Wilson introduced the revolutionary Clash in early 2019. This collection, the first to be designed for the modern tennis swing by flexing, without compromising stability or power, has quickly become a favorite on courts around the world. This line answered a central need from players globally — complete confidence to swing powerfully while offering unparalleled control over shots. It’s a highly playable line that represents the intersection of flexibility, stability, power, control, and feel (hence the name Clash).
Two central technologies come together in Clash rackets. The first is the brand’s patent-pending FreeFlexTM technology, which is a carbon mapping system that unifies carbon at unconventional angles throughout the rackets’ frame for a higher degree of flexibility both vertically and horizontally.
This system allows the rackets to bend with any swing style to better pocket a tennis ball and control the release of the ball as a player follows through with their swing. StableSmartTM, a new frame geometry that provides stability and power to these flexible frames, complements FreeFlex technology. The combined effect of FreeFlex and StableSmart? Control over the directional accuracy and depth of a shot, which results in more confidence for the player throughout every swing.
Clash rackets are ideal for a broad range of players, and three new models – Clash 98 ($249.00 / 280€), Clash 100L ($229.00 / 230€) ) and Clash 108 ($229.00 / 230€) – allow more players to choose the right one for their style of play:
• Coming in at only 9.9 oz (280 g unstrung), the Clash 100L is the most lightweight frame in the line. This racket is ideal for a transitioning junior and any player who prefers a lighter racket.
• The 98-inch Clash offers the peak of confidence and control. The smaller headsize delivers best-in-class precision for any player who consistently hits the sweet spot, while the head-light balance reduces swing weight and adds control through a swing.
• With the most generous sweet spot in the line, the Clash 108 gives plenty of forgiveness at a comfortable swing weight. Also, lightweight (9.9 oz / 280 g; unstrung), this larger headsize supersizes the sweet spot for off-center hits.
The Clash 98, 100L, and 108 are available for pre-sale via tennis specialty retailers (in-store and online) and on www.wilson.com starting June 8. The rackets will be available for purchase in-store and online worldwide June 15.
