Solinco Whiteout 305 18×20

[mn_chilly]

I know I am few years behind the ball but the Solinco Whiteout 305 18x20 caught my eye. Does anyone here have any experience with this frame? What don't the reviews on YouTube tell consumers about it? Any experience with playing around the weighted buttcaps for the 18x20? Do you think Solinco will make a second version of this like they did with 16x19?

I hit flat anyways so this stick caught my eye. Thoughts?

I, like many, enjoyed the 18x20 XTD over the standard length. But overall the White Out is a good frame. It's their Blade IMO.

I hit briefly w/ the 18x20 XTD, and I'm not sure if this 25 yr old reference will help, but it reminded me of a blend of the Pure Control + "Swirly" and the Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 Stretch. Had they released this frame 6-8 years ago, it would have been my main stick instead of the VCOREs I had been using, but my aging shoulder needs all the help it can get, so I went w/ the Blackout XTD.

It's my understanding that they will eventually release an 18x20 V2, as well as XTD versions (at least that's the RUMINT in other threads), likely soon after the V2 of the Blackout (which is rumored to be sometime in August).

I have one in 1/4 grip thinking about selling it. Used only once strung with Confidential/Reatring Sync hybrid. Let me know if interested. Bueno.Jason@gmail.com

What they dont tell you is that you need to actually move your feet for this racquet....that being said, when you do get into position its got elite directional control along with plenty of spin and pop. My case may be very similar to McLovin in that if I were a little more fit I would have opted for this frame instead of my current BO XTD. Out of the V1 WhiteOuts I thought this one was the best for sure.
