Wilson Clash 100 v3

Wilson’s flexible-feeling racket, 295 g with a familiar 100 sq in head.

Editorial verdict

Is it worth demoing?

Best for

Try it if you’re curious about a more flexible racket but don’t want to give up a 100 sq in head.

Think twice if

Flex isn’t for everyone. Check you can still place the ball on your normal shots, with strings similar to your own.

Alternatives worth demoing

Editorial shortlist based on published frame class and weight; compare on court.

Yonex

ASTREL 100 03AST100

A 280 g, 100 sq in option to compare a forgiving setup. This assessment uses published specifications, not a play-test.

No recent UK quote recorded.

Trade-off: At 280 g, check stability against pace as well as quick preparation; a lower static weight does not prove a lower swingweight.

Wilson

Clash 100 Pro V3

303 g and 100 sq in: a current Clash option to compare if you want a more flexible-feeling comparison.

No recent UK quote recorded.

Trade-off: Check that any extra depth or spin remains predictable when you accelerate. A specification advantage is not a guarantee that you will play better.

Strings and ownership

Use the manufacturer range above where it is published. Agree the material, thickness and starting tension with your stringer; there is no universal setup for this frame.

Buying used

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.

What reviewers say

These are other reviewers’ findings, not our own play tests. Their strings, tension and playing style may differ from yours.

Fun, comfortable and easy to use, with the plush Clash feel back, but light on mass for big hitters.

They liked

  • A comfortable feel as the ball meets the strings
  • Quick and spin-friendly
  • Easy depth

Watch out for

  • Lacks weight and stability against pace
  • Flat shots can sail long
  • The feel is a little muted

Suits: Club players who put comfort first.
