With the Blackout 300 XTD, Solinco takes the spin and pop of the standard length version and kicks it up a notch. At 27.5 inches long, this stick will enable you to attack the ball with extra momentum, resulting in heavier groundies and dangerous serves. 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. On the court, this stick swings heavier than the standard length Blackout 300, making it slightly more challenging to use. However, for the aggressive player who can leverage the extra dynamic mass, this stick, with its spin-friendly targeting and powerful delivery, is a formidable weapon.

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
