Solinco Blackout 300 XTD V2 Camo

Solinco has built its competitive reputation quietly — a brand that doesn't spend heavily on tour marketing but earns credibility through the playing community and the string category where it dominates. The Blackout V2 300 XTD extends the standard 300 frame to 27.5 inches — half an inch longer than conventional. That extra length translates directly into leverage on the serve and more reach on wide groundstrokes, at the cost of slightly reduced maneuverability in tight net exchanges. For baseline-dominant players, that trade is straightforward.

The 100 sq in head and carbon construction remain consistent with the standard 300, and the Camo finish carries forward the V2 visual identity. The XTD spec is a specialist choice — it suits players who have tested extended-length frames and understand the adjustment in stroke timing that comes with the format.

An advanced option for competitive players who prioritize serve leverage and reach, and have the technique to manage the slightly different feel an extended frame requires.
