Wilson Clash v2 100 vs Pure Aero, Yonex VCORE 98

[SeeKayYu]

Wanted to ask your thoughts for the pros/cons of these 3 sticks. I've been playing with the Pure Aero for a while now but occasionally get arm soreness if I play more than 4x a week, and have trouble with hard flat winners and touch/feel shots.

My usual setup is a T1 Black Knight 19/1.15 shaped poly on mains, Gosen OG-Sheep Micro 16/1.30 syn gut on cross, 48 lbs.

I have tried the VCORE 100 and VCORE 98 at a local club, I feel like maybe the demos had dead poly that weren't shaped so the spin wasn't great - the VCORE 98 especially seemed to have a smaller sweetspot and felt pretty gross and unstable on off-center volleys with is a big concern for me. The launch angle also seemed lower for the VCORE. But again it's probably because I'm getting free power+spin from my usual setup compared to the VCOREs.

My Clash v2 100 and 100 Pro is coming on Tuesday and I'm hoping that the softer flex can help with the touch/feel as well as give me more confidence when hitting flat winners but I've heard videos and read reviews say that the feel is "weird".

Would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the Clash v2 to see if it could potentially be worth a switch.

I have been playing with the Blade v7 18x20. Play mostly doubles at 4.5. I have the Blade weighted to 12oz- 7hl. I have decided to go lighter but I will keep the balance. I tried the Vcore98 - nice power and control, good spin. I tried the SpeedPro.Graphene360MP- really nice spin power, serves even better than any of the racquets I have tried. Also tried the SpeedPro - nice control but I liked the 360MP better. I tried the TF40-305. Nice all around - it is 18x20, so control was great. Just a little too heavy for me vs the VCORE and 360MP. I tried the PureAero but got a bad racquet- loose pieces in the throat- really annoying and difficult to assess. I tried the Clash- it played really well but lacked power- volleys were exceptional. I will demo the Vcore98, 360MP and the Pure strike and probably decide from these 3. Also all were strung w multi string- not poly. This doesn’t answer your question but gives you a point of reference. The Clash is nice control without much power, while the other 2 are great all-around racquets.

I don't know. I play a Pure Aero VS. Love it.

But based on your post, seems like maybe you should add in a Head MP Speed.

Based on what you're looking for, that's the racket that came to my mind.
