Racquet Review: Wilson Clash V3 put to the test at Evert Tennis Academy

When it first launched, the Wilson Clash revolutionized the way racquets were designed, breaking away from traditional models that catered strictly to professionals. Now in its third generation, the Wilson Clash V3 lineup returns with a bold design and even bolder performance. To put these frames to the test, Florida Tennis headed to the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, Florida, where junior standouts Rodrigo Garza and Atra Biria shared their thoughts after an intensive on-court session.

These talented juniors brought serious insight to the table. Rodrigo, a promising player with international tournament experience, was quick to point out the strengths of the Clash 100 V3. “I felt that it had a lot of control,” he said. “I wasn’t missing a lot with this one.” With its 100-square-inch head and 295g frame, the Clash 100 V3 proved to be the most forgiving and versatile racquet in the lineup—ideal for club players looking to strike a balance between comfort, power, and control.

Rodrigo preferred the 305g version, closer to his usual 310g setup. “It had a lot more power,” he noted, particularly enjoying the plow-through and weight behind his serves. Whether crushing overheads or slicing drop shots, he found the frame offered a consistent feel and helped him stay aggressive from start to finish. “I’d recommend it to players who like to control the ball and use slices or drop shots in their game.”

Atra, a powerful baseliner and typically a Wilson Blade 98 user, echoed Rodrigo’s sentiments, favoring the heavier Clash 100 Pro V3 for its ability to generate effortless power. “It was smoother for me,” she said. “I could hit through my shots, generate spin easily, and place the ball wherever I wanted.” She appreciated the flexibility and forgiveness of the Clash, which provided a softer feel than her usual setup.

One of her biggest takeaways? The kick on her second serve. “I got a lot of spin easily and could kick it really high,” she said, noting how the Clash helped her serve and return game become more consistent and reliable.

Of course, looks matter too, and both players agreed that the new Clash design pops. With its sleek frame and vibrant neon red accents, this racquet turns heads on the court before you even hit your first ball.
