Head to Head
The Ultra 108 is the better option in terms of power, with the Clash 108 being the better option in terms of control, spin, and arm friendliness.
If you struggle to hit power on your shots, then the Ultra 108 will be the better option for you.

Player Recommendations
In my opinion, these rackets will best suit a beginner to intermediate tennis player, with the Ultra 108 being the better option for beginners as it offers a little more free power.
Intermediate players will likely prefer the Clash 108 as it offers more control and is more solid at the net.
Advanced tennis players should avoid these rackets as they offer little control and too much power, with Wilson’s Blade 98 and Pro Staff 97 tennis rackets being better options for advanced players.
