Viktor Troicki’s Racquet
Viktor Troicki is a player with a big game who can beat pretty much anyone, but lacks the consistency to do it on a regular basis. He endorses the Babolat Pure Aero Plus, but is actually an older model of the Babolat Pure Aero VS strung with a hybrid of Babolat RPM Blast and Babolat […]
Get your racquet strung – Rapid Racquet Repair
I found about out this great racquet service, Rapid Racquet Repair where a Master Racquet Technician strings your racquet and ships it back to you for a good price. I wish we had this service in Europe, because I’m kind of picky with my string jobs, but don’t have the time to string for myself. […]
Tommy Robredo’s Racquet
Tommy Robredo has had a rough couple of years with injuries and inconsistent results. In 2007 he was a top ten player, but he’s currently ranked 438 in the world. Today he plays his first match at Miami Open against Nikoloz Bashilashvili (click the name to learn what racquet Bashilashvili uses). What racquet will Robredo bring to […]
Yoshihito Nishioka’s Racquet
The Japanese 21-year-old Yoshihito Nishioka stood for possibly the biggest upset in this year’s edition of Indian Wells so far (on par with Pospisil beating Murray?) when he defeated Tomas Berdych 1-6 7-6 6-4 in a thriller of a tennis match. Nishioka is one of the shorter players on the tour with his 1.73 meters above […]
Malek Jaziri’s Racquet
Tunisian tennis pro Malek Jaziri has an explosive tennis game with big power on both wings. He has now moved on to the third round in Indian Wells after beating Nicolas Mahut and Marcel Granollers. What racquet does Jaziri play with? Jaziri uses a Prince Tour Pro 100 in 18×20 string pattern strung with a Solinco Hyper-G […]
Pospisil Beats Murray in Indian Wells
Vasek Pospisil is a promising Canadian 26-year-old whose career has been bumpy due to injuries and inconsistent results, but people who have seen him play knows he has the game to beat pretty much anyone. Yesterday he showed that to everyone when he beat current world number one Andy Murray in Indian Wells 6-4 7-6. […]
Great Racquet Buying Guide
Here’s a great racquet buying guide from Tennis Express on buying a racquet. I’ve also written extensively on the subject since I’m addicted to buying racquets. Yes, I might as well come out and say it – it’s kind of an addiction and I have tested hundreds of racquets over the years. Below you’ll find some of […]
Noah Rubin’s Racquet
Another young, big-hitting American is Noah Rubin. He runs fast and swings fast, but is maybe not the most versatile tennis player in the world (yet). He uses a Head Instinct pro stock mould with the pro stock code TGT 297.1 strung with the ever-popular Solinco Hyper-G 16L. I’m unsure about the exact specs in terms […]
How to cure racquet buying addiction
This post says “How to cure racquet buying addiction“, but I must admit it is a bit click-baity for you racquetholics, because I haven’t found the cure! It’s just too much fun to try new frames and when you can sell them second hand to other racquetholics, it doesn’t hurt your wallet as much as […]
Pablo Cuevas Racquet
Pablo Cuevas has a complete game that is happiest on a clay court. Actually all his five ATP World Tour titles has been won on a clay court and two of them in Sao Paolo. Today he has the chance to win the third Sao Paolo title in a row, playing Albert Ramos (who is […]
