Wilson Clash 100L v3

The lighter Clash, 280 g before strings.

Editorial verdict

Is it worth demoing?

Best for

Consider it if you like the idea of the Clash but find the standard 100 tiring to swing.

Think twice if

Less weight can mean less steadiness against hard hitting. Compare returns with the standard Clash 100.

Wilson

Clash 100 v3

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

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

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.

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

Few reviews yet for this generation.

Reviewers have concentrated on the standard Clash 100. The 100L is lighter, so treat that summary as a guide to the family rather than to this frame. What reviewers say about the Wilson Clash 100 →
