Tecnifibre TF-X1 Review
Today Tecnifibre announced the Tecnifibre TF-X1, a new racquet in the comfort category and an interesting competitor to the Wilson Clash. I often talk about the importance of adding more comfort-oriented racquets to the market. Some brands, like ProKennex and Donnay, build their whole brand around arm comfort. HEAD offer enough racquet lines to cover […]
My Wilson Custom Tennis Racquets have arrived
I’m generally always happy when the mailman rings the door. Today I received my Wilson Custom tennis racquets and they look great. Around 6 weeks back I designed a bunch of different Wilson Custom tennis racquets and asked my followers/subscribers to choose. In the end, this is what they chose, a Sweden (or Boca Juniors) […]
Prince Phantom 100G LB Review
It’s been a loooong time coming this Prince Phantom 100G LB Review. I’ve been pretty busy and I also found it quite difficult to get used to. You got to give it to Prince. They keep producing racquets that most other brands would say: “there is not much of an audience for this one, let’s […]
What does the dampener do?
Do you use a dampener or not? It’s a personal taste thing. But what does the dampener do? Here’s a new vlog about this topic. I have always been a dampener guy, because, with certain strings, I don’t enjoy the sound of playing without it. I prefer the “TWHOCK” over the “PIIIING”. But that’s mainly what […]
Karolina Pliskova’s Racquet
I got a few questions about Karolina Pliskova’s racquet. It doesn’t look like the most recent Pure Drive so what is it? Karolina Pliskova’s racquet is most likely what she has used since her junior days. An older version of the Babolat Pure Drive. Going back in time, you can see pictures of her using […]
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter, yeah you read it. He had a Twitter convo with Brad Gilbert about his racquet setup. That’s why we love Andy Murray, right? He doesn’t shy away from taking his opinions or emotions publicly, which is endearing to me. The topic is timely, because it’s obvious that he […]

Updated 6 July 2026Grigor Dimitrov, the most successful Bulgarian tennis player in history, and known for his stylish, all-court game and signature one-handed backhand. But what racquet is he using?

Prince Vortex Review
I have had the fortune to start early on this Prince Vortex review. I have been playing with this racquet for a few months already. The Prince Vortex doesn’t quite look like other racquets. The extended bridge design for elongated main strings (to improve spin) looks like something out of the Marvel universe, the different […]
The Best Racquets for the One-Handed Backhand
Here are the Best Racquets for the One-Handed Backhand and the characteristics that make them work well for that shot. I got a question on YouTube about listing the best racquets for the one-handed backhand and I like to listen to my readers/subscribers and hope to create the kind of content you want to read/see. […]
