Wilson Clash 100 & Wilson Clash Tour tennis racquets review 

Thanks but Simon from Top Tennis Training plays very well.

Simon and Alex both have played ATP, Alex a lot more though...

DJ DJ I knew Alex was top 300 I didn’t know Simon had played any pro tennis.

I agree! All these other You Tube reviewers have really bad forms. You have to take in what they say with a grain of salt.

Somehow, it's right. For many players, I'd advise to focus on training more than on the gear.

@@TeamTennisfr Now I'm curious how you'd play with an old dumpy racket from the local bargain bins.

@@LetsBuildThatApp Put some stiff poly strung real tight up in one, no dampener, and he'll never play again!

Keep me informed about your feelings !

Hey ! Great if you like. Ireland is beautiful, green grass everywhere :) And beer also :)

Thank you ! I'll try to continue but I lack time and videos in english take more time than. In case you have my french channel where I make much more reviews, but it's in french.. ru-vid.com/show-UCqGAOHUzLzn65bJIPid-m6A?view_as=subscriber

Thank you !

Thank you !

Thank you for your comment :)

Thank you !

Thank you !!

Thank you, nice comment :) I could also have said that the more you put power, the more it seems the frame bends and provides control.

Thank you for your comment !

Thank you !

Excellent review indeed, and wonderful bilingual talent. I can barely manage English and it’s my first language!! 😆

Thank you !

Thanks ! I'll continue as long as my body allows me to do so.. Which is a bit uncertain :)

Hehe, thank you ! It's true I really have good feelings on the backhand side, slice or top spin. It's my best shot.

Thank you for your nice comment 👍

Working on it :)

Hehe :) The things you like less than tennis help you enjoy tennis even more when you're able to play.

Ho. What string do you use? Revolve spin could be ok?

Thank you ! I currenly work on my forehand. I try a bigger swing to be more relaxed.

Thank you !

Super, content de voir que mes conseils ont pu l'aider, bonne continuation à vous.

How is the power

Nd which one do you have clash 100 or tour version

@@shouryakuriyal9810 clash 100

I’m confused bw head graphene 360 plus speed mp

@@shouryakuriyal9810 the best way to decide is to try out bouth and see wich one its suits better for you. I've played whith bouth and clash is more confortable and forgiven whitouth loosing control(for me!) I hope i have helped.best Regards

Ok thank you. I guess you have much more comfort than with the RF autograph.

merci !

Not easy but I'll try to stick to the habit.

@@team-tennisenglish1514 You did perfectly great!

Thank you !

I have tested. I thought I would feel the heavy weight more, even if of course it's heavy. Decent power if you can swing the racquet, not very forgiving. Few players can master that weight on the long run.

Thanks. I definitely lack time for the english channel. I could try to make videos faster, even if I lose some quality in my explanations compared to the french channel. I'll see.

Hi. I don't know where that sound comes from. I don't think it's because it's head light. It would interesting if you have the opportunity to try another Clash to see if you have the same feeling.

Great. I'll review the new Head Gravity if possible.

@@TeamTennisfr I really love the comparison part which brings me into your feeling of the racquet.

Thank you ! Where are you from ?

@@TeamTennisfr Philadelphia.

@@jacksonlar Ok thank you.

Nice, give it a try if you can.

bradda kimo are from Hawaii?

@@nemo6808 , Aloha!

bradda kimo i grew up in Ewa Beach. Learned to play tennis in Ewa Beach public courts

@@nemo6808 I grew up in Oahu (Maile, Waipahu..) Where do you live now? Plenty local people had to move away because of the cost of living. I live in Kona now, still high but we get by...

Hey ! I was rather far from being pro. Poor serve but the worse might be the mental side. I don't care enough about winning, which is a problem to go far :)

When I was 28 yes :) Now I don't play matches anymore. Too many injuries.

Great, how do you feel with the Clash ?

Have not played with it yet.. but I’m hitting with it today so I’m very excited

@@nemo6808 Ok. Hope you have fun. Let me know.

Just got back from playing a doubles with the clash and I’m happy to say that I love this racquet!!! I was worried about the clash 100 295 having too much power but the extra spin more than compensated for that. Really easy on the arm and my lefty kick serve and slice have a lot more bite and movement. Thank you so much for the review and you have a new subscriber.

I hit with my friend who hits a really heavy ball. I was a little worried since my left wrist is hurt when I fell this past Thursday but thanks to this racket and it’s low RA my wrist fella fine.

Thanks, for me strings depends on the player, not on the racquet. I used Luxilon Element, Yonex Rexis, Tecnifibre NGR2 tension 24 Kg and everything was fine for me.

For me it's Wilson Clash 100, I also like the Yonex VCore 100. You can try the Clash tour is the weight is ok for you, version 100 or 98 for more control. The Speed MP is versatile also. You can try the Yonex, it's nice also.

Thank you :)

I don't know because there are already so many videos on this topic. If I do one, it'll be to make something with a different approach of what exists. Less technical. I'll think about it.

Thanks a lot. Not sure the Clash is great for almost everyone. The feeling remains special due to the low stiffness and some won't like that. And the power must fit the player's needs also. But it's true it's a bit surprising we don't see the racquet at all at pro level.

Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes I think the power is almost the same. In fact it's a bit hard to list the differences. The feeling is different because of the frame constitution but hard to describe. More flexibility with the Clash even if didn't feel the frame bending during the shots. Beam width bigger with the Clash, it can bother some players. I wonder if I don't feel a better stability with the Clash, like if there's a more solid racket head. Personnaly I try to switch to the Clash because of its flexibility and at the same time correct amount of power. If I had to, I think I could also play with the Speed MP. I think the best for you is to try them. Keep me informed, and thanks a lot if you use my link.

@@TeamTennisfr thank you so much for your report, I saw you reviewed the Head Graphene 360 Extreme MP but only in france. could you explain abit of your opinions to me. do you found it good for the arm? in term of power and spin would be between the Clash 100 and the Pure Aero 2019? Cheers!

@@svensanchez3177 The Speed MP has an average power, a bit like the Clash, comfortable, good access to top spin. For the pure aero, power close to the Clash also, considering the pure aero 2019. Maybe less power for the clash. But the feeling is different. Spin access easier for forehand semi western grips with the pure aero and its aero profile.

He likes 300 gram max raquet

One of my best shot :)

How about an online lesson with some tips? 😉

@@Tennisbull-match-statistics Maybe. There are so many online lessons about that already. Don't know if I'll add something.

I think you're the best to know what's best for you. If you feel fine with the Blade, go with it. It can provide more power because it's heavier and indeed it's a control oriented racquet that restrict mistakes sending the ball too far. The Pure Aero will be more powerful than the Clash also I'd say. The latest version is not very powerful, it'll depend on the strings/tension you use. You can have a setup that will make it less powerful than the clash.

thanks, for the demo, I use Luxilon Element 24 Kg.

For me the main difference is the weight. You can have more power with the tour if you're able to swing it, if not it can be the opposite. It depends more on the player than on the racket itself. I clearly prefered the 100 because the Tour was too heavy for me, I had a better manoeuvrability, better speed for my swings. It depends on the player, the best thing is to try both rackets and compare them.

I don't have the answer to that question. You could try to ask at Tennis Warehouse Europe.

Which one did you decide on?

@@Tennisbull-match-statistics I actually ended up going with the Clash Tour. I added a leather grip and its perfect!

Yes I liked that one :)

Thank you ! I would not say better because it always depend on the feelings of the player. Personnaly I prefer because I ave more power and a better access to top spin, better maneuverability also. But some players don't like the Clash, the best is to try it.

Haven't tried the 98. It'll be less powerful, less access to top spin, a bit more maneuverability. The Clash Tour is not more flexible, just heavier.

Thank you for your comment. I know the Prince well, it's my current racquet. The Clash is mainly more powerful and has a better access to top spin. I find both very comfortable. I found the Clash Tour more difficult to maneuver than the Prince, despite the weight was exactly the same for my racquets because I added some weight to my Prince. The Clash 295 is easy to maneuver, that's the one I'm gonna try to switch to.

Thanks for the video! Do I understand correctly that the Clash Tour feels heavier than the TT100P (even though it supposedly has a lesser swing weight and is more head-light)? I ask because it felt oddly heavy to me as well. May I also ask how you had your TT100P weighted up?

@@vanodne Yes I don't know why but I felf my 100P was lighter, easier to swing than the Clash Tour. They had exactly the same weight but I have 2 overgrips on the 100P, it lowers the balance point.

I'd say : pro staff much less forgiving than the clash. Clash does not provide the muted feeling of the CV. It's comfortable because of its low stiffness. Better access to top spin with Clash. I'd say more power with the clash.

For me it was fine. I guess it depends on the player.

Honestly my serve is a s*** 😀

Hey, I'll try to publish more in engligh, maybe on the mental skills, I have a lot to say. For the racquet, I find the VCore 100 comfortable, well balanced. Tennis elbow often comes from a lack of muscular looseness. If you work your technique, it might comes from that. The clash 100 is more flexible, you could lack a bit of power, you should try. I would not recommand the Phantom that could be a bit hard to play. I don"t like courses that focus too much on wrist snap because players try to do it too much on purpose. It should naturally come from looseness and finally if you think too much about it you'll lack looseness. You can also have a look at ProKennex racquets. Look for an evenly balanced tennis racquets but your VCore is not so bad. Keep me informed.

@@TeamTennisfr Thank you, I'm grateful for your reply. You're spot on with the wrist snap. My new coach forces me to snap the wrist on forehands, backhands, slices and serves. My earlier coaches never said much about that...so I find it difficult. On youtube, most videos suggest a fixed/locked wrist for groundstrokes, so I'm quite confused...It may not be the racket after all. I will try the Clash if I have the chance.

@@deneszoltan2160 In my opinion you must not focus directly on the wrist snap. You must be relaxed, no tight grip and the wrist snap will occur by itself. The risk is to force yourself to do something that must not be forced. In addition, the wrist snap "intensity" depends on the speed of your swing, not always the same. It's something that has to be unconscious.

I have struggled with tennis elbow for many years. I have 2 racquets in my tennis bag, the Clash 100 with natural gut and prince 93p. So far so good with no signs of tennis elbow with either racquet. I also will be getting coaching soon to change also my technique to reduce the risk of tennis elbow. This gentleman’s review really helped me make the decision to demo both racquets (merci beaucoup Jean-Pierre) Let’s see how things go..

@@MrFaabulous Good to hear that you recovered. I'm surprised that you can play with two such different rackets in weight and size. Yesterday, I tried a Prince Tour 95 and it was unusually small and heavy for me as I usually play 98/100 and around 300g. Anyway, many people seem to find the Clash totally unpredictable. Some shots are unexpectedly good and some are bad. Someone told me that the racket has a mind on its own. What is your experience?

Thanks. No weight added. Luxilon Elelemenf for the string, 24 Kg. All that stuff is personal, everyone should try to find what's the best for him.

Team-Tennis [English] Thank You for fast replay. Yes i know that it’s personal. I just felt it bit unstable some times but it was expected as my previous racket was Blade CV 18x20. I also started with 3-4g 3/9 but this made the racket vibrate more. Regular Clash is good racket with nice feel and good power/spin. Waiting your review of 7 Blades. BR

@@Vibalik1 Yes it depends because I don't feel it unstable. You're used to a racket with 10 more grams, that's something you can feel, and in addition the Blade is a bit head heavy, it increases stability. It was a good idea to add some weight at the height of the contact zone. Maybe you should have tried the tour version 310g.

Hi, I've played also with some multis, I liked also.. Currently I don't play because I had shoulder surgery.I'll play again in 6 months maybe.

@@TeamTennisfr ok great but considering the string options you have used so far, what would be your best recommendation of string + tension for the Clash 100? Thank you for your quick response. 👍💪🎾

For the clash I don't find there's especially a big space between main strings. With the Luxilon Element I think I'll have to cut it before it breaks. At least 20 hours or more before doing so. But I don't put a lot of top spin.

Luxilon Element 24 Kg. I like a lot.

Yes. Anyway 24 or 24/23 won't alter feelings. Tension is a personal preference but you can use that as a starting point.

@@team-tennisenglish1514 thanks for the quick response. Hope your shoulder has recovered well after the operation

@@JH-iw5tg Thank you. Recovery a bit slow but I'll be patient :)

It could but on my forehand I need a large head size. It would surely fit my backhand well, not my forehand and even worse on my serve 🙂

Hi. Well, I don't play since my operation in november. When I start again I'll keep this racquet and I'll also try more powerful.

Yes it's a racquet you should consider. I have a serious shoulder injury and if I don't put too much intensity I can play with this racquet, excepting serving. It's my current racquet.

Thanks a lot for your response. Could you tell me a couple more options? I would like to have a few options to choice. Some people told me that some Yonex are friendly arm rackets. Maybe the Yonex vcore pro 100?

@@ropehui Yes, why not VCore 100, EZone 100, even Head Speed MP 360.

When you string at 24 with mono it's never 24 because it loses tension very fast even when you don't play. And anyway I always try different tensions and listen to my feelings instead of the specs that are just indications.

Clash 100 is more powerful and comfortable. A bit more stable maybe. Those are the main differences for me. Gravity for players looking for more control. Access to top spin rather close.

@@TeamTennisfr Thanks for your reply, my main concern with the Gravity MP is stability on the return of serve. I find it to be very unstable, but I like the thinner beam as compared to the Clash. What's your take on the stability of the two rackets?

@@TeamTennisfr Another question, what raquet are you currently using, still the wilson blade 100?
