My racquets
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
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
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
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 […]
Testing Yonex Ai 98
A lot of players choose their racquets based Tennis Warehouse reviews. This is not a stupid idea, since I think their reviews are usually quite spot on, but it’s obviously a good idea to test the racquet yourself before you commit to a particular model. After all, a new tennis racquet isn’t cheap. If you […]

My Quest for the Holy Grail
Okay, I admit it, I’m a racquetaholic. It’s not as bad as many of my racquetaholic buddies at Stringforum and TT Warehouse but I’ve tried plenty of racquets and string setups in my so called tennis “career”. It’s been a fun ride, and that’s the point of it all I guess, but I’ve realized there will never […]
Federer’s New Racquet – Still Blacked Out
Joey Hanf of the excellent blog Tennisnerds (not affiliated with this one! :)) wrote a good post about the first day at Roland Garros where he, among other things, said he was baffled that Wilson hasn’t come up with a paint job for Federer’s new racquet yet. I have wondered the same for quite some time. […]
How To Make A Tennis Racket
Great instructive video from Wilson Innovation Centre and Tennis Warehouse on how to make a tennis racket. Interesting stuff! Who wouldn’t want one of those blacked-out frames? Head’s version of how a tennis racket is made:
