Tennis racquets endorsed by ATP pros
Found an excellent list of tennis racquets used by ATP pros at tennisthis but I would just like to add that a quite large percentage is not using the actual model found in the store, but a paint job of it with an older or different model underneath. Some of them use highly customized versions of […]
What’s new from Wilson tennis?
Tennis product companies create new products in cycles and we can expect new batches of gear coming out ahead of each Grand Slam, especially when it comes to apparel but also paint jobs on current racquet models and sometimes entirely new racquet lines.

Montanes to Babolat
It seems like several players are moving from Prince to Babolat. Well, at least David Ferrer, Federico Delbonis and Albert Montanes who are all using Babolat at the start of the 2016 season. I spotted Montanes today in Morocco where he was swinging a Babolat Pure Drive instead of his trusted Prince. Is it really a […]

Update: there is a new post on Dominic Thiem’s tennis racquet here. Thiem posted a new racquet on his twitter account. He has previously played with the Babolat Pure Strike (apparently a retail racquet), but is now going to play and endorse a different model. A Babolat official on the tennis warehouse forum confirmed that […]
Nike Court Air Zoom Ultra Fly
Nike Court Air Zoom Ultra Fly. (That’s a lot of names!) Is this really a tennis shoe? At 220 USD I damn well hope it is. It comes with the following technologies for extra swag: Pebax propulsion plates, hexagonal Zoom Air units, a Flyknit ankle cuff and herringbone outsole. To me, and this is my highly personal […]
Prince Textreme Tour 95
My new weapon of choice is the Prince Textreme Tour 95. I can’t believe I’ve changed racquets yet again, but something about this stick talked to me with its really nice “classic” specs, yet friendly swing-weight and open string pattern. It’s rare you find a modern racquet with a stiffness rating (strung) of 60 RA […]

Customizing your tennis racquet
Okay, so your racquet is not playing the way you want it to and this is what you do about it. Let’s say it has too much power, too little power, it feels unstable on off-center hits, it’s too light, it’s difficult to manoeuvre and so you start looking for a new racquet. Actually, you […]
Wilson Blade 98 for sale
I’ve got more Wilson Blade 98 (2014 green model) than I need, hence I’m selling two of them. Great stick for control that still has a modern feel and generates lots of spin. I can add a leather grip or synthetic grip to it if you want (I generally prefer leather, but it does make […]
