Wilson Tennis Racquets - Which racquet should you play with?

[@kenharris7194]

I am playing with the Blade v7 98 16 x 19 and the feel is really outstanding. There is a nice balance of power and control. I tried the Clash 98 which is also a good racquet but not as solid as the Blade and didn't offer enough stability and had a funky feel with balls hit off center.

[@BullyGarfield.]

i got the blade v6 no cv and i really like it so far. it’s crisp but soft

[@weyman4317]

Well done- says a lot that Wilson don’t explain this- you should get a job or commission from them.

[@Tennisnerd]

Great Wilson video Jonas! Welcome to the Clash 98 club. I know you weren't as enamoured with it when you reviewed first time around, but sounds like you're liking it now. I love my Clash 98 and agree that it totally works well with a one handed backhand. Great for the touch shots at net too.

[@kenharris7194]

What string and tension set up are you using with your Clash 98? Did you add any weight? If so, where and how much. I played with the Clash 98 for a month and definitely feel that this racquet is string and tension sensitive. I don't use poly any more due to arm issues. I have been using the Blade v7 98 16 x 19 as my main racquet but just bought a brand new Clash 98 due to the 30 day guarantee. I strung up with Wilson Sensation at 53lbs and plan to add a little weight to improve the stability. What impressed me the most with Clash 98 as it's very easy to use and I didn't get nearly as tired for long playing sessions. I will experiment with some other synthetic string setups.

[@Jomster13]

@@kenharris7194 I was using a full bed of Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power Rough @48lbs. I'm going to get it restrung with Hyper G @ 48lbs hopefully soon. I haven't ever used lead tape before. My other stick is an RF autograph but I gave up on it as my daily driver when I finally snapped out of my delusions of grandeur. 😅

[@thomasannand13]

nice timing! i finally playtested the blade, pro staff and clash 100 today. Decided to go with the clash 100, loved the bigger sweetspot, low stiffness and light head. Felt great on every shot really :)

[@thomasannand13]

like you said, i took the Tour version

[@vaibhavbhushan4257]

Thank You for doing Wilson review as well that too soo quickly.

[@yOnKiNaToR]

Best Wilsons right now are the PS97 v13 and Blade v7 16x19. Mind you they are great only if you order them close to original spec. Quality control problems can really ruin the play and perception of Wilson racquets. It's worth the extra $10-20 from tennis Warehouse to order the spec you want

[@suatkayatennis]

Tack Jonas för en fantastisk video 👍,själv så jag spelar med Wilson Clash 100 och jag är verkligen supernöjd med den racketen.

[@Tennisnerd]

Tack! Bra val 👍🏻

[@LiamApilado]

Ive been playing with the blade v6 non CV for a while now and starting to realise it's not an easy racket to play with. Especially after getting a shoulder injury, it doesn't feel very maneuverable

[@mattiastennis]

Wilson Blade would be the only one I would ever consider. Looking forward to any future videos you do on Dunlop frames including CX200+

[@thepatternforms859]

I love your content Jonas, but i miss a review of the Blade 18x20. Cheers

[@Tennisnerd]

Ah, forgot that one 👍🏻

[@BullyGarfield.]

@@Tennisnerd please do that one

[@ajcph]

I used to like the Clash 100 tour too, I didn’t like the 98 when I tried it out first, but after a few more tries and changing to the solinco hyper g soft, it became my favourite racket now

[@ajcph]

@@cold_servo_pie nope but I just like the feel of the soft poly. I sometimes use multifilaments too

[@EdmonBegoli]

I completely agree on Clash 98. It grew on me too to the point that I play with it now instead of my Blade v7 16x19 which I loved as well. In additional to being an arm saver is actually a great frame for control, power and spin. Very, very good all around racquet. I hope you re-review it and post a new video. (AC Tennis, btw, has a nice comparative review of ProStaff v13, Blade v7 16x19, and Clash 98)

[@ivanpalaca6230]

How old are you? And what is the level of your game?

[@kenharris7194]

What string setup and tension are you using on the Clash 98? Did you add any weight? I also have been using the Blade v7 98 16 x 19 as my main racquet but just bought a brand new Clash 98 due to 30 day guarantee. I don't use poly anymore due to arm issues and tried Sensation 16 at 53lbs. I will also add some weight to improve the stability.

[@EdmonBegoli]

@@kenharris7194 I did not add any weight, yet. I might over time. Playing with nat. gut that came with one I bought used and Hyper G (switching that now to Velocity MLT). Enjoying Clash 98 out of the box. Headlight balance is very nice, making the experience whippy, easy to play. I find Clash 98 very easy on my shoulder, whereas Blade was giving me a few problems (framed serves and ground stokes would send a shock to both elbow and shoulder, whereas Clash 98 is very comfortable. Its angled frame dissipates shock). I also found that the swing-weight between Blade and Clash 98 is not very different (a few grams), so have not modified the weight yet.

[@kenharris7194]

@@EdmonBegoli thanks for your feedback.

[@5ammy13]

Can you please review Artengo rackets. I know that there's an article on your website, but it would be great to do a video, especially considering how cheap they are. If what I have heard is true, the artengo rackets are half as cheap as the Babolat Pure Aeros but perform the same or even better. It would be great if you could do a video for that. It'll save a lot of people money if the stories are to be believed.

[@wpknorr]

In the end the Clash 100L is the best of them all. The mix of control, power, feel & spin is outstanding!

[@Justin-hd2vz]

newbie question: why would you want the light version?

[@imlazy77]

I’ve been playing with the Ultra 100 CV v2 for about a year now. Really loving it. Might have to go for the rerelease of the v2 without the countervail, just gonna use dampeners to help with it, rather than upgrading to the v3

What string & tension you recommend on wilson clash 100?

[@fouratwadi5902]

Hello, for the blade line you forgot to talk about the 98s which is a very good racquet for intermediate and advanced level players, the same is only existing in Europe. Thanks.

[@jackhorror4056]

Miss thin beams and small heads so much :/

[@5ammy13]

That's what she said...

[@uncleremus64]

Try the Dunlop CX200 tour.

[@brandonle123]

Hi! Can you explain the difference between the “feel orientated” blade rackets vs the “precision orientated” pro staff? Isn’t feel and precision and control the all connected and similar? What makes the blade and pro staff different from each other besides balance? Thank you! I do have a 2015 18x20 blade and a v13 pro staff and they do feel very different but I tend to feel like the blade is easier on arm than pro staff but the pro staff seems to be better for spin and serves

[@jiboo6850]

i know it's old comment but , control is a byproduct of feel and precision. feel is for ball contact, feeling where the ball hits the strings and the spin load in the ball. precision is the "spray". if you can aim at the same spot in your shots, at least 6/7 times out of 10, then you have a good precision. therefore the addition of the 2 give you the control notation. cheers

[@allios-5977]

Hey I am an intermediate player who is looking for a Wilson racket to use for high school tryouts I am using a head gravity 360 mp lite

[@Channel_Yo]

Wilson racquets are great until you have to find a pair that matches your favorite one.

[@BullyGarfield.]

yes and they are bad if u cant

[@garramiro]

What do you mean by pair?

[@rpp3612]

If only Wilson would make a Blade out whatever an Ultra Tour/Ultra Pro/Blade Pro are made of then we'd all be happy.

[@tonylall7649]

Awesome nerdiness!!! Have you ever heard of the comedian Bill Burr?!

[@Tennisnerd]

One of my favorites!

[@Gsa-1981]

Hi, congratulations for the vid, really great. I learned to play using a Clash 100 2 y.a but now that I am more like a intermediate level, I am not feeling very confident with the class in terms of control (I am much more putting the ball than shooting the ball in winners). I am considering that I need a more stiff racquet, to absorve less impact and sting less. Before this vid I am considering maybe change to Blade or Pro. Does this make sense? Thanks

[@brankodupor]

Hi Jonas, I need some advice. Would you reccomend me Clash tour? I am a heavy topspin player on both wings, 40+ years, trying to have some free spin and power for my " max 2-times a week tennis"... Btw, nice RF bag on the wall, I have the same, you can put a whole apartment inside!

Hi Jonas. Maybe a Pro staff Six one 95 from pro labs review coming up?

[@timbaker9830]

[@zabaftis]

I bought a Clash 100 and its very out of specifications. It supposed to be 312gr strung but propably without any overgrip. But my racket is 312gr at the moment with 2 (two) overgrips (!!!) Defentely something is going wrong. Can i sent it bach to wilson?

@tennisnerd I am unable to decide between Ultra 100 and Burn 100s. Both are almost equally stiff. I see that the string pattern on Burn s is 18x16 and Ultra 100 has 16x19. Which one gives more control (not spin)? Thank you.

Is Clash control racket? seriously 😅 They’re just be kidding) it’s all the other way around - hat lots power and no control. If this statement was true, people would use it on tour. None on tour play with that type of uncontrollable power.

Never understood the point of a video like this. It's essentially spec reading thrown in with some personal opinion. What a waste of time.
