ATP World Tour Finals Day 1
I mostly write about racquets and strings on this blog, but I can’t really not mention the last tournament of the year – the ATP World Tour Finals. I was lucky to attend last year and get a few moments with Roger Federer after his win against Kei Nishikori in the round robin and I […]
John Isner’s racquet
John Isner might go down in history as the guy who won the longest tennis match ever when he beat Nicolas Mahut 6–4, 3–6, 6–7(7–9), 7–6(7–3), 70–68 in Wimbledon 2010, but besides that amazing feat of serving – he’s won 10 titles and been ranked within the top ten (currently at #19 in the world rankings). […]
Milos Raonic’s Racquet
Milos Raonic is the poster boy for the new Wilson Blade series which include the brand new technology called Countervail. Countervail makes the racquet play softer than it is, which means you can add power without hurting your arm. Tennis Warehouse reviewers talk about a lack of feedback in the new Blade line, but that […]
What racquet does the Bryan Brothers use?
Well, the answer to that question doesn’t need to be hidden behind some hard to get paint job anymore, because Prince is releasing their extended length Prince Ignite 95 in a beautiful new paint job to 999 lucky customers. It is called the Prince Bryan Bros Ltd. Edition 95. It was simply high time for […]
Grigor Dimitrov’s Tennis Racquet
What professional players use and endorse are two different things. Grigor Dimitrov endorses the Wilson Pro Staff 97S, but uses a different racquet. What? Baby Federer. That’s what we used to call him, the stylish Grigor Dimitrov, with strokes that looked eerily similar to the great Swiss champ’s. But along the line and the years, […]
Nick Kyrgios Tennis Racquet
What racquet does Aussie bad-boy Nick Kyrgios play with? He endorses the Yonex Ezone DR 98 but plays with a Yonex Ezone XI 98. Tennis bad-boy Nick Kyrgios has been in the news recently due to his odd behaviour during his Shanghai Masters match against Mischa Zverev, where he pretty evidently tanked through large parts […]
Djoko meltdown, Murray number one?
Andy Murray is playing the game of his life and just qualified for the Shanghai Masters final after winning another encounter, this time against Gilles Simon, in straight sets. He might also be edging closer to becoming the world’s top-ranked player soon, because the current world number one, Novak Djokovic, has just returned from elbow […]
Yonex VCORE SV series
It’s racquet releasing season and besides the big kaboom launch of the hyped Project One 7, that became the new Babolat Pure Strike we have Wilson launching a new series of Blades with Countervail technology and Yonex adding SV to their VCORE series. There is so much jargon in the tennis racquet making community, so many […]
Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd
So. The racquetaholic never sleeps. That’s why I have two new frames to test out at home: the Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd. The model itself is not new, but from 2013 and the specs make a lot of racquet fans drool with its customizable weight, silicone already injected in the handle and low stiffness […]
Babolat Pure Drive Original (1st edition)
Got a great and very rare first edition Babolat Pure Drive Original for sale (pre-woofer). It’s softer, more spin-friendly and still has that powerful Pure Drive style. Hardly used and strung recently with Solinco Hyper-G. A brilliant combo. Babolat Pure Drive Original (very rare, soft and spin-friendly!) As used by Fognini, Marc Lopez and Carlos […]
