US OPEN CLASH 2023
This Wilson tennis racket takes the playability of our Clash 100 v2 and mixes it with a design inspired by the biggest clay court tennis tournament in the world. The Clash 100 US Open offers flexibility and stability thanks to the patented FORTYFIVE° construction. We reconstructed the tip of the hoop, stretching the sweet spot and enhancing stability up higher in the string bed. The result? A great all-around racket with plenty of style.

i really hate the colour scheme, it looks like a kmart racquet.
i do love the price though if you can get past the bland look.
i use to own both.
Clash will fit most people young and old. great comfort and power
Blade i would save for medium to advanced players. you are going to have to put more work into this balanced racquet. i would say it is average/above average in power, spin, and control
also the type of string and string tension is very very very very important to maximise your racquet.
