A lot of people are probably wondering what the hard-hitting Spaniard Nicolas Almagro is playing with. It’s not a Wilson, Head or Babolat so what can it be? Almagro has actually recently changed his racquet from a Dunlop 500 Tour to a Volkl Powerbridge 10 MP with a 16×19 string pattern under paint job of a Volkl […]

A pro stock tennis racquet is basically the blank paper version (called a hairpin) of a retail tennis racquet. It can be based on the mold of an older racquet or a brand new one.

Tennis racquets endorsed by ATP pros

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |
