In the Mail Today – Volkl Powerbridge 10 Mid
The last year I’ve been playing almost exclusively with Head Prestige IG MP and it’s probably the racket which I’ve had most consistent results with.

Darth Vader Tennis Racket? Wilson Blade 93
Got the opportunity to play-test the new Wilson Blade 93 (2013) tennis racket and for a mid-size racket it hits like a dream. You get a sense of the scalpel-like feel already when you pick it up and weigh it in your hand and hitting with it is nothing short of spectacular. I felt completely […]
