Best Tennis Racquets for Women in 2026
I often get asked about racquet recommendations specifically for women, and honestly, it’s a question that requires a bit of nuance. Here’s the thing: tennis racquets aren’t gendered. The same racquet that works for Paula Badosa can work equally well for a male club player with a similar game style. However, there are clear trends […]
MSV Cyber Wet Overgrip Review: Ultra-Tacky, Comfortable and Seriously Underrated
MSV might not be the flashiest name in tennis gear, but once you try their strings or grips, good luck getting them out of your rotation. Their Cyber Wet Overgrip is a perfect example.

The arrival of the Tecnifibre Fire racquets range marks a strategic shift in the brand’s “Power” silo.

Mantis Tour Polyester 1.27 Review – A Go-To Poly for String Breakers
Mantis Tour Polyester 1.27 is one of those strings I find myself recommending over and over, especially to the chronic string breakers, many of whom now won’t use anything else. Mantis isn’t the loudest or trendiest name in tennis, but quietly, they make some seriously good performance strings, and Tour Polyester is a perfect example […]
HighString Snap Green Review – Spin-First Control With Serious Stability
HighString Snap Green is a shaped co-poly that knows what it wants to be: a string that’s spin first, and leans toward control, and holds tension well.. This poly does not have “soft-feel, elastic pocketing.” Snap plays firmer, more intentionally, and more structured, but it does so with a level of consistency and stability that […]

While awaiting his upcoming bid in Doha, Jannik Sinner has detoured into the Italian Alps to unveil a one-of-one performance look created by Nike Atelier.

When it comes to overgrips, I’m usually a bit sceptical. Most of them do more or less the same job, and once you’ve found one that feels right in your hand, you don’t have much reason to wander. That said, HEAD Pro Overgrip is the one I keep coming back to every summer especially when […]
