Solinco Blackout 300 V2 Review Roundup: Power, Comfort, and Control Perfected
The Solinco Blackout 300 V2 is earning praise across the tennis world for its rare blend of power and comfort. Reviewers agree that the updated frame delivers a more connected, stable feel without sacrificing speed or control. From improved vibration dampening to refined construction, the Blackout V2 continues Solinco’s mission to design high-performance racquets built for real-world play.
“A POWERFUL FRAME WITH A COMFORTABLE, CONNECTED FEEL.”
Brody Taylor: Certified Master Racquet Technician
Brody Taylor, a Master Racquet Technician known for his in-depth equipment breakdowns, praises the Blackout 300 V2 for delivering controllable power with a plush, dampened response. He highlights Solinco’s Power Flex Zone and Liquid Crystal Technology, which help the racquet stay stable through impact while softening vibration.
Taylor points out that the racquet “plays crisp but comfortable,” offering big hitters a forgiving feel without losing the feedback competitive players rely on. For players seeking a balance of power, spin, and comfort, Brody calls the Blackout V2 “a real sleeper hit in the 300-gram category.”
“LOTS OF POWER, BUT IT’S STABLE AND MANAGEABLE.”
Tennis Spin
Harry and Coach Gu from Tennis Spin take the Blackout 300 V2 through its paces in one of their classic live playtests. Their verdict: it’s a racquet built for “players who want to crush the ball without losing control.”
They emphasize how the new construction gives the V2 version “a little more dwell time and feel” compared to the first Blackout, especially on serves and groundstrokes. While the racquet is undeniably powerful, the team notes that it’s also surprisingly whippy and maneuverable at net.
Harry sums it up best: “You can swing big and it won’t over-launch-it’s a fun racquet that rewards confidence.”
“THIS IS A RACQUET THAT CAN STAND UP TO THE BEST IN ITS CLASS.”
TennCom
Beckett Chung and Simon Cuell from TennCom, a channel dedicated to high-level gear analysis, explore how the Blackout V2 stacks up against the competition. They compare it to the Babolat Pure Drive and Head Extreme MP, noting that Solinco’s refinements make it “a serious contender in the power-spin category.”
In their review, they emphasize how the racquet’s Foam Tech Core and improved layup create a more connected feel on contact, with added precision on flatter drives. “It’s got the free power of a Pure Drive,” says Chung, “but with more comfort and stability.”
