An explosively dangerous racket in the hands of aggressive baseliners! Designed with input from seasoned industry technicians and professional players, the Blackout 285 is fast, explosive and powerful. The Blackout 285 is a spin friendly racket with quick handling and a solid feel. Like the heavier Blackout 300, this racquet is defined by its combination of power, spin and accuracy. The 285 swings easier than the Blackout 300, making it great for the rising intermediate player who is looking to play aggressive tennis.
