My friend and fellow tennis nerd, Henrik Wallensten, is back with his first impressions about the new Yonex VCORE racquets – both 98 and 100. Word over to Henrik! Ps. I also look forward to play-testing the new Yonex VCORE racquets. They should be on their way, so I will keep you posted. If you […]
Wilson Burn 100 V4 Review
I was never a fan of the Burn line. They always felt pretty stiff and unresponsive to me. But this Wilson Burn 100 V4 review surprised me. I play-test and review a lot of racquets every year. And many of them are in a similar spec range since the standard club player racquet has become […]
Wilson Blade Pro Review
A lot of people have asked about this, so I prioritized it :) Here is my Wilson Blade Pro review. Is it the H22? Yes, it is the H22 mold. But it does feel a bit stiffer than the H22 pro stocks I have tried. It’s not at all uncomfortable, but the feel is not […]
Yonex Poly Tour Rev String
I was sent a couple of samples of the new Yonex Poly Tour Rev string. It’s firm, bright-orange, shaped, and spin-oriented. I strung up the Yonex Poly Tour Rev string in my Yonex Ezone Tour at 22 kg or 49 lbs and I have hit with it twice. It was easy to install, has a […]
New Yonex VCORE Racquets 2021
The new Yonex VCORE racquets 2021 have been revealed on the Yonex Instagram page. They will be reviewed on Tennisnerd in a near future. I am waiting for demos of the new Yonex VCORE racquets and I will also be testing the new Poly Tour Rev string. My good friend Henrik sent me a few […]
Head Radical 2021 Reveal
The HEAD Radical 2021 is revealed and it’s pretty orange. Pretty? Well, orange. Not as hot as the prototype, but… Readers of Tennisnerd know that I enjoyed both the visual and the playability aspect of the HEAD Radical 2021 prototypes. The new Radical design was revealed today to be a lot more orange than the […]
Interview with Andreas Bergen, Global Product Manager of Luxilon Strings
I had the good fortune to chat with Andreas Bergen, Global Product Manager of Luxilon Strings. We talk about strings, tensions, and a whole lot more. Andreas test strings and develop products for Luxilon strings. He has a broad role and in 2019 he had 120 tennis-related travel days. Luxilon is one of the legends […]
Wilson Racquets Preview: Blade Pro, Blade 102 SW, Burn 100
Here is a new Wilson racquets preview. It covers the Blade Pro, Blade 102 SW Autograph and Burn 100 V4, and Clash 100 Pro. I will be reviewing these racquets one by one, likely starting with the Blade Pro, as that is the one most people ask about. I have already done a preview post […]
Interview with Roman Prokes
I recently talked to a legend in racquet customization. He worked with Agassi for a long time and changed Novak’s racquet into what it is today. Here is my interview with Roman Prokes. You are one of the true legends of racquet customization. Do you ever get bored with your job? No, I don’t even […]
Lacoste L20 Racquet Review
Lacoste is not a brand you associate with tennis racquets these days. But now they have released a racquet called Lacoste L20. The Lacoste L20 is a racquet created together with Tecnifibre. Lacoste acquired Tecnifibre in 2017 and is now influencing the design of the racquets as you might have seen with the predominantly white-red-blue […]
