How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Clash 108 v3 is built around arm comfort and forgiveness. Its control is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. It is easy to swing and quick to maneuver, which suits developing strokes, doubles reflexes, and longer sessions. It is one of the gentler frames on the arm, a sensible pick if elbow or wrist comfort is a real concern.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Very soft multifilament at low tension.
