Wilson brings extra comfort to the explosive mechanics of the modern game
Introducing the Clash 100 Pro v2! Like the previous generation, the 100 Pro v2 is a uniquely arm-friendly modern player's racquet. It also swings heavier than the standard Clash 100, making it better at redirecting higher levels of pace or driving the ball through the court. That said, aggressive all-court players will find more than enough speed for whipping up spin or reacting quickly at net. For 2022 Wilson updates the string pattern to a 16x20 (for a slightly truer trajectory). They've also reinforced the upper hoop to raise the sweetspot and create a more solid and responsive hitting surface. In hopes of creating a truer exit trajectory, Wilson has also updated the string pattern from 16x19 to 16x20. As with the first generation of Clash racquets, this stick is defined by Wilson's innovative frame technology (originally called FreeFlex). Renamed FORTYFIVE for 2022, this patented frame technology enables the racquet to bend (and soften impact) across a wider geometry of stoke paths. The payoff is greater comfort when addressing the ball at more extreme angles (think topspin). Although some players may find the feedback too muted, the Clash 100 Pro v2 will find plenty of support amongst those who want a softer hitting experience.

RacquetRacquet is a bit stiff and unforgiving, but solid well directed and powerful
Can’t tell differenceI went from the Clash 100 v2 to the Clash Pro. Candidly, I couldn’t tell the difference. Both solid performances.
Shame this racquet is being softened up in V3I take this racquet with confidence into 4.0 matches. With a flatter launch and descent angle this racquet requires 3-4 more pounds tension than regular Clash. At 54 pounds hard to miss and has great directional control and put away power. The 16x20 pattern is a winner as with the Wilson Shift. I like the lowering of weight to 305 grams in the V3 but not the increase in flex. Buy this on sale before gone. Amazing power stability and accuracy on ground strokes. Power on serves and returns
Great experience and productI was so happy with my recent purchase! The product arrived in perfect condition and so quick!

GoodDefinitely a good racquet. Powerful yet controllable. I’m a 4.0, and tested this alongside the Clash 98 v2. Both frames were strung with Solinco Outlast 1.15. Ultimately, I decided the 98 was a better fit for my game as I can swing it through the air just a bit faster and feels more solid on my backhand wing. The 100 Pro is definitely a solid option and does a bit of everything.

Great comfort but..My main racquet is the Babolat Pure Strike. The Pure Strike is too stiff. The Clash's power and control are not comparable to the Pure Strike. If you're a baseline player, 4.5 or higher playing in a tournament, this can be challenging because of the lack of power. I don't think that you'd see people using this racquet playing competitively. This is good if you want to prolong your tennis arm.

Power and ControlI have had the racquet over a month now and very happy with it. I am a 4.5 player and like the increased power and control from my previous Prince racquet.

Excellent frameI think this racquet played well in the hand of a 5.5. Very consistent at serve. Great groundstrokes, certainly is a super racquet. I had been playing with the Babolat Pure Drive 2015 for a long time. I am happy with this one.
This racquet changed everything for meI've always loved stiffer racquets and poly strings. About 5 years ago, I started getting some tennis elbow and wrist pain. I started researching arm friendly rackets and landed on the Prince Phantom. That was an amazing stick. So soft and plush and still allowed me to use poly strings. I loved how underpowered it was/is because it allowed me to take full cuts without hitting the ball out, generating a ton of spin in the process. But just for fun, I tried a friends stiffer racquet a few months ago and I had no idea how much I missed the extra power, especially on serves. But it hurt my wrist almost instantly. Then I heard about the Clash, how it's just as arm friendly but more powerful than the Phantom, and I gave it a shot. So far I LOVE it. Still using soft poly, no arm/wrist pain, but improved power without losing much (if any) control. This racquet is the best of both worlds for those of us battling joint/ligament or tennis elbow problems, but still want to use polyester strings and generate a little free power.
Just heavier version of regular clashThe other reviews are correct in saying that this is basically just a heavier version of the regular clash. It does provide a lot of stability which is exactly what I am looking for in a heavy racquet. However, it doesn't give you more control than the regular clash. Still very arm friendly which is good. Not sure why they made this 16X20 while the regular is 16X19.
