Wilson Clash Junior
The Clash is the modern Wilson racquet that proved a frame could be both stable and genuinely flexible — and the junior version inherits that arm-friendly DNA. The Clash family uses FreeFlex carbon mapping that lets the frame bend on contact rather than fight the ball, which translates to a softer impact and noticeably less shock through the wrist. For a junior who's growing fast, learning technique, and hitting the ball thousands of times a week, that comfort matters.
Who it suits
The Clash Junior 25 (250g) suits ages 8-10; the Clash Junior 26 (255g) suits ages 10-12. It's a particularly good choice for juniors with any history of arm complaints, or for parents prioritising frame comfort during high-volume training. For more spin, see the Yonex Vcore Junior; for control, the Blade Junior.
Frequently asked questions
What makes the Clash Junior arm-friendly?
FreeFlex carbon mapping lets the frame bend on contact — softer impact, less shock through the wrist and elbow than a typical junior racquet.
Clash Junior 25 vs 26 — how do I choose?
Use height, not just age: under 140cm go for the 25"; 140-150cm go for the 26". Trial swings in-store help if you're between sizes.
Is the Clash Junior powerful?
Moderate power. The flex makes it feel "softer" than a Pure Drive but ball pace is still solid. It's a balanced all-court frame.
Does it come pre-strung?
Yes — Wilson junior models arrive pre-strung with a soft string suited to developing players.
What's the adult version?
The full Wilson Clash range — typically Clash 100 or 100L is the natural upgrade once your child approaches 150cm.
