What players say
Reviewers agree the v2 update softened the Blackout with a foam-injected frame, giving it a more connected, dampened feel than the original while keeping easy power and spin for aggressive baseliners. Opinions split on control: some playtesters found directional control and depth management strong, while Tennisnerd's Jonas Eriksson felt control and short-angle precision suffered on defense and that the dampening left the response a bit too muted.
Best for
- Aggressive baseliners
- Players who want easy spin and power
- Developing to intermediate players wanting forgiveness
- Players moving from stiffer power frames who want more cushion
Pros
- Foam-injected frame gives a softer, more connected, more comfortable feel than the v1
- Easy access to power and spin, especially on serves
- Large, forgiving sweet spot from the 3-and-9 o'clock carbon layup
- Good maneuverability for quick hands at net and compact swings
Cons
- Control narrows on defense, especially finding short angles or small targets under pressure
- Some testers found the dampened response a little too muted
- Tight, low slices can float rather than skid through the court
- Launch angle runs a bit high, so depth control needs deliberate topspin

Once you are on defense and you have less time to adjust, I felt like I lacked some control especially when I needed to find a short angle.

Low mid-court slices can float and sit up rather than jet through the court.
