as i think i am. Maybe longe term VCORE won't suit me. Because i changed a few racquets before all of this, now i don't know should i stick to the VCORE and wait to see how it will be in a few months, or i should get back to the CLASH. If you can maybe help me decide what would you do in my place. THANKS !!!

[@NaoBeto]

Why Luxilon Adrenaline and not Luxilon Savage or Alu Power? I'd like to know before investing my money on any of these strings

[@gladiatorstribe]

Well, Adrenaline is more economic therefore more convenient for our use.

[@Gramooneer]

when will we see you on atp tour?)

[@gladiatorstribe]

Soon 😂😂

[@cyberjonesy]

Hey guys I've got a challenge for you. Find the cheapest supermarket racket you can buy. One player plays with his racket of choice, the other with the cheap racket. Play a tiebreaker. If the player with the cheap racket wins, there is a consequence (Please no egg yolks on the tennis courts XD ). Alternate. Should be fun to watch ! ;)

[@gladiatorstribe]

That's an interesting one. Pretty sure it's gonna be a similar situation as with the old-school rackets. Might do it though, thanks for the idea! No eggs, got you 😂😂

[@CR4WLFC]

So grisha which do you prefer speed mp or clash 100 👀

[@gladiatorstribe]

That's a hard one. I'd probably go for the Speed MP. Though after trying the Clash with lead this might change a lot.

[@CR4WLFC]

Guys you need a different format for your reviews

[@gladiatorstribe]

Suggestions?

[@Official.tadiwa]

@Gladiators Tennis i dont know yet but maybe try making your reviews more systematic to captivate the audience straight away. You could, instead of the intros that you do switch it up make it more of a formal presentation. - Stats of frame - Game play - thoughts, rating. - and the shits and gigs. Similar to Tennis Warehouse notice how their videos arent too long they get straight to the point?
