Emma Raducanu’s racquet specs
Emma Raducanu is playing in Madrid this week and a stringer posted Raducanu’s racquet specs. Possibly inadvertently. Thanks to Alex Grant for sharing the pics from @racketspec on Instagram. As I’ve talked about in my previous content about Raducanu’s racquet, she is using a Wilson Steam 100 BLX. But Raducanu’s racquet specs were not well […]
Grapplesnake Tour Sniper Review
I’ve tested two Grapplesnake strings thoroughly and enjoyed both. I published my Grapplesnake Tour Sniper review on YouTube a while back. My Grapplesnake Tour Sniper Review impressed me with excellent control, decent spin potential and good feel for a medium-firm polyester string. I always like to point out that although polyester strings are the most […]
The Functional Tennis Saber is here
You might have seen me hit a blacked-out prototype of the Functional Tennis Saber in one of my videos. Now it’s available for pre-sale. The Functional Tennis Saber is a sweet spot training tool for ambitious players and coaches to work on a player’s contact point. You don’t have a lot of margin for error […]
What racquet is Rune using?
Holger Rune has just defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-2 in the Munich ATP 250. But what racquet is Rune using? The young Dane is showing some impressive improvement as he beats his first top 5 player in his career. He found his a-game, while Zverev seemed to struggle. Still, all props should go to Rune […]
Earth Day Racquets
There is a new trend of releasing earth day racquets. Wilson did it last year with their Naked racquets and now HEAD does it with Flax plant fibers. HEAD is not alone in doing earth day racquets this year (the HEAD racquets is more like a revealed project, you can’t actually buy the racquets yet […]
A popular Wilson racquet you might not have heard of
Here’s a video and a post about a popular Wilson racquet you might not have heard of. Feliciano Lopez uses it, for example. Feliciano Lopez racquet is, like with most pro player racquets, heavily customized to suit his specs. But he is not alone in using this popular Wilson racquet you might not have heard of. […]
What are platform racquets?
In my review of Monfils racquet, the Artengo TR 960 Control Tour, I called it a platform racquet. But what is a platform racquet? A platform racquet has the same idea as pro stock racquets in the way that you get a racquet at a lower specification (meaning weight/swing weight/balance), that you then customize to […]
New tennis shoes from HEAD
There are some new tennis shoes from HEAD on the market. I’m currently testing the Revolt Pro 4.0 and the Sprint Pro 3.5. A couple of years ago, I mainly wore Asics or Nike Vapor Tours. They are still good shoes, but my daily drivers on the rough hard courts of Malta are the Sprint […]
Talking tennis racquets with Troy and Michelle
As you might know, I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to tennis gear. I had a lot of fun talking tennis racquets with Troy and Michelle from Tennis Warehouse. I was invited on to the Tennis Warehouse podcast to discuss gear, pro player racquets and more with fellow tennis nerds and gearheads […]
The Racquets of the Top 10 ATP players
Updated 3rd December 2024I think it’s time we look at the racquets of the top 10 ATP players and what racquets they use. I have done separate videos about almost all these players, but I think this video titled racquets of the top 10 ATP players will condense the information in a better way. As […]
