Player to watch: Jenson Brooksby
I watched an interesting match yesterday: Jenson Brooksby vs Felix Auger-Aliassime. Brooksby was spectacular and won 6-3 6-4. Auger-Aliassime was spraying forehands in the first set, which is a scene that is not entirely uncommon. He has such a weapon of a forehand, but his impressive racquet head speed can sometimes lead to some gnarly […]
New Yonex VCORE Pro Racquets (2021)
The new Yonex VCORE Pro racquets were announced today. I have tested four models: 97D, (replacing HD), 97H, 97 and 100. This is the refreshed, “neon-style” update to the 2019 edition of the VCORE Pro. The paint job is nice and durable, the specs are similar and they have changed the name of the 330g […]
What racquet do I use today?
The title: “What racquet do I use today?” is for two reasons: I have lots of racquets but I wanted to tell you what racquet I use the most. Choosing a tennis racquet is not easy. I know many of you who follow my struggle with this, as do I. It’s one of the reasons, […]
Player to watch: Vit Kopriva
I was checking the scores from the ATP 250 in Umag yesterday and was a bit shocked to see the result: Vit Kopriva vs Mikael Ymer: 6-1 6-0. I checked the highlights of Vit Kopriva’s match against Ymer and was impressed by his aggressive game and clean ball-striking. He is ranked at 249 in the […]
Tecnifibre TF-X1 Review
Today Tecnifibre announced the Tecnifibre TF-X1, a new racquet in the comfort category and an interesting competitor to the Wilson Clash. I often talk about the importance of adding more comfort-oriented racquets to the market. Some brands, like ProKennex and Donnay, build their whole brand around arm comfort. HEAD offer enough racquet lines to cover […]
My Wilson Custom Tennis Racquets have arrived
I’m generally always happy when the mailman rings the door. Today I received my Wilson Custom tennis racquets and they look great. Around 6 weeks back I designed a bunch of different Wilson Custom tennis racquets and asked my followers/subscribers to choose. In the end, this is what they chose, a Sweden (or Boca Juniors) […]
Prince Phantom 100G LB Review
It’s been a loooong time coming this Prince Phantom 100G LB Review. I’ve been pretty busy and I also found it quite difficult to get used to. You got to give it to Prince. They keep producing racquets that most other brands would say: “there is not much of an audience for this one, let’s […]
What does the dampener do?
Do you use a dampener or not? It’s a personal taste thing. But what does the dampener do? Here’s a new vlog about this topic. I have always been a dampener guy, because, with certain strings, I don’t enjoy the sound of playing without it. I prefer the “TWHOCK” over the “PIIIING”. But that’s mainly what […]
Karolina Pliskova’s Racquet
I got a few questions about Karolina Pliskova’s racquet. It doesn’t look like the most recent Pure Drive so what is it? Karolina Pliskova’s racquet is most likely what she has used since her junior days. An older version of the Babolat Pure Drive. Going back in time, you can see pictures of her using […]
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter
Andy Murray discusses his racquet on Twitter, yeah you read it. He had a Twitter convo with Brad Gilbert about his racquet setup. That’s why we love Andy Murray, right? He doesn’t shy away from taking his opinions or emotions publicly, which is endearing to me. The topic is timely, because it’s obvious that he […]
