Precise targeting meets plush feel
Wilson adds another chapter to the Clash 98 v2! Featuring the smallest head size in the Clash family, this stick delivers pinpoint targeting on full cuts. It also packs a 325+ swingweight, which provides the needed mass to get the ball moving through the court. In addition to updating this racquet with a 16x20 string pattern, Wilson reinforces the upper hoop to create a more solid and responsive hitting surface. As with the first generation of Clash racquets, the 98 v2 is defined by Wilson's innovative frame technology, originally called FreeFlex. Renamed FORTYFIVE, this patented frame technology enables the racquet to bend (and soften impact) across a wider geometry of stoke paths. The payoff is greater comfort when addressing the ball at extreme angles, a fact that makes the Clash very appealing to topspin players in search of a more tendon friendly option. Recommended to strong intermediates and advanced players.

Overall a good racquetPlayed highschool tennis with this and it was great, good balance and swing weight.
Wilson should keep making this racquetI'm sorry but it's a mistake from Wilson to stop making this racquet. I switched to it from the RF97 as I am getting older/arm issues and now I will have nothing to buy that plays similar with this much comfort. The new pro is just too light.
I'm a 5.0 player.
Easy to play withI’m a 52 year old 4.0 player and switched to this racquet from an old BLX Six.One 95. There was an adjustment period because this one has a much higher launch angle. Lots of easy spin and I can use polys without any arm issues. It gets pretty mixed reviews but for my game it is perfect.
Performance without painIf you enjoy striking the ball, playing with power, spin and control. START here. This racquet simply feels great and does what you expect it to. I’ve purchased and played with every racquet for advanced players on almost any review list you’ll find and none were as complete as the Clash 98. One of my tennis buddies was complaining of his elbow hurting, told him I’d ordered two racquets and wasn’t playing with the other and he could try it out as long as he wanted. He and his wife ordered four. It’s a truly pleasure racquet. I hope you’ll give it a try.
Great place to shop & excellent customer careThis was my second purchase, and I was unsure about the selection. The customer representative was incredibly patient and took the time to explain the options, helping me choose the best product. The racket I purchased turned out to be amazing, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking great products and excellent
Great racquet for those with tennis elbowPurchased the Clash based upon reviews stating it was a good racquet for those suffering with tennis elbow. The reviews were spot on as my wrist and elbow problems are much improved and the racquet hits well as a bonus.
Clash 98 the search is overI started back playing tennis after a 40 year pause. I been searching for a racquet that had everything- power, touch and a connection to the ball. I have purchased "the best” racquets in the game… and was still searching… until now. Great racquet. Usable power, spin and, control. Serve power and control are unbelievable. Hit multiple 120 mph+ serves last night… yes in the box ;) Seriously try the racquet.
Enjoying this racquetRecommended by my new coach. So far no complaints.
Wilson ClashI love this racquet not because of how it performs but because it has literally helped heal tennis elbow issues a few times for me. The racquet is perfect for older players (like myself) that like to play a lot and need a racquet that absorbs vibrations and is easy on your arm and shoulder.
