What players say

Liked 4 sources

Reviewers treat this as a rare combination: an extended-length frame with a dense 18x20 pattern that still hits like a control stick, not just a power stick. Testers across Tennis Warehouse's playtest team, Tennisnerd, and Talk Tennis forum members praise the plowthrough, precise targeting, and plush feel compared to the 16x19 Whiteout, with the main tradeoffs being reduced spin on serve and an adjustment period on close-in or reflex shots because of the extra length.

Best for

Baseline aggressors who want plowthrough with control
One-handed backhand and net players wanting reach and touch
Big servers who want extra leverage
Players moving up from heavier, more flexible frames

Pros

Rare extended-length plus 18x20 combo gives plowthrough without feeling like a pure power frame
Dense string pattern delivers precise targeting, letting players swing big with confidence
Plusher, more connected feel than the standard 16x19 Whiteout
Extra length adds easy pace and downward angle on serves
Slice backhand and net touch praised for feel and stability

Cons

Extended length makes reflex volleys and close-in balls awkward to handle
Noticeably less spin bite on serve than the 16x19 version
Some testers wanted more weight in the tip for added stability
Niche frame with a learning curve, particularly for timing the forehand at first
