The new Whiteout has increased power and stability

When Solinco set out to make its premiere Whiteout racquet, it had an accomplished audience in mind: players with fast swings and sound technique who can generate more of their own power. That’s why its 98 square-inch head size and thin, constant 21.7mm beam offers good control, ball connection, and all-court capabilities. It also comes in a variety of weights, lengths and string patterns to appeal to the widest range of players.

For the second installment of the franchise, the major enhancement to the frame’s performance is Arch-2 Construction. It’s a new carbon fiber layup designed to enhance power, stability and responsiveness. It also broadens the sweet spot which helps with control on off-center hits. So applying more force to shots takes less effort, while the racquet’s precision and overall versatility are improved.

The Arch-2 update joins the technologies from the previous version, which include:

  • Foam Tech Core: PU density foam in the racquet head to reduce vibration and amplify feel.
  • 40T Carbon Fiber: Stiff carbon fibers placed at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions provide stability and enlarge the sweet spot.
  • Liquid Crystal Technology: Liquid crystal fibers optimize flex and reduce vibration and shock in the handle.
  • Weight Control Module: Interchangeable butt-cap plates allow players to add 5g or 10g to alter the frame’s weight and balance for customized performance.

The other notable change to the Whiteout is its appearance. While the base remains faithful to its name, it’s now covered with a hand-applied tiger camo cosmetic inspired by gaming aesthetics. It’s an audacious look that’s sure to turn heads.

"Our goal was clear: evolve, don’t reinvent," KT Kim, director at Solinco, says. "With the Whiteout V2, we fine-tuned critical elements like stability, feel, and power to ensure this racquet feels like a natural progression from the V1.

"We’re confident it will meet the expectations of our loyal Whiteout players while enticing new wielders to experience the difference."

The Whiteout V2 lineup will launch with three models—305g, 305g extended (27.5 inches) and 290g—each priced at $230. All models will be available at retailers starting Jan. 10.
