This explosive racquet is dangerous in the hands of aggressive baseliners
Introducing the Blackout 300! Designed with the help of seasoned industry technicians and professional players the Blackout 300 is fast explosive and powerful. It also delivers the kind of spin-friendly targeting that will help you hit sharp angled passing shots or pull the trigger at end of a long rally. With its quick handling and solid feel, the Blackout 300 shines at net where you'll find enough pop to finish points with a bang. Technologies include 40T Carbon Fiber at 3/9 o'clock, resulting in a larger sweetspot along with a more solid and responsive feel on off-center impact. Ball feedback is further enhanced by Solinco's Liquid Crystal Technology which is added to the layup in order to reduce hash vibrations. Ultimately, with the Blackout 300, Solinco has produced a speedy all-court weapon for intermediate and advanced players. Aggressive ball strikers who like controlling the action with pace and spin should give this stick a very serious look.
This racquet's weight and balance can be modified using Solinco's weight control modules (interchangeable butt-cap plates that enable you to add 5 or 10 grams to the stock weight) - sold separately

Comments: Received the racquet last week. I would say it's an outstanding model. The racquet provides great control, super quick swing, with a ton of power at the same time. Don't trust the stiffness spec. 71RA looks high, but it gives a good pop without harsh feeling to my arm during the impact. Stability and sweetspot is great all around the court. I strung with Hyper-G 16L at 52lbs, but next time I will adjust to 53-54lbs for a little more control.

Comments: I've played with the most of the tweener racquets on the market and the Blackout is the most balanced one in terms of power, feel, control and comfort. I think I finally found the frame that I can settle!

Comments: One of the best quality racquet releases in recent times! Very powerful, but still manages to offer great control. Solid feel and shines on serves and returns. You'd be hard pressed to find a more all around racquet. Glad I made the switch!

Comments: Think Babolat Pure Drive, but more feel. Super maneuverable for a power stick, can take big cuts without fencing the ball. Great for volleys as well. Used with Confidential 16 @ 46 lbs.
