Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 310 Review
I had two Toalson racquets to review, the Forty Love and the S-Mach 97 310. The Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 is the most powerful. I don’t know the stiffness rating of the Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 310, but it’s a stiffer frame for sure with ample power. The feeling on impact is not quite as […]
New racquets and new titles
The 2022 season has started with new racquets and new titles for Gael Monfils and Amanda Anisimova. Maybe also Shapovalov. I’ve done a few videos and posts about gear and apparel changes in 2022. Monfils took his new Artengo racquet and won the Adelaide ATP 250 in impressive fashion, defeating Khachanov in the final 6-4 […]
Tecnifibre TF40 2022
The Tecnifibre TF40 2022 is here. Three models, two in 16×19 and one in 18×20 string pattern. Is it as good as the original? The original Tecnifibre TF40 was a gem of a racquet. Nice feel, control, but still with a balanced power potential. A truly modern control racquet. Legendary play-tester Chris Edwards made it […]

Gael Monfils Switches to Artengo
I was a bit surprised to hear that Gael Monfils switches to Artengo, but in some ways it makes sense. It’s maybe time for a change. If you’re curious about what racquet Monfils used before, check out this post. 2021 was an eventful year for Gael. He struggled in the middle part of the year […]

You add the Retenser while stringing, which is fairly simple and it then allows you to increase or reduce the string tension. There is also a Retenser Pro version with three cylinders and a few more options. […]
