Wilson Clash 100 V3 Unstrung Tennis Racquet

The Wilson Clash 100 V3 (released in early 2025) builds on the "revolutionary" flexible feel of the previous versions, aiming to recapture the ultra-plush sensation of the original V1 while adding modern stability and power.

The V3 is designed as the ultimate "all-rounder" for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize arm health and comfort but don't want to sacrifice performance.

New Technologies & Refinements

1. Hit Stabilizer: This is one of the primary updates for V3. Wilson added a layer of carbon to improve the racquet's inertia and stability specifically at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. This reduces twisting on off-center hits without making the racquet feel stiff.
2. FORTYFIVE° Evolution: Carrying over from V2, this patented layup allows the frame to bend with the vertical swing path, providing the signature Clash "pocketing" effect where the ball feels like it sits on the strings longer.
3. SI3D: A revised carbon mapping technology that optimizes three-dimensional frame bending. It allows for a more "connected-to-the-ball" feel and helps the racquet flex in a way that generates more power and spin during modern, vertical swings.
4. Click-and-Go System: A new grommet and bumper design that makes it easier and faster to replace parts, while maintaining the use of Agiplast sustainable, plant-based materials.

On-Court Performance

1. The "Magic" Flex: The V3 returns to a slightly softer, more "plush" feel compared to the V2. It is exceptionally arm-friendly and absorbs vibrations better than almost any other performance racquet in its weight class.
2. Power & Depth: Because of the frame's flexibility, it offers easy depth. However, players with very long, fast swings may find it occasionally "launches" the ball if their technique isn't precise—though the V3's increased stability helps mitigate this compared to the V1.
3. Maneuverability: At 295g unstrung and a 10-point head-light balance, it is incredibly easy to swing. This makes it excellent for defensive play, scramble shots, and quick reactions at the net.

Who is it for?

The Wilson Clash 100 V3 is ideal for intermediate players looking for a forgiving, versatile frame. It is particularly recommended for anyone suffering from tennis elbow or shoulder issues, as its low stiffness rating provides maximum shock absorption.
