The New Blackout v2
The new Solinco Blackout v2 is a racquet built on proven technologies. The latest Blackout update is all about refinement — enhancing comfort and stability while preserving its signature spin and power DNA.
Similar to the prior version, the new Blackout v2 comes in a light weight 285g model targeted at intermediate or spin-oriented players who want easier handling, a 300g “core” model for players looking for a balanced baseline option, or the 27.5 inch XTD model that delivers greater power from extended leverage.
The upgraded v2 introduces several new or refined technologies (some carried over) designed to improve feel, stability, and responsiveness:
Foam Tech Core - The racket head is filled with an optimally formulated PU density foam (polyurethane) that Dampens vibration, gives a smooth fee and reduces harshness.
Arch-2 Construction - A new carbon fiber layup / architecture that strengthens the frame under load, helping it stay composed on powerful swings.
Liquid Crystal Fibers - These fibers remain in the construction (from prior Blackout) to help optimize flex and dampen shock.
40T Hi-Mod Carbon (at 3 & 9 o’clock) - By reinforcing the mid-hoop region, the frame is more stable on off-center impacts, enlarges the sweet spot and boosts stability.
Power Flex Zone / Strategic Beam Height - Maximum beam is placed near 5 and 7 o’clock positions, helping the hoop flex in a beneficial way and return energy.
