This racquet's combination of power, accuracy and plow-through make it dangerous in the hands of aggressive baseliners

Solinco adds an extended length version of the Whiteout 305. Named the Whiteout 305 XTD, this racquet combines the control of a 98in² head and 21.7mm beam with the extra power and spin that comes from an extended 27.5" length. It also packs a meaty 330+ swingweight, making it great for redirecting higher levels of pace or driving the ball through the court. Technologies include 40T Carbon Fiber at 3/9 o'clock, resulting in a larger sweetspot along with a more stable feel on off-center impact. In addition to 21.7mm flat beam, Solinco adds Liquid Crystal Technology to layup in order to reduce hash vibrations and lighten the load on your tendons. The Whiteout 305 XTD also benefits from Foam Technology in the head, giving it a more solid, dampened and stable feel. On the court full swings deliver easy targeting and impressive knock-out power. It's also dangerous on serves. Recommended to experienced players looking for a surgical player's racquet with a high power-potential.

What happened to the 28 incher?This past year, I got two Whiteout XTD 28's. In the past 40 years, they're the best racquets I've ever used. They don't show them for sale at TW. I had to order them directly from Solinco. Where'd they go?

Solid Racquet with Control and PowerI was a Yonex user for a while and switched over due to wanting to try the XTD. I know Yonex has extended options too but I never tried theirs. I really enjoyed at first the 18x20 XTD but later realized I can get more power with the regular XTD with similar control. I will say the sweet spot is small on the Whiteout but if you play regularly not much of an issue. It is a 98" frame after all. After a couple of weeks playing with the XTD, you will not notice it is an extended length racquet. Volleys might be an issue, but reaching for balls can also be a benefit. Recommend for 4.0 and up.

Good blend of spin, control, powerThink of this as the 98 sq in version of the Head Speed MP, plus a bit of stiffness. I play with a Speed MP that I extended by 0.5", and an Aero Plus. It's got a bit of both: the stiffness of the Aero but the open pattern of the Speed. The hoop is actually wider by 2-3mm than the 100 sq in Speed, though of course not as long. The string pattern is virtually identical to that of the Speed, with the top string crossing only 12 mains (not 14 as in the tighter-spaced Aero), so it's very vertically open-patterned. Very good access to spin, topspin and slice, serve or groundstrokes. Great power for a 98, but not overpowered. Serves bombs and wicked spin. No real downsides, by the standards of extended rackets. If you are looking for cons, they would be: quite stiff (but use gut or syngut mains, and you'll be fine); not as controlled as tighter-patterned rackets (but by no means wild, and you get easier access to spin, that's the tradeoff); not as maneuverable at the net as standard rackets (but that's the tradeoff for the extra power and reach). Overall, this is a weapon for advanced players. It feels more like a traditional player's racket, where as the extended Yonex 98s have a more modern feel. Compare to the old CX200+ or the modern Ezone 98 Plus and VCore Plus, but I prefer this Solinco.

Great serving racquetI'm a 4.0 baseliner who plays the Yonex 330 Duel G. This is a great stick. Bombing big serves is very, very easy. The one and only negative: too stiff and crisp for my tendons, so I will have to pass on this racquet to replace my now too demanding Duel G.

magic!The demo was magic for me. A hair off the specs of my Dunlop CX200+, but a good bit more maneuverable and a lot more forgiving. Didn't realize at the time, but demo was strung with a TW string that is similar to Head Lynx Tour. I initially strung the new racket with HyperG which that combo was really soft with an inconsistent response. Went to the Lynx Tour and immediately found the magic again. My opinion based on that scenario is that this racket needs a string to reign it in for control, but the stick will absorb a lot of the stiff string shock, all while allowing you to get reasonable power out of that stiff string. Magic! FWIW I'm an older 4.5/5.0 baseliner.
