Interested in the latest versions? Check our review for the 2025 Yonex Ezone 100. —– The Yonex Ezone 100 2022 is here and it’s packed with power. If you want a racquet that is easy to generate depth with, look no further. I strung my Yonex Ezone 100 2022 with a hybrid of Yonex Poly […]
Tomic is back
Bernard Tomic is a talented but controversial tennis player. He is particularly known for tanking. After years of lacklustre performances, Tomic is back. Tomic has won four titles and reached 17 in the world in 2016. In 2021, he had a 1-1 win/loss record and was only featured in the headlines for dating a Vanessa […]
What is the difference between multifilament and poly strings?
The amount of strings on the market can be mindboggling. What is the difference between multifilament and poly strings? Since the polyester string was introduced a few years before the millenium (most famously it brought Guga Kuerten to French Open victory in 1997), tennis has not been the same. Suddenly players could swing fast and […]
Pros and cons of playing with LOW tensions
You might have seen my video of Adrian Mannarino using 12 kg/24 lbs string tension. What are the pros and cons of playing with low tensions? Low tensions are on the rise (pun intended). We see the average tension of the top 500 ATP players dropping to around 44 lbs or 20 kg. This does […]
Denis Shapovalov using the Yonex Ezone 98
The Mubadala warm-up tournament in Abu Dhabi is where we can see pro players experiment with racquets. But Denis Shapovalov using the Ezone 98? It seems unlikely based on his history with the Yonex VCORE 95 (“Shapo” is using the SV 95 version). If you’re interested in the various different VCORE 95s, you can check […]

The Best Racquets of 2021
UPDATE: if you want updated content on the best racquets, check our list of the best tennis racquets. ——- I have worked on my list for the gear of the year and finally reached my conclusion on the best racquets of 2021. When I write “The best racquets of 2021”, I obviously don’t talk about […]
Andy Murray testing a new racquet again
It’s the off-season and that’s when pro players experiment. I’m not surprised to see Andy Murray testing a new racquet again. I’ve written many times about Murray’s racquets and even suggested that it might be time to look for something new. Andy seems to be a cool guy and a real tennis nerd and I […]
HEAD Lynx Touch – Interview with Dennis Fabian
Lynx Touch is a new string from HEAD that arrives in mid-January 2022. I talked to the man behind it, Dennis Fabian, about the string and lots more! This is the second time Dennis joins the Tennisnerd podcast. Last time we talked about Lynx Tour and a bunch of other topics and the same happened this […]
The lowest string tension on tour?
Is Adrian Mannarino playing with the lowest string tension on tour? It does seem to work very well for him though. I had the fortune to watch Adrian Mannarino’s practice session with local top player Matthew Asciak today. I also talked to Mannarino about his equipment, injuries and other tennis things. Some of it is […]
