1. Compare the same V3 family at the same grip size
At Wilson Australia’s checked grip 2 listings, Clash 100 V3 (SKU WR172811U2) costs A$419.95 and Clash 100L V3 (SKU WR172911U2) costs A$399.95. The 100L is A$20 less and its published unstrung mass is 280 g rather than 295 g, a 15 g difference. Both are V3 frames with a 100 sq in head, 27 in length and 16 × 19 string pattern. This comparison keeps generation and grip constant instead of mixing a current V3 with an older or differently sized frame.
The figures are manufacturer specifications and public variant prices checked on 30 October 2026. We did not weigh or play with either racket. A 15 g static-mass difference alone does not predict swingweight, power, comfort, injury risk or which racket will suit a particular player. The first illustration is generic and does not show either Wilson model.
| Exact option | Base listing | Head / length / pattern | Unstrung / strung mass | Unstrung balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clash 100 V3 WR172811U2 | A$419.95 | 100 sq in / 27 in / 16 × 19 | 295 g / 310 g | 31 cm |
| Clash 100L V3 WR172911U2 | A$399.95 | 100 sq in / 27 in / 16 × 19 | 280 g / 295 g | 31.5 cm |

2. The lower mass changes one decision, not every playing outcome
If your comparison is specifically between grip 2 V3 frames and you want the lower published unstrung mass, the 100L is the lighter listed choice. If you prefer the 295 g specification, the standard Clash 100 V3 is the corresponding model. Both share the cited head size, length and pattern; these shared figures do not make their balance or playing behaviour identical.
Wilson lists 31 cm unstrung balance for the Clash 100 V3 and 31.5 cm for the 100L. These are two manufacturer figures, not our measured swingweight or a fit recommendation. Ask for an actual demo when feel matters. Do not choose solely by the word “light” or by the unbranded racquets in the illustration.
3. Check the exact grip variant, not just the model headline
Both grip 2 variants showed available in the public product data at the check. Wilson lists grips 2, 3 and 4 for Clash 100 V3, and grips 1, 2 and 3 for 100L V3. The 100L grip 3 variant was marked unavailable in that snapshot, even though the size is shown as a selectable family option. Availability can change before checkout.
Read the exact grip number and SKU on the selected variant. If you need grip 3 on the 100L, do not treat the grip 2 price or “available” flag as proof that your required size can ship. Check the live product page or ask Wilson for a restock path; avoid changing grip size simply to match a promotion.
4. “Frame only” and stringing are different purchases
Both pages offer “Unstrung (frame only)” and separate stringing choices. A base variant price is therefore not a complete playable, delivered and configured racket total. The standard Clash 100 V3 page shows a recommended-string option at +A$39.95 at the check; the 100L page offers choices with varying prices. Confirm the selected string, tension and all checkout charges for each actual option before comparing totals.
Wilson states orders with racket stringing ship in 3–5 business days. Its pages also state a special cancellation/return condition for custom-strung rackets; check the exact policy before submitting that configuration. We do not make a legal determination about statutory rights. The second image only illustrates a generic frame and loose string; it is not a Wilson stringing procedure or product photograph.
5. Make the choice with the actual configuration in hand
Example: a buyer who needs grip 2 and plans to arrange stringing separately can compare the two frame-only listings directly: 100L is 15 g lighter on the manufacturer’s unstrung specification and A$20 cheaper at the observed base price. If the buyer needs grip 3 on the 100L, the observed unavailable flag changes the next action to a live stock check. If either buyer selects Wilson stringing, the configured price and dispatch timing must be checked again.
Open both official pages, choose the same actual grip, select frame only or the intended stringing on each, and compare the checkout totals and delivery terms for your address. If swing feel is the decisive condition, use a retailer demo. Keep the older Blade comparison separate: it answers a different model-family question.
