Solinco Whiteout 290
Overview
Introducing the Whiteout 290! Like the Whiteout 305, this stick combines a classic 21.7mm box beam with a surgical 98 square inch head and a spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern. On the court, it delivers great control and feel while still packing enough pop for finishing points. At 10.7 ounces strung and boasting a sub-315 swingweight the Whiteout 290 is great for the intermediate player who wants a maneuverable racquet with controllable power. Technologies include 40T Carbon Fiber at 3/9 o'clock, resulting in a larger sweetspot along with a more stable feel on off-center impact. In addition to 21.7mm flat beam, Solinco adds Liquid Crystal Technology to the layup in order to reduce hash vibrations and lighten the load on your tendons. The Whiteout 305 also benefits from Foam Technology in the head, giving it a more solid, dampened and stable feel. Ultimately, the Whiteout 290 is a great option for rising intermediate players who want a speedy racquet that can hit every shot in the book.
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 stock weight) - sold separately
