Grigor Dimitrov’s Tennis Racquet
What professional players use and endorse are two different things. Grigor Dimitrov endorses the Wilson Pro Staff 97S, but uses a different racquet. What? Baby Federer. That’s what we used to call him, the stylish Grigor Dimitrov, with strokes that looked eerily similar to the great Swiss champ’s. But along the line and the years, […]
Nick Kyrgios Tennis Racquet
What racquet does Aussie bad-boy Nick Kyrgios play with? He endorses the Yonex Ezone DR 98 but plays with a Yonex Ezone XI 98. Tennis bad-boy Nick Kyrgios has been in the news recently due to his odd behaviour during his Shanghai Masters match against Mischa Zverev, where he pretty evidently tanked through large parts […]
Yonex VCORE SV series
It’s racquet releasing season and besides the big kaboom launch of the hyped Project One 7, that became the new Babolat Pure Strike we have Wilson launching a new series of Blades with Countervail technology and Yonex adding SV to their VCORE series. There is so much jargon in the tennis racquet making community, so many […]
Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd
So. The racquetaholic never sleeps. That’s why I have two new frames to test out at home: the Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd. The model itself is not new, but from 2013 and the specs make a lot of racquet fans drool with its customizable weight, silicone already injected in the handle and low stiffness […]
Babolat Pure Drive Original (1st edition)
Got a great and very rare first edition Babolat Pure Drive Original for sale (pre-woofer). It’s softer, more spin-friendly and still has that powerful Pure Drive style. Hardly used and strung recently with Solinco Hyper-G. A brilliant combo. Babolat Pure Drive Original (very rare, soft and spin-friendly!) As used by Fognini, Marc Lopez and Carlos […]

The new Babolat Pure Strike is here
The massively hyped-up Project One 7 has been revealed as the new Babolat Pure Strike. You’ve maybe read the glowing reviews? Usually I’m skeptical towards reviews, especially by companies selling the racquets themselves (like Tennis Warehouse), but you can’t but react to the amazing feedback that the new Babolat Pure Strike has received. I’m therefore […]
Lucas Pouille’s racquet
Lucas Pouille is perhaps the shining star of the new generation of French players and are already ranked at 17 in the world. What racquet does Pouille use? A lot of people wonder about Pouille’s racquet, especially since Prince has lost a few of their sponsored players, Ferrer, Delbonis and a few others to Babolat. Why […]
Kei Nishikori Tennis Racquet
A lot of people wonder how a relatively short guy like Kei Nishikori can get so much power out of his shots. If you’re interested in Nishikori’s racquet this is the post for you. Contrary to what most people think, Nishikori is not playing with the racquet model he endorses, the Wilson Burn 95, but […]
Dunlop MaxPly McEnroe and other classics
Any love for the old school? I have occasionally played with wooden racquets just to get back that “ball feel” and to make sure I don’t get lazy with my feet or technique. I can’t spin the ball like I do with my customized Babolat Pure Drive Originals, but it’s enjoyable to hit with wooden racquet. […]
