For 2022 Wilson keeps the revolutionary technology of the original version while also beefing up the stability in the upper regions of the string bed. Like the previous generation, the Clash 100 v2 combines explosive speed with spin-friendly targeting and enough power to close out points. Weighted for intermediate players, this 11 ounce racquet makes it easy to scramble on defense and hit groundstrokes on the run. The quick handling is also an asset at net where the Clash 100 plays great on reaction volleys. As with the first generation of Clash rackets, the 100 v2 is defined by Wilson’s innovative frame technology, originally called FreeFlex. Renamed FORTYFIVE for 2022, this patented frame technology enables the racket to bend (and soften impact) across a wider geometry of stoke paths, including the vertical mechanics of the modern game. Ultimately, with a slightly enlarged sweetspot, the Clash 100 is an obvious option for players who want a light player’s racquet with an arm-friendly feel.
