It’s not a good idea to obsess over pro player racquets, but knowing them can be fun. So here are the racquets of the ATP Finalists 2020. I don’t know the exact details for all the racquets of the ATP Finalists 2020, but this is what is known among stringers and customizers. If you are […]
Making the Switch – with Daniel Rutkowski
Are you making the switch? I consulted my friend Daniel Rutkowski on finding a new racquet and we made an in-depth video about his new frame. Daniel Rutkowski was featured in this post/video about his previous racquet, the Prince Phantom 93P that he had extended and customized with Ring&Roll. He wanted a bit more power […]
Babolat Pure Drive Racquet Holder x12 Bag Review
My regular contributor and friend, Henrik Wallensten, is back. This time with a Babolat Pure Drive Racquet Holder x12 Bag Review. You know for sure that when a new racquet is launched, it will also come with a new bag. The bag is an essential part of the equipment for me. I have an absurd […]
Playing with Low String Tensions
I am currently playing with low string tensions as an experiment. It has become quite popular among club players and pros to string low. But what is “low” and what does it to do your game? First of all, I want to say that I only recommend stringing low if you are using polyester strings. […]
Wilson Six One 95 nCode Classic Racquet Review
Time for another classic racquet review. It’s one of my personal favorites, the Wilson Six One 95 nCode (18×20). The Wilson Six One 95 nCode was a bestseller when it came out in 2004 and is today still used by several pros and many high-level club players. Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans are two pros […]

Solinco Hyper-G Soft String Review
I have been testing the Hyper-G Soft over a couple of weeks and here is my Solinco Hyper-G Soft String Review. Solinco Hyper-G is a popular but pretty stiff string. But like with Tour Bite, Solinco has now introduced a softer version. I don’t know the difference in stiffness, but the string is definitely softer […]
Yonex Ezone 98 Tour Review
I published the first impressions of the Yonex Ezone 98 Tour Review a while back, now I am ready with my full review. There has been a lot of interest and hype around this racquet and I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this Yonex Ezone 98 Tour review. For a good reason. The Yonex […]
HEAD Radical 2021 Prototypes Review
I have now finished my review of the HEAD Radical 2021 prototypes. This references the Radical Pro 2021 and Radical MP 2021. The updated Radical comes with spiral fibers in the layup similar to all the other Graphene 360+ racquets. The benefit is a more flexible and comfortable feel. HEAD have decided to shorten the […]
TenX Xstrike
I have received two demos of the new TenX Xstrike racquets. You might remember the Aussie-based brand from my Xcalibre review a while back… The Xcalibre were slightly extended control-oriented racquets, while the TenX Xstrike is more about power and spin. It’s a more flexible version of a Pure Drive with a listed stiffness rating […]
