ATP Houston String Tensions
Thanks to a fellow tennis nerd, we received a picture of the ATP Houston String Tensions. Here is what we found. Can you learn a lot from pro player string tension sheets? Hmmm…difficult to say. I guess you can be inspired that many professional tennis players use lower tensions than most club level players. What […]
Tecnifibre TF-X1 V2
There is a new Tecnifibre TF-X1 V2 line of racquets out. It is the update to the power/spin racquet from Tecnifibre. This launch came out of nowhere. I did not see a huge build-up for this release or any pre-sales. There is a new model in the Tecnifibre TF-X1 V2 line, which is a 305-gram […]
Danielle Collins’ Racquet
Huge congrats to Danielle Collins for winning the Miami Masters in her last year on tour! But what is Danielle Collins’ racquet? Danielle Collins’ racquet used to be a Babolat Pure Aero, but last year she switched to Tecnifibre. She is now using the Tecnifibre Tfight 300 (slightly extended to 27.2 inches from what I […]
Wilson Blade 98 16/19 V9 Review
This Wilson Blade 98 V9 16/19 Review took place over a period of months. The big question is: is it better than V8? The problem with that question is that the difference between them is small. The mold is the same and the layup is very similar. The color of it is, of course, ultra-subjective. […]
Yoshihito Nishioka’s racquet
Thanks to fellow tennis nerd, Bruno, we now know the specs of Yoshihito Nishioka’s racquet. It’s lighter than you think. As far as I understand, Nishioka is using a Yonex VCORE 98 (2023 version). This is the same as Tommy Paul’s racquet, but the specs differ. Tommy’s is a bit heavier as far as I […]
The Babolat Pure Drive celebrates 30 years
The iconic Babolat Pure Drive celebrates 30 years in a couple of days. This racquet was made popular by players like Carlos Moya. But as you know, Moya is not the only prominent tennis player who has used a Babolat Pure Drive. Just to name a few: Kim Clijsters, Garbine Muguruza, Andy Roddick and Fabio […]

You can check out the Babolat Pure Strike 100 16/20 on Tennis Warehouse Europe, Tennis Warehouse and Tennis Only. The Babolat Pure Strike 2024 review we published earlier deals […]
String Project Sirius
I have several new strings to test. Except for the hyped-up Restring Sync, I will also test String Project Sirius. What is String Project? String Project is an Italian brand. Their focus is on arm-friendly strings. We have favorably reviewed some of their strings like Gold and Magic before. Sirius is a round, green control-focused […]
HEAD Boom Pro 2024 Review
Is this the most exciting racquet by HEAD in the market right now? Let me know what you think. Here is my HEAD Boom Pro 2024 Review. It is sometimes difficult to know what to call racquets. Is this a HEAD Boom Pro Auxetic 2.0 or should it be called by the year it was […]
