Wilson Clash 100 Racquet $329.96

Introducing the Clash 100, a uniquely flexible racquet with explosive speed, easy spin and great feel. At 11 ounces strung and boasting a low 312-RDC swingweight, this stick is ideal for the intermediate player who wants ultra easy acceleration. What makes the Clash special is what lies under the hood. This racquet has one of the lowest and most arm-friendly flex points on the market, giving it impressive levels of pocketing, control and touch. According to Wilson, the flexible feel is achieved with the help of two innovative material technologies, FreeFlex and StableSmart, both of which help deliver the benefits of flexibility without compromising the crisp and solid feel that marks the best modern player's racquets. From the baseline, the Clash 100 offers a seductive blend of comfort and speed. Although it lacks the power and plow-through of the heavier Tour model, this racquet's easy acceleration will enable you to take very aggressive cuts at the ball when going for extra pace and spin. You'll also find it easy to scramble on defense or crank winners on the run. This racquet's impressive speed continues at net where it plays great on reaction volleys. Although it lacks the stability and mass-based pop of a traditionally weighted player's racquet, it rewards clean mechanics with good results, and there's more than enough feel for executing sharp angles or malicious droppers. Thanks to how easily this racquet explodes through contact, aggressive servers should find enough power and spin to impose their will. All in all, Wilson has created an impressive weapon for the intermediate player who wants a light player's racquet with an explosive delivery and outstanding feel.
