Customizing your tennis racquet
Okay, so your racquet is not playing the way you want it to and this is what you do about it. Let’s say it has too much power, too little power, it feels unstable on off-center hits, it’s too light, it’s difficult to manoeuvre and so you start looking for a new racquet. Actually, you […]
Wilson Blade 98 for sale
I’ve got more Wilson Blade 98 (2014 green model) than I need, hence I’m selling two of them. Great stick for control that still has a modern feel and generates lots of spin. I can add a leather grip or synthetic grip to it if you want (I generally prefer leather, but it does make […]
Federer’s new racquet
Roger Federer has ditched his old RF97 Autograph for something larger in time for Brisbane. New season starts tomorrow!
Ferrer changes racquet to Babolat Pure Drive Plus
Pre-season tournaments have started with Mubadala World Tennis Champs (pretentious name!) in Abu Dhabi. First match was between Ferrer and Tsonga and ended with a royal beating.

Why I play with a 20-year-old racquet
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
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 […]
