Racquet review: Babolat Pure Drive with FSI

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

The Babolat Pure Drive is an iconic tennis racquet. Released in the early 90s, it has been a bestseller ever since due to its easy of use and access to power and spin. The 2015 release with FSI technology (which means Frame String Interaction) and is a drill pattern change that will move the sweet spot […]

Choosing a tennis racquet

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have written a lot about choosing a tennis racquet. Why? Because it is such a big deal to many players. Myself included. Partly because I am genuinely interested in tennis technology, and partly because it actually does make a difference. When you are a hundred percent confident with what you wield on the tennis […]

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Got two sets of racquets for sale so if you’re interested – send me an e-mail at tennisnerdnetATgmail.com First pic is 2 Babolat Aero Storm Tour.

Why I play with a 20-year-old racquet

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

A few months ago I stopped my racquet search (for the time being, you racquetaholics know exactly what I’m talking about) to go back to a racquet I used to play on and off years ago – the Head Pro Tour 630. The Pro Tour 630, or PT630, or PT57A as it’s called in its […]

Switching racquet mania

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I’ve been play-testing many racquets lately and had lots of fun with it. However, it gets to a point where your game starts to suffer from all the different setups you’re playing with. And if you’re main point is improving your tennis (it is for me), it’s not a good strategy. The racquet is your […]

Here is a brief overview of what is available […]

My racquets

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I’ve sold almost all my racquets and kept “only” five of them to focus more on my game. It’s simply too difficult to keep switching racquets and still play consistently. So, I’ve decided to have two different racquet setups, just in case the switching bug hits me again. My main racquet will be the Head TGK […]

Stiff vs flexible – tennis racquets

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Stiff or flexible – don’t break your racquet in rage like Baghdatis does in the pic. I’ve tested loads of racquet during the years. For review purposes as well as “could this be the Holy Grail?” purposes. I’ve wandered from 90-inch to 100-inch head sizes, from stiff, light and powerful frames like Babolat Aero Pro […]

Yonex Ai 98 review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Maybe the word “review” is not a fair statement when I’ve only played the stick a few hours, but here are my first impressions of the highly reviewed Yonex Ai 98. First of all, it’s very easy to get used to. It moves briskly through the air and is still remarkably arm-friendly which I don’t find […]

Wilson RF97 Autograph Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I’ve been playing a lot of racquets lately, which is not a great strategy if you want to focus on your game, because too much attention is given to how the racquet plays and not how YOU play. Anyway, it is really important if you’re serious about your tennis that the racquet feels good in your […]
