From an overall line perspective, Wilson also decided to consolidate the core line to four frames 100 square-inch head size and above: 100, 100 Pro, 100 L, 108. Which means the Clash 98 is no longer.
“We realized after two generations, that’s the consumer that’s best-suited to this technology,” says Schaeffer.
They also adjusted the specs on the 100 Pro to be more attractive to the Clash customer. The static weight has dropped from 310g to 305g, but the swing weight is a bit higher. The combination has made the racquet even more forgiving and user-friendly, which is what the Clash is known for.
“It’s just easy to play with in general. That’s always been a true reason to believe in the franchise,” says Schaeffer. “It’s one of the racquets we have at demo that if you mesh with it, you mesh with it really quickly. That’s why it’s been one of our most popular franchises for six years running.”
The Clash v3 racquets and new bag line will be available in stores and wilson.com starting January 15.
