What players say
Tennis Warehouse's multi-tester playtest of the extended 27.5" Blackout 300 XTD v2 found easy baseline power, strong spin, and a stable, solid feel, with testers calling it an improvement over the v1 in control. The main trade-off testers flagged was the extra length, which took adjustment and felt less maneuverable up close, and a couple of testers had trouble finding consistency and extra kick on serves.
Best for
- Aggressive baseliners wanting easy depth
- Big servers wanting extra leverage
- Players moving up to an extended-length frame
- Players wanting spin plus stability
Pros
- Easy, ample power and depth from the baseline
- Strong spin potential on groundstrokes, serves, and slices
- Stable and comfortable at impact, aided by foam and Liquid Crystal dampening
- Testers felt it offered better control than the v1
Cons
- Extended length takes adjustment and feels less maneuverable at net and on quick exchanges
- One tester found it too demanding to control consistently
- Some testers had trouble generating extra topspin on short/angled shots or kick serves

I enjoyed ample pace and spin on my shots with the Blackout 300 XTD v2.
— Chris, Web
I felt way more in control of the power...I had much better success controlling the depth.
— Brittany, Web
The Blackout 300 XTD v2 was stable enough that I was able to return tough serves.
— Tiffani, Web
I sometimes struggled to accelerate quickly enough, mostly when trying to hit short topspin.
— Oak, Web
If you are curious about an extended frame but wary of additional length, this is a great start.

I did miss the super easy maneuverability of my Tecnifibre TFight 300.
