Prince Twistpower X100 Review
It started badly, but in the end, I really enjoyed this Prince Twistpower X100 Review. An excellent tweener! I’ve been asked about this Prince Twistpower X100 review many times since they announced this racquet some time ago. Tennis Warehouse reviewed it in October 2020, so I guess you can say I was a bit behind […]
Grigor Dimitrov on TopCourt
I’ve been waiting for some one-handed backhand instruction on the TopCourt platform so I was thrilled to see Grigor Dimitrov on TopCourt! I have enjoyed the TopCourt platform since I became a member a year or so ago, but as I mentioned in my TopCourt Review, there was no proper one-handed backhand player on the […]

Many good things can be said about the playability of a premium brand such as Luxilon strings (made in Belgium) and I regularly […]

What tennis balls should you use?
I’ve gotten some requests to talk about what tennis balls you should use. I have ordered a variety of different tennis balls to get going. There are different things to consider when you consider the question of “what tennis balls should you use?” My number one tip is to not go for the cheapest possible […]
Pickleball or Tennis?
Pickleball or tennis is obviously a rhetorical question. Of course, you pick tennis! But pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the US. Should tennis players be worried? Maybe. I’ve heard and seen data suggesting that tennis balls are being replaced by pickleball courts in the US. The sport is growing faster than any other sport […]

Wilson went environmentally friendly in 2019 with the Wilson Triniti balls. Now they launch the heavy-duty Wilson Triniti Pro. Tennisnerd contributor and racquet tester extraordinaire, Henrik Wallensten, reviewed the first Wilson Triniti ball here.
