Wilson
Wilson’s ranges map neatly on to the problems club players have. Ball landing short? Look at Ultra. Want a softer, more flexible feel? Clash. Want the ball to go exactly where you aimed it? Blade or Pro Staff.

Babolat keeps it simple: Pure Drive for easy pace, Pure Aero for topspin, Pure Strike for placement. Within each range, it’s the weights and head sizes that separate the models.
