Having used the V1 for some time and currently playing for a couple of months now with this new V2, I think your review is spot on ! I agree 100% with your comments and comparison with the previous version. This racket is absolutely great for an intermediate player that worries about elbow and shoulder injuries, like I do. It is really worth the upgrade. Thanks for all your great reviews Jean-Pierre
Someone with this guys level should be trying the clash pro as well. I hit with my friends v1 100 and v2 pro. They are very different but both great. 100 has tons of spin, flexes like a wet noodle and felt like it was impossible to miss. The pro has more heft and more pop and stability. I am torn on which one to get as they are both excellent with different strengths.
have you tried the 98 v2 becouse its a bit more weight and a bit more control , the thing is i got elbow surgery and my deportologist suggest me flexible raquets and im gonna compete im 5.5 to 6.0 level . can i play with this one couse i think 100 frame will hurt my control used to play with the blade 98
Jean-Pierre, i’ve been testing the Yonex Vcore 100 and the Clash 100 V2. I sent the Yonex back. The more I hit with the Clash, the more I like it. I’m getting good power , some spin, good serves, very solid and stable. I want to try the new 2023 Pure Aero 100. Please try to get the new Pure Aero and make a video. You have the best racquet reviews.Jean-Pierre, Do you use the SW forehand grip? And do you ever switch to Eastern during play?
I made a french review of the pure aero, I don't have time for the english version. Anyway it has less power, less top spin, and I'd say a bit less comfort than the previous one. I switch between eastern and sw grip for my forehand.
I could send you mine to see if it works better than yours😀 But same for me, I always wondered why my Head Prestige 600 didn't work the same as Marat Safin's Prestige !
For control, monofilament are recommanded ; Luxilon Alu Power for instance. I prefer the Luxilon Element which is softer. I liked the Wilson Revove also. Rather comfortable for a poly string.
Hi. can you recommend hybrid setup for strings. i use to play with Pure drive VS strung with RPM, 48pound but i got injured lately from extensive playing. which was what prompted me to look into a more comfort orientated racket and setup. Hope u can recommend some setup that may fit me.
Hi. Your tension seems fine. You could start with testing a soft mono : Luxilon Element, Luxilon Smart, Wilson Revolve, Head Lynx Touch. Technique has to be checked also, to track any lack of looseness.
Hard to say because it's personal and my differ from one player to another. I liked : Wilson Blade 98S, Head Extreme Tour, Head Prestige MP L. And often times, racquets with a 98 in² head size and neutral balance or HL balance.
That's a personal choice but if the idea is to improve stability, yes. I'd start by adding at 3 and 9 to not increase the swingweight too much but why not 2 and 10.
Hi Sir, we love watching your play and review style. I am an intermediate level player and using porostaff 97 so far. I feel my strokes are mostly flat and lack the level of top spin that I would want to have. After watching your video..I would want to try Clash 100 v2. By the way are you still using Clash 100 as your daily raquet?
Loved your racquet swapping part in this review. I never thought to try it myself. Are we to expect an English version of your Aero review? I am mostly curious to know there is more comfort than the last few Aeros.
I completely lack time to make english versions of my reviews. I'd like but currently it takes too long. For The Pure Aero, mainly less powerful and less top spin than the previous one.
I lacked control on some powerful shots but overall, no problems. With time, I think it's just the weight and the swingweight that could be too low for me but currently it's fine. I think the react reacts a bit differently on soft and powerful shots, so it can surprise some players indeed. As always, the best is to demo the racquet.
Thanks for sharing your views and experience with Clash V2. It is indeed way more convincing and helpful than other ‘reviews’ on the web. I have ordered the RG limited version (not a big fan of red) and wondering if I should lower the 55 tension (to 50-52lb) of the Alu Power proposed by the shop in light of the your choice and most other reviewers lower tension choice of 48-50 notwithstanding Wilson’s recommended tension range of 50-60 lb. Tks again.
Late to the party but I just ordered a RG Clash V2 as well since I don't like the deep matte red paint job. Pairing it with 53lb alu power strings and I can't wait to try it out.
Love to hear your experience with your set up. Must admit I was a bit disappointed with mine. Plan to restring it with natural gut hybrid to see any improvement.
@@franzose1967 98 heavier than the 295 g version, feels more solid, easier to swing in 1H backhand with the smaller head size. I should test it once again, longer than the last time.
@@sportscastercanada The best is to demo. Personnaly I'm going to try the raquet a bit longer and if it's still fine, I'll get the new one because the other I have becomes a bit old.
Clash V2 has a stronger vibrations absorption, more flexible. Boom comfortable but more classic. Boom maybe a bit more stable but close. Similar racquets but the feeling is different, Boom less muted.

Ok, thank you for your feedback. Indeed the comfort is crazy.
Really enjoyed the video. The tennis session was extremely good to watch. You were timing the balls to perfection!
Welcome back. Very good reviews. Thank you.
Hope your body is well. Best technique and timing. I could watch you play extended time. Very good!
Not very well but I do my best to come back in shape :) Thanks for your comment ! I could post a long video where I just rally and comment what I do.

Excellent review and excellent playing technique. Thanks. I bought the pro Version.
Thank you ! The pro is heavier and feels more solid, Im gonna try the 98, will publish on my french channel.
amazing review

May I know what strings do you use on your new Clash V2 100? @John Nacke
Why does my Clash not work like yours???
That's same as me all the time I try new racket~!! LOL🤣🤣
I could send you mine to see if it works better than yours😀
But same for me, I always wondered why my Head Prestige 600 didn't work the same as Marat Safin's Prestige !
@@team-tennisenglish1514 prestige is one difficult raquet. Many real solid players always wanted to use it but could not!
Thank you for the review Jean-Pierre! I have the V1, and was wondering if you could recommend me a good control string or hybrid setup? Thanks.
For control, monofilament are recommanded ; Luxilon Alu Power for instance. I prefer the Luxilon Element which is softer. I liked the Wilson Revove also. Rather comfortable for a poly string.
How does this compare to Yonex EZone 100 in regards to comfort?
I'd say the Clash is more comfortable, big vibrations absorption. The Ezone is not bad either, more classical feelings, less flexible.
Id love you to review the Clash 98 v2
I don't think I'll review that one.
Hi.
can you recommend hybrid setup for strings.
i use to play with Pure drive VS strung with RPM, 48pound
but i got injured lately from extensive playing.

Jean- Pierre, Out of the many racquets you have played with, which ones would you say were very good for the backhand? Ciao, John
Hard to say because it's personal and my differ from one player to another. I liked : Wilson Blade 98S, Head Extreme Tour, Head Prestige MP L. And often times, racquets with a 98 in² head size and neutral balance or HL balance.
Would you recommend to add lead tape for more stability ? At 2&10 o’clock ? 3g total ?
That's a personal choice but if the idea is to improve stability, yes. I'd start by adding at 3 and 9 to not increase the swingweight too much but why not 2 and 10.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 got mine almost on spec. 296g, plays nice with Luxilion Alu Power Soft, so no need for “tuning” 🙂
Hi - I wonder if you have also tried the Clash 98? Any comments on this one vs the 100?
Just tried the 98 V2 a bit. I liked. Easy to swing, extreme comfort. Semi powerful.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 I'm using V1 and love that. Perfect for my game as it is now.

By the way are you still using Clash 100 as your daily raquet?
Nice review, which other racket ressembles at this clash ?
Not easy because the Clash is very special. Maybe the Head Boom MP but the feeling is different.
what kind of string are you using??

Always watch the videos in French and in English. Many complain about the unpredictability of the racquet . What do you think?
I lacked control on some powerful shots but overall, no problems. With time, I think it's just the weight and the swingweight that could be too low for me but currently it's fine.

I think you should try different tensions to see what fits you best but indeed don't fear to lower the tension.

a clash 98 review would be nice
Yes, I've tried it quickly and found it very nice. Didn't have the time to record a video and I should test it a bit more.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 thank you very much. Any main differences to the 100?

Why do I experience vibration in my Wilson Clash racket?
I don't know it's strange. Maybe because of a certain type of strings ?
Is it worth the upgrade from the clash v1?
If you don't lack power and stability with the V1, not sure. I think you should demo it to compare.
That’s the million dollar question. I think the V1.0 is fine and not worth upgrading.
@@sportscastercanada The best is to demo. Personnaly I'm going to try the raquet a bit longer and if it's still fine, I'll get the new one because the other I have becomes a bit old.
Hi, head boom mp vs clash v2?
Clash V2 has a stronger vibrations absorption, more flexible. Boom comfortable but more classic. Boom maybe a bit more stable but close. Similar racquets but the feeling is different, Boom less muted.
Can you please review the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98
Going to be difficult Marat :) I lack time for the english version of my reviews.
