Yonex VCORE 98 Racquet Review
Yonex has simplified their names and replaced the VCORE Spin Vortex (SV) series with just “VCORE”. This means the new Yonex VCORE 98 is both easy to remember and easy to play with. What else does it do well? Read the Yonex VCORE 98 Racquet review and find out. The Yonex SV series had its […]
Buying a tennis racquet: Comfort vs Power
I wanted to spend some time on a common but important topic when you are interested in buying a tennis racquet: comfort vs power. It is easy to fall into the typical marketing jargon and be excited about getting more power on your shots. Sometimes this will result in injuries. Powerful racquets often mean stiff […]
Tecnifibre Tflash 300 Powerstab Racquet Review
It was high time for me to do a Tecnifibre Tflash 300 Powerstab racquet review. After all, this racquet has been out for about a year, and is the racquet of choice for long-time Tennis Warehouse play-tester, Chris Edwards. Looking at the specs, there is nothing out of the ordinary with the Tecnifibre Tflash 300 […]

HEAD Graphene Touch Radical Limited Edition
I watched Taylor Fritz fight hard to win a five-setter against Mischa Zverev at the US Open and I could not help but notice his tennis racquet. Fritz is using an older HEAD racquet with the pro stock code 260.3, but the paint job at the US Open is likely a HEAD Graphene Touch Radical […]
Federer is practicing with his old racquet at the US Open
This might be seen as nonsense news to many of you, but it is always fun to speculate before the last Grand Slam of the year. After losing a poor final to Djokovic in Cincinnati, Federer is practicing with his old racquet (paint job) at the US Open. Why? A nice video of Federer practising […]
Pro player tennis shoes – not what you think
I have written plenty about pro player racquets, which often are painted to look like the latest racquet you would find in the store, but I have not really touched upon pro player shoes. The same thing applies to pro player tennis shoes, but not quite to the same extent as pro stock racquets. Pro […]

Simone Bolelli’s Tennis Racquet
Simone Bolelli is a flashy Italian player with excellent technique. He plays amazing tennis when he is in good form, but struggles to maintain a consistently high level. But what is Simone Bolelli’s tennis racquet? Simone Bolelli endorses the Babolat Pure Aero VS Tour but probably uses a previous (quite popular among ATP pros) Aero […]
