What players say
Playtesters describe the standard Whiteout 305 (16x19, 27in, 323g strung, 4pts head light) as a firm-feeling, versatile control frame that maneuvers like a Wilson Blade 98 but adds more pop. Reviewers found it easy to generate topspin, comfortable, and stable enough for a 305g frame, with only minor gripes about early-on power control and a wish for slightly more flex.
Best for
- Intermediate to advanced all-court players
- Players who want Blade-like maneuverability with more pop
- Topspin-heavy groundstrokers
- Players moving up from a lighter frame
Pros
- Firm but muted, comfortable feel with a forgiving sweetspot
- Easy access to topspin from the open 16x19 pattern
- Good serve and volley feel with a connected, solid response
- Maneuverable for its swingweight, compared favorably to the Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v8
- Decent stability against pace despite the sub-320g unstrung weight
Cons
- Power and launch angle took some tuning (one tester needed higher string tension to dial it in)
- One tester wanted a slightly more flexible layup
- Not the most stable frame against the heaviest hitters compared to heavier control sticks
Voices
— Michelle, Web
My first time out on court, I appreciated the firm yet muted feel and the forgiving sweetspot.
— Sage, Web
It's a comfortable and solid frame. I could feel its mass come through the ball during my swing.
— Troy, Web
My initial impression when hitting groundstrokes was that this racquet maneuvered very similarly to the Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v8.
— Mark, Web
The ball dwelled on the stringbed for what felt like a long time, allowing for a high percentage of my groundstrokes to land exactly where they were intended.
— Sage, Web
Serving with the Whiteout 305 was a pleasure. I loved how big I could hit without having to open my targets.
— Troy, Web
I would prefer a slightly more flexible frame.
