Wilson puts its revolutionary frame technology into a larger, more forgiving head size
Introducing the Clash 108 v2! With this racquet, Wilson puts its uniquely flexible formula into a larger, more forgiving head size. This racquet also sports a slightly extended length (27.25") giving it extra pop on groundies and serves. At 10.4 ounces strung, the Clash 108 v2 is ideal for the intermediate player or savvy doubles specialist who wants a speedy racquet that serves big and feels stable on volleys. The Clash 108 should also work for the the dedicated beginner who wants a racquet that will reward improvement. This racquet's outstanding feel is achieved partly through a technology called FORTYFIVE an innovative frame technology that not only enables the racquet to bend optimally across different strokes styles, but also softens impact without compromising the crisp and connected feel that is so crucial to control. Ultimately, the Clash 108 v2 is a great option for the player who wants an oversize racquet with outstanding feel. The fact that it has a higher level of control than many of its competitors is a nice bonus.

This racquet is okay.I bought this hoping for a well-balanced, arm- friendly, medium power, oversize frame. I am a college coach and older 4.5W. Doubles and hitting are what I do now.
Pros- it is arm friendly. This is the first frame I have used without a dampener to be able to feel my contact/ spin. I am happy with that aspect.
Good and quick at net.
Easy to feed balls with.
Cons- I had to weight it a bit on the head to have enough balance/mass to swing through on serve and groundies. It feels very head light in my opinion. The head lags. More than I expected from the specs.
I'm using it. It's not bad but I don't love it.
Wilson Clash V 2 worked for me.My old Prince EXO3 racquet finally broke. I had been using this racquet for years and I definitely miss it. I rented 6 racquets from Tennis Warehouse, Wilson Blade, Clash, various Prince racquets, etc. Out of all of them, the Clash felt the most comfortable right away with less vibration up the arm, good ground strokes and quick volleying. It allows me to make very powerful hits with 55 pounds of pressure on the strings. It's amazing that I am so comfortable with it after only using it a couple of times. I would definitely recommend the Clash, which is now on version 3.
Great choiceHad the best experience choosing a racquet with the TW team. Don’t hesitate to ask for their opinion.
Personal ReviewThe racquet feel lighter in hand, but the grip is a bit too thick for me (I stand 6 feet but my hand is still not large enough to grip it fully). Other than that the swing of the racquet and the overall quality of this racquet is good.
The Clash is a blastThe head is slightly lighter than my previous Wilson Pro Staff racquet, feels lighter and easier to swing. The red and black color combo is sexy & the discount pricing encouraged me to buy two. Thanks Tennis Warehouse and the delightful rep, who listened to my concerns for a new racquet, and by process of elimination, we decided the Wilson Clash was a good choice. She was right and have greater enjoyment playing with this one.
Great new racquetJust purchased a first Clash V2 last month and I have already purchased another. Love the lightness, the control, and power!

Clash 108 V2This is my second Wilson Clash. It is a very stable racquet and easy on the arm with excellent control. Light enough to be quick for volleys.

Love my Wilson 108 ClashI've had some issues with my elbow, so I got this, played twice and I love it. Went with multifilament Wilson NXT strings and this racquet is great. Good power on serves and forehands. I really like it.
Great!I demoed over 12 racquets and this was the clear winner. I normally play with a 98 inch head, and demoed the Clash Pro as well. This is by far the best playing racquet in the Clash family in my opinion. I am a 4.5 level player and never thought I would like an oversized head until I tried this racquet. Do yourself a favor and demo this racquet. Great job Wilson!
Terrific for its oversize purposeI added this to a demo order only because I didn't have a third racquet in mind but wow, to my surprise, this is a "real" racquet. It's not a trampoline, like some of the other Clash models and many oversized racquets. You can get controllable power because if you use an ATP-style forehand, the racquet responds with excellent levels of spin to bring the ball down inside the court. The benefits of a 108 size are certainly there- huge sweetspot, easy power- and it's very plush/arm friendly, but it's also stable and most of the vices of a 108 are absent. You won't have the directional control of a 98 sq in racquet, of course, and a big server will push you around on your returns, but this is by no means a toy. You can play a 4.5 match with this racquet and win it. Agassi won half his titles with a racket like this, makes you think. If you like oversized racquets, try this (but also try the excellent Head Gravity S at 104", which is less easy but has more control).
