Babolat Pure Strike 98 Gen 3 Racquet Review
The third generation of the Babolat Pure Strike has been out for a while, but I have not gotten around to reviewing the 98, 16×19 version until now.

HEAD Pro Tour 2.0 Racquet Review
A while back I gave my first impressions about this long-awaited frame. Now it is time for the complete HEAD Pro Tour 2.0 Racquet Review. The HEAD Pro Tour 2.0 is the comeback of a classic. It has the same design as the original, but a stiffer layup. It also lacks Twaron, a material that […]

David Nalbandian’s Racquet
David Nalbandian is one of my favorite players to watch. He hit the ball heavy and clean and had the game to beat anyone. But what is Nalbandian’s racquet? David Nalbandian retired in 2013 and can now be seen more on the amateur rally circuit and with a padel racquet in his hand. His highest […]
