With the 2025 new season well underway, Tennishead gives you the ultimate round-up of the latest snazzy tennis racket releases to hit the park, tennis clubs and show courts.
Wilson Clash V3
The club friendly comfort racket popular with the masses returns bigger and better with their new ‘SI3D’ technology enabling the frame to uniquely bend in three different ways enhancing stability and flexibility.
Key points where the Clash V3 bends have been smoothed out, in turn boosting racket response. Wilson also state their ‘Hit Stabilizer’ tech helps players keep the ball in play more consistently and is engineered to enhance off-centre hitting.

Wilson have finished off the clean frame in a silky graphite black with infrared accents (which is a nice little nod to their successful 2019 breakthrough model).

Babolat Pure Drive
History is in the making is here with the 11th generation Pure Drive from Babolat. This racket has been on court since the mid 90’s and is a popular choice for pro players right the way through to club players.
No stranger to the modern game and it’s iconic ‘blue steel’ tones now fused with a subtle red drop shadow, the new model retains all the qualities of power, feel and versatility but now softens up with more comfort than ever before.

An adaptive ‘Woofer 2.0’ grommet system (in the lighter range) has been redesigned which according the French company “increases the contact time between ball and string amplifying energy restitution”.
Those seeking more precision and control will find the 98 sq in choice, right up their street with a 16×20 string pattern. The beam has also been reshaped and squared at 2 and 9 o’clock for stability.
Babolat’s ‘NF2-TECH 2.0’ dampening system has been livened up with natural flax fibres in the throat to filter out vibrations and ‘increase sensation and feel at impact’.

Power players and fans of the favoured eZone welcome a new update endorsed by pro players Nick Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka to name a few.

The beam has been widened at the top which improves power and response. This fresh model also includes an extended tapered inner frame optimising ball pocketing and flex with a softer feel.
Tucked between the graphite plates of the shaft is a unique ‘Minolon’ material … weirdly being threads spun by minomushi bagworms! These ultra fine strands create a “soft and smooth net like structure for a plusher feel”. Who knew!?

Tecnifbre T-Fight
The new line as used by Daniel Medvedev and Iga Swiatek has a cleaner cut 2025 image and we are not just talking about the super minimalistic cosmetic with redesigned tricolour stripes.

Dunlop SX300
Known for it’s big spin window in the SX series, Dunlop have tinkered ever so slightly with the static specs (compared to their previous release in 2022).
However, there’s a major makeover, where the yellow and black colour way have been stripped back making way for a very attractive teal running top from handle to part off the hoop section.
So what’s new on the tech side? ‘Spin Boost XT grommets’ generate a more forgiving feel, a larger sweet spot and bite on the ball. Dunlop has also unveiled ’Spin Boost Frame Geometry’ for an increase in stability and power.

The brand present ‘Vibroshield’ a new dampening technology. Ambassador Partick Mouratoglou explains “the racket absorbs the vibrations really really well, which makes it super comfortable to play”
The geometry of the new SX300 frame is really at the heart of the matter with a fresh mold and increase in stiffness enabling more power, whilst the extra width across the face of the frame improves the steadiness of the racket.
Available from Dunlop – Price: £159.90-£178.90
And finally a new one for many of you, making a comeback in 2025…
Mantis PS 300
Launched over 20 years ago and now in the midst of being reinvigorated by new owners, the Mantis PS series is a spin and power focussed frame that’s specifically designed (and priced) to appeal to ‘committed amateurs’. You won’t see this brand sponsoring tour players as they say they are dedicated to making high quality rackets at reasonable prices and don’t want to have to artificially increase their prices to pay for sponsorships.
The PS 300 features a hand-made carbon fibre frame with a 100 sq in head and comes in at 300 gram unstrung. What’s different about the new Mantis is that every racket they launch will have two different colourways to choose from. This hasn’t been done before so Mantis are putting themselves out by offering two versions of exactly the same frame, one more classic look and the other much brighter, both incorporating their new logo and brand colours.
Currently only available on pre-order the new frames drop on 1st June but you can reserve yours for a 5% deposit.
Available directly from MantisSport.com – Price £165 unstrung or £182.50 if you want the Mantis UK-based stringer to add some Mantis strings at your own choice of tension.
