Looking for today’s Wilson Pro Open

[ectay94]

My favorite setup as a competitive junior was the Wilson nPro Open and BLX pro open with Luciano and sensation strung around 55.
After 4 years away, I want to compete again but need help finding something comparable. So far I’ve enjoyed the clash 100 v1, but the fact that it seems no advanced players use it is slightly concerning. I have a new Babolat Pure drive coming since it seems they’ve added the comfort I felt it lacked in years past. Anyone have any other recommendations, including strings, to sort of match what I used to love?

Hard to find a similar...try the Dunlop FX 500..

Something that falls in line with Babolat Aero Pro/Pure Aero specs would be the most similar, I think.
Give the Pure Aero a shot, Head Extreme MP, etc...
I think the Wilson that might be the closest would be the Ultra 100, if the Clash isn't an option for you. The Pure Drive you're demoing will also be a decent option. As far as strings go - I haven't hit with Sensation before, but I have hit with Head Velocity, and it sounds similar. It's a solid string, nice comfort, with slightly better-than-average spin potential than other multis.

Good luck with your search!

Hard to find replacement for Pro Open. Unique stick

I loved the pro opens and bought a bunch on the tw Europe site when they made them available 7-8 years ago. They also recently rereleased the green ones - you may be able to find some of those somewhere.

I went with the clash 100 for the past two years, but I find them to be too light (and the clash pro too heavy). I just settled into the Yonex vcore 100, which I find similar to the pro open - especially with flex (I have a tender elbow).

I would recommend the vcore 100 or the extreme mp as potential replacements.

good luck with your search!

Extreme and VCore 100 have more open pattern then Pro Open. Most similar frames would be EZone 100, Instinct MP and PD. Personally I would go with Insticnt
MP!

Ezone 100 for sure. Do not recommend the Instinct to anyone looking for fond memories of rackets past. It will taint the memory with garbage.

Being a Pro Open player myself... I would say:
Ezone 100/98 (they both play bigger than their numbers suggest)
Textreme Tour 100 (not phantom)
Beast 100
