Carlos Moya’s tennis racquet
Spaniard ex-world number one Carlos Moya has been confirmed to join Rafael Nadal’s team for the 2017 season. Exciting stuff! This means Nadal is jumping of the bandwagon of pro players adding legendary players to their coaching staff (Federer and Edberg, Djokovic and Becker, Murray and Lendl and so on). Since they’re already quite close […]
Snauwaert back in business
The Belgian tennis manufacturer Snauwaert is back in business with new racquets, strings and balls and I’m ready to take both the Grinta 98 and the Vitas 100 tennis racquets to the court in a play-test.

Racquet review: Wilson Blade with Countervail
One of the most popular racquets among promising juniors and more advanced players of late has been the Wilson Blade series. Wilson has managed to find that nice blend between control and power in a racquet that is relatively easy to play with but also not too harsh on your arm, which could be the […]
Babolat VS Touch Natural Gut Review
I had heard so many good things about pairing my Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltds (16×19 string pattern) with natural gut mains and poly string in the crosses that I simply had to try it. My usual setup is with my favourite poly string Solinco Hyper-G 16L at 22 kg, but if you’re a gear […]
