Leonardo Mayer’s Racquet
Argentinian ATP player Leonardo Mayer was in the spotlight again after a tough season yesterday when he beat top-seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas in Hamburg. What racquet does he use? Mayer’s season has so far been in stark contrast to for example 2015 when he was as high as number 21 in the world, but he can […]
Racquet Collections
The other day I got some messages on my Facebook page from racquet collector West Loh around Nick Kyrgios‘ and Jordan Thompson’s racquet specs. The conversation led to him sending some great pics of his impressive racquet collection, which I felt I had to post here. Tennis racquets are a beautiful thing and I know […]

Angell Tennis Racquets – TC 97 Custom

Custom Paint Jobs – Please Send Yours
Yesterday I was contacted by Alex Celanzi who was wondering about Dominic Thiem’s racquet specs for his old Babolat Pure Strike. Then he sent me pics of his Pure Strike with a custom paint job (which I simply had to share with you). Custom paint jobs are a great way to give your racquets a personal […]
Wilson Ultra with Countervail
It’s soon time for Wilson to release the Countervail edition of their Wilson Ultra series (you know, the blue one) and speculations are afoot on the forums whether the Wilson Ultra Tour will be a H19. So what is a H19 and why am I writing this gibberish? The H19 is Wilson’s copy of the […]

Bernard Tomic Without Racquet Sponsor
I previously wrote about Bernard Tomic’s controversial press conference and him being fined 15 000 USD by Wimbledon. Now his racquet sponsor, HEAD, has stopped their sponsorship. Has the consequences of Bernard Tomic’s press conference where he said he was bored of tennis and alluded to playing ten more years just for the money gone too […]
