Solinco Blackout 285 Tennis Racquet

It was only a matter of time until one of the most popular string manufacturers came out with a racquet: the Solinco Blackout 100 (285G) tennis racquet is here! This racquet features a slew of Solinco's new racquet technologies, including Power Flex Zone that maximizes the beam thickness at the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock for increased power and strengthens the bridge for maximized energy return; incorporated Liquid Crystal fibers that optimize flex and feel, and offer comfort and better control; 40T Carbon Fiber at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to maximize the sweet spot, stability, and power of your shot; and finally, the innovative Weight Control Module, which offers an optional (sold separately) interchangeable 5-gram or 10-gram butt cap plates so that you can tailor the weight and balance of the racquet to your liking.

In terms of fundamentals, this racquet has a 100 square-inch head size, weighs in at 10.6 ounces when strung, and is evenly balanced, making this the ideal choice for power. The 16x19 string pattern lets the strings bite into the ball for greater spin potential, and the sleek all- black color way comes together for a high-performance racquet for an adept player.
