Wilson covers most club priorities. Start with how you want the ball to leave the stringbed, then demo the family that fits — not just the colourway.
Updated 18 September 2026 · Our guide for UK club players, not hands-on reviews.
Blade is the control-and-feel middle ground, Clash brings softer forgiveness, Ultra gives freer pace, Shift targets spin, and Pro Staff stays classic and precise.
Who each family suits, its current generation, and links only where we already have profiles.

Precision and feel
Who it’s for: Intermediate–advanced players who generate their own pace and want precision and feel.
Current generation is v10: Blade 98 16×19 and 18×20, 100, plus lighter 100L/UL and 104 options. It sits between classic Pro Staff control and the easier power of Clash or Ultra.
Who it’s for: Players who want spin, controllable depth and a modern feel.
It is still v1, with 99, 99L and 99 Pro options. Note: the range’s future is unclear and it is near the end of its run, so check UK stock before relying on it.
When your technique is solid and you create your own pace, try Blade or Pro Staff.
Always demo before buying, ideally with the same string and tension across the shortlist.
Before you buy: Rackets in the same range get updated every year or two, and shops sometimes label the same racket with different years. Before you buy, check the model year, head size and grip on the shop or brand page, and try a demo if you can. Model years here come from Wilson’s own listings; these are guides, not hands-on reviews. Last checked: 18 September 2026.
