What the hell is this! Booty Stink! for sure. Whoever came up with this, should be shown the door yesterday.
Wilson-consider hiring me to your design team. I can triple your sales just on designed color cosmetics alone. You think I'm kidding?
Here is just one example: Reverse the Prototype cosmetics to black background with white pattern and deep purple logos, and leave out the matte paint, gloss baby! gloss.
Forget the common overused oranges, reds, and blues, and utilize the Regal Colors of purple, gold, silver, emerald, and black. Modestly and tastefully utilize mirror and prism, and for goodness sake, leave the fluorescent paint to the traffic cones. Your welcome.

Anyone have any update on a 98? The super low stiffness on these is probably gonna get me to buy a pair but I don’t want to if a 98 is coming out 2 months later.

I have a pic of a glossy pro stock clash 100 with a 98 paintjob, so yeah it will likely come out.
Can you post it?

Probably. But if you really want one and the official PJ is so ugly, any alternative at all might be priceless!
The glossy paint is nice, the matte paint not..
Plays awesome in 98!

Can you comment anything in terms of feel compared to pro staff or a blade (not CV) for example ?

any Ideas when the 98 comes out?
I would say more feel then both of them. I feel the ball more ( and longer) with the clash, also due to the wonderful low RA of 55. But I like my PT57A's more. But I like the Clash more then my H19! Wich im gonna sell

The paint job is shown on pages 46-47 of the February 2019 tennis industry magazine edition http://www.tennisindustrymag.com/issues/201902/index.php

Looks like the frame has some sheen to it! Nice!
I saw a tour frame last night and didn’t mind it at all. Actually thought it was better than what Wilson has been doing with black frames and colors on the side.
Nothing I would be proud of to have designed but not horrible either.
If the Clash ends up going in my bag then I will most likely be intrigued with doing a custom paint job if offered.

You sell more racquets that way. Release the 100 first and there'll be some people who really want the 98 but don't want to wait months to get the 98, so they buy the 100, then months later simply must have the 98 when that comes out.

That is so @teachingprotx at 3:41...... bet he does that with all his racquets trying to get them to flex more. More, dammit!
So looking at those graphics they made this racquet with very low flex, but very high torsional stability and twistweight? Thats how i read it anyhows.

Do you know if retail Clash 98 going to be gloss or matte. Looks like from photo you shared it was gloss but not sure if its just glossy cause its demo.

It will be matte. This was a demo for a pro player. Pro players almost all of them get gloss, looks better on tv.. And thats a pity, the gloss version looks great. The 98 (tour) version will come in septembre. Ill buy them and sent them to Unstrung Customs for a nice paintjob

From memory they retailed for $800 in Australia; can't remember anyone actually buying one though.

Dammit I thought that was the case. Clash logo looks so much better in the glossy metalic than the matte....It will be matte. This was a demo for a pro player.

Just saw the 100 version of this racquet in a shop today. Matte finish and it didn’t strike me as something I’d like looking at all the time. I’m curious on how it plays, though.
