RR ScoreUpdated on 2026-10-03
Version · 10 optionsWhiteout 290 V1Change

The first Whiteout 290 takes the straight 21.7 mm beam and the 98 in² head of the Whiteout 305 to a lighter version. It weighs 290 g unstrung and 303 g strung, has a 16x19 pattern, a 325 mm unstrung balance and a swingweight of 314. The 67 RA stiffness and the Liquid Crystal Technology in the laminate give a firm, precise response, with controlled vibration. It is a control racquet that is easy to handle, with enough power to close out points.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
