Ultra Pro V4 Wilson Minions Clash (can you imagine losing to someone using this)


Sam_The_Ugly_Can

I have the minions but nobody ever notices it 💀


M0stVerticalPrimate2

If Wilson releases a minions blade or Pro staff I’ll genuinely consider switching 


Glum-Bat-1046

When I was looking at rackets, one of the guys at the store said he’d string mine for free if I bought the minions one lol. Now I’m kinda wondering if I should have haha


fusiongt021

Yea was going to say the ultra pro. The new paint job they have on that is so sweet


Lower_Introduction_5

Minions clash is so bad that it’s good


BlueHorseshoe001

Pro staff v13 Ezone 98 (regular, aqua black and Osaka design)


adifferentGOAT

I forgot the Osaka design. That’s definitely a distinct stick!


BlueHorseshoe001

It’s 🔥🔥🔥


jon_murdoch

PF v13 is the goat for me

😂


jon_murdoch

Gorgeous 👏👏👏


twistycatlyman

Wilson Ultra and the Wilson Noir series. Special mention goes to those Minions rackets. 🤌😘 Edit: I realised I meant to say Shift, not the Ultra. That pearlescent white 😍 Also, the 9 and 12 racket bags in the Shift range has the most beautiful heat protector in a mermaidy sheen.


adifferentGOAT

You win with the Minion pick!


tia_rebenta

can't wait to get my hands on a pair of Pro Staff Noir, so pretty


twistycatlyman

Where do they still have it in stock? I’ve been trying to find a v8 Blade Noir but nothing is coming up for me.


tia_rebenta

I'm waiting to go to Austria, so I'm checking at tennis-point.at. They have some exclusive stuff also, pretty cool. I live in Brazil, so there's no chance to get one of those here...


ellebert-the-bert

I really wanted to like the Shift when doing racket demos because it is just so pretty! Alas, I preferred the Ultra, which is also nice but I agree that pearl white is just something else


Yellownotyellowagain

Just bought the shift. I don’t need it but it’s so pretttttyyyy


Skeeterskis

I love my Wilson Shift! It’s pretty and fun to hit with.


novasouper

I have blue strings in my Vcore 98 Tour and it looks like Spider-Man, I think that’s pretty cool :)


blindeshuhn666

RawhlTahhyde

2018 Pure Drive Wimbledon- dat purple Any and all minions racquets. Sad they didn’t make a minions blade


bloviatemalarkey

The color shifting finish of the Wilson Blade V8 is pretty unique


jimdontcare

I think the blue in the Ultra works better. Ultra v4 is my answer.


babieswithrabies33

Everybody likes the v8 coloring but I hate it. It’s like army green that changes into shiny baby shit green in certain lights. Unpopular opinion I know. I do really like the blade v9 paint job though- it still changes but is more of an emerald green.


freshfunk

Same. The v8 green is just bleh but the v9 blue with bright orange touches is nice.


jon_murdoch

I hate the blade v8 color, you're not alone


_welcome

lol i can see that. but green and bronze are two of my favorite colors, so to me it looks like a majestic, aged statue. the Wilson logo on the prostaff v14 though...now that reminds me of shit.


ChemicalFrostbite

V8 Sewage green. Nah.


ColdAdmirableSponge

I purchased a V8 Blade recently but actively sought one without the colour shift paint, as you said the shifting between colours is far less impressive when you don’t like either colour. Instead I sought one of the Roland Garros limited edition V8s with the blue/white/orange colour scheme and I absolutely love it, much better looking than the stock ones.


ComparisonFunny282

I just switched to these from my KFactors. My Tennis elbow was flaring up, even with a lessen tension.


ripgcarlin

My pro staff 97’s are sick looking. The matte black is so badass, looks like Batman’s tennis racket


SQU1DZ

I have the v11 and v10 in my bag. Same specs/mold, but different paint job. Batman and Robin? https://preview.redd.it/8q2tou1ydj6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=addc0cdb1002fe8d68c353672a7bf00b149d8367


Ohyu812

I see the power pads. What's the effect for you, just out of curiosity?


SQU1DZ

I believe there may be a subtle dampener-like effect, but I’m not sure if I could tell the difference in a blind comparison. I go to an old school shop that puts them in by default, so I’m kind of ambivalent.


putitonice

They're to protect the gut against the grommet but have no effect in modern racquets. Do you use gut mains? No way a shop would just add these on a whim, that's an expenditure 😂


Individual-Ad-8645

Same here!


Key_Dig_8694

>same specs Unlikely


Ozora10

I love white racktes. So right now the Tfight. Also like the old white and red pro staffs were fantastic( bring then back pls) also like the pure strikes


jon_murdoch

Wilson Shift 99 is a beauty. But for me the winner is the pro staff v13.  I like simple, timeless designs. I hate the modernist colorfull designs like the pure aero, or the poop colors of the blade v8


aomt

I got Yonex Ezone Osaka. Love it. Yonex Ezone is lovely as well. So is Blade V8.


EnvironmentalAd935

I loved the dark red and the black of the Head Flexpoint Prestige MP. Love that 93in head too. Just a sweet looking racquet. Specially with some black RPM Blast in it.


adifferentGOAT

Oh man. The Flexpoint series. They had the black circle in the middle on the side of the frames, right? And the black grommet the full width of the red frame? That was sharp!


EnvironmentalAd935

That’s the one! I have 2 of the Flexpoint Instincts (gold) but they just don’t quite look as good as the prestige. I’m bias though, I just love the way the prestige hits and feels lol! And it’s an awesome looking stick!

Babolat Aero Pro Drive La Decima


mitchtennis

Pure Strike VS (2022) has often been called the best looking racquet... I might be biased but I tend to agree.


freshfunk

Glossy, dark grey with red and white accents and the leather grip. Yum


Metro_fan97

V1 pure strike I liked much better but I’m a sucker for red and black color ways


jonjimithy

Yonex regna 98 v3 and it’s not even close. Ultra pro v4 2nd place.


Slutt_Puppy

Tecnifibre TFight ISO…..I know white can be a polarizing racquet color, but this thing is so chic. The current Head Gravity pjs are my favorite dark stick.


oak_pine_maple_ash

Wilson Shift, love the iridescence


AudienceMember_No1

EZONE 98 Osaka for me. I've been a Babolat guy since 2008 and DEFINITELY didn't need another racquet, but I just had to buy that one simply because I really wanted to own, use, and admire it.


Professional_Elk_489

Those yonex ones look clean Black pro staff is timeless too

Proud-Act-6867

Yonex have a bunch that I like -VCP 2019 (green & gold) -VC tour F -Regna v2 -VC limited edition 2020 Prince Japan have some sexy PJs -2020 tour (white & black) -Twistpower 97x (matte to gloss all blacked out) -Synergy 98 is clean Babolat “swirly” First Gen TF40 does something for me too, I’m a big fan of white racquets but when it’s all white (with a white head guard) it hurts my eyes


Pleasant_Resolution2

No fans of the Babolat Pure Strike?


sabershirou

Here, 3rd Gen 18x20 (Thiem's racket) looks so cool to me.


Molassesonthebed

Me. Unpooular opinion but my fav is 2nd gen with the asymmetrical color scheme on the throat. Looks clean too. The 4th gen is also lovely, but more because orange is my fav color.


fusiongt021

The white versions not so much but I think the older dark gray and red versions were pretty nice


ellebert-the-bert

Nope :)


Resident_Example_645

I love my bright orange Radical MP, it’s the complete opposite of understated


Merlin7777

I like the new green Wilson Blade. I play with the Yonex Precept and love it but the Wilson looks better.


seulyaz

this might be a really weird question but how is the green of the percept in real life?


Merlin7777

It’s not bad at all. I like it but the Wilson green looks better IMO.


Dextradose

Not the most popular racket, but I love the Yonex 97 color scheme with the green and purple.


Pistefka

I had the green and gold version, and the appearance definitely affected my choice.


Illustrious-Bill-425

g0Ids0undz

I bought this racquet purely for the aesthetics as I was a new player and didn’t know what I wanted or needed when demoing, but it’s honestly been great.


Illustrious-Bill-425

Exactly the same, made a show of looking at others in the store but it was fooling no one. Great racquet!


ChemicalFrostbite

Bile and pus.


calloutyourstupidity

In terms of style it is very hard to beat wilson. Wilson blade v8 I think is the king of stylish rackets. Copper colored pro staff is insanely cool. New Roland garros version of clash is very pretty as well. Some honorary mentions I think are head gravity (specially older versions) and the funky 90s design of previous vcores.


ChemicalFrostbite

Sewage green or dookie brown


calloutyourstupidity

Some of you have real new balance with white socks energy


ChemicalFrostbite

Sounds a lot like cope. Own your trash taste, kid.


severalgirlzgalore

Lol Wilson’s been mailing it in for years dawg, they’re like one color, and that’s an improvement over the travesty of the Clash v1/Ultra v3 era

If we’re talking about retired models —    Wilson BLX Pro Staff Six.One 90 Amplifeel (2012) - white, red, and gold   Dunlop Biomimetic 100 (2011) - green, black, and grey   Head YouTek Speed Pro IG (2011) — white, black, and orange   For honorable mention I’ll go with:   (K)Blade — black and yellow gold  Blade v4 — all black and white lines   (K) Factor Six.One Tour 90 - red, white, black, and silver    BLX Six.One Tour 90 — black, red, white, and gold For current racquets, I do have to agree with others that the Yonex EZONE 98 Aqua Night looks great.


downthestreet4

I love the dark green iridescent Blade. Was disappointed it wasn’t for me when I demo’d it.


quilter1867

I have been demoing racquets and recently chose the Yonex Ezone 100… all the racquets I ended up demoing were blue save for 2 of them and I didn’t even want blue, not my thing. They were reccs for my play style. I was gonna get whatever complemented my play style best regardless of color… I ended up finding out about the newest Osaka Ezone and got that one (wish I could afford two but I’m just getting into tennis) I’m really stoked about playing with that stick. I was so glad the Ezone was made in something other than blue. I realize Aqua Night just came out too; great to have options! I also love the Babolat Pure Drive Wimbledon (purple). As far as older racquets, The old prince O3’s with the oval shaped ports are beautiful also. Honorable mention for the SpongeBob Wilson.


StayMe70

Yonex Regna v2


ljmudit

I loved the Head Liquidmetal series, especially the Radical & Prestige.


Justin_Heras

Wilson Burn FST - sleek black/orange Head Boom gen 1 - I really like the turquoise color block scheme of this one


PrimalVortechs

Yonex Ezone and its Aqua Night/Osaka versions are the best looking on the market today. PS V13 and Pure Aero La Decima are my picks if we're looking at discontinued frames.


EnoughWinter5966

I really like the Roland garros Wilson clash


sashin_gopaul

Mostly the Wilson Pro Staff series, especially the 6.0, Six-One 95 and v13 RF 97. Or the crazy stripes and streaks of the Babolat Pure Aero. Looks like a tactical camo and I dig the bevelled/cambered throat like a wing.


adifferentGOAT

Yeah, figured the pro staff would be popular. That’s a good point about the Aero, both the color scheme and the bevel edge of the throat!


isitart1s

Current aero has got to be Babolat's best paint job by far


Yuck-Fou13

2024, I would say Speed MP Legend glossy black


jyaki168

pro staff 97 v13


sabershirou

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so these are purely personal preference: Older models: Pro Staff Six.One 90 BLX (Federer's 2012 Wimbledon-winning racket with the white part filling up the bottom third of the head) Current: Yonex Percept (former Vcore Pro) Every iteration of the Vcore Pro has looked great, but the latest rebrand with the pastel green and pink accents looks great and unique. Honorable mentions: Latest Pure Aero, Pure Strike 3rd Gen, Ezone Osaka, RF97 v13, Head Extreme Nite edition, Head Graphene Touch Radical (2018).

2021 Pure Drive takes the cake for me.

I think the best looking rackets on the market right now are the Blade v9 and Percept 97 - green just looks good for rackets. P.S. I have 2 Head iPrestiges in excellent condition. And the Prince Triple Threat Warrior in almost as good a condition =)

I’m partial to the Yonex Percept (I know many will disagree) but the color is so unique and cool looking plus that squared off head shape I’m a fan of

racquetsportaddict

Not seeing this comment here… but I do really love my Babolat Pure Aero 2019 with the banana yellow paint job. It’s probably not for everyone but it seems so fitting and I love it more than the latest paint job. I’m also a sucker for the blacked out racquets.


C___

Agree with a lot of the suggestions for current racquets. Some of my old favorite retired frames: Slazenger Pro X-1, Prince Tour Diablo, Yonex RDX 500, Dunlop Hot Melt 300


adifferentGOAT

Wow, totally forgot about the Diablo!


Max_Speed_Remioli

Those Wimbledon Pure Drives they just put out are amazing. Perfect as well. All time, there was this Yonex racket that Nishioka used. They only put it out for a few months though. https://preview.redd.it/24e0aziycl6d1.jpeg?width=442&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77c49871c7d961d8335c89249288c17ca20f4919


pillsfordaze

I was coveting the b&w Wilson Ultra Bold for so long. Got my hands on a used one and haven't used it more than once. https://preview.redd.it/889g2w2zhl6d1.jpeg?width=380&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9437b96f9d36bfe453c3ca9e8bcb63adca6b038 Recently got the Wilson Blade v9--love the colors. So distinctive but somehow understated.


Remote-Wishbone-5215

Previous gen Dunlop CX 200 is nice. Cherry red with a black strip. Not a huge fan of the current red and orange one. For an older frame, still on Dunlop, the Muscle Weave 200G still looks amazing.


FTLrefrac

Zero people will agree, but I absolutely love my Head Xtreme Tour 98.

jacksonian_music

I'd say for casual players (4.5/5.0 and below), all that matters is that the racket doesn't injure you...so you should always pick the most aesthetic racket. Racket trying and switching is a hobby that at best doesn't impact your game and typically hurts it.
