Yonex VCORE 95 Racquet Review – Full review
I have been playing with the yonex VCORE 95 now for a couple of weeks and feel ready to write and publish the Yonex VCORE 95 racquet review. This is a control-oriented racquet with a more modern feel. It cannot really be compared to more old-school 95 sq inch frames. What strikes me with this […]
Ernests Gulbis tennis racquet
What is Ernests Gulbis tennis racquet? This post will answer that.

I spent a few days in Marbella last week and had the good fortune to spend some time with Nikki Roenn from Unstrung Customs. Unstrung Customs handles racquet customization and stringing for pro players, but also does unique paint jobs for all kinds of tennis players. Unstrung customs started in May 2016 by three people, […]
New Babolat Pure Aero Specs and Preview
The reviews are in for the new Babolat Pure Aero and they are mainly positive. I haven’t been able to get my hands on one yet, but I am curious how it performs. They have reduced the stiffness of this one and tried to increase the spin even more. Is that a good thing? So […]
