Should you shortlist it?
Consider the lighter Clash when handling matters more than the mass of the standard 100.
The trade-off
Lower weight may require more effort to hold the racket steady against fast returns.
What to compare in a demo
Try returns, serves and volleys as well as rallies. Check your swing late in a session. Use similar strings and tension when comparing frames.
Alternatives to consider
- Wilson Clash 100 · v3 — a similar choice; 295 g and 100 sq in. A flexible-feeling option with familiar head size.
- Yonex EZONE 100L · 8th generation — a contrasting response; 285 g and 100 sq in. A lighter route into the EZONE range.
