Diadem Elevate V4 Review: The underdog control racquet gets a glossy upgrade
For advanced, hard-hitting tennis players, the Diadem Elevate franchise has always been something of an insider secret. Introduced to provide maximum control, it carved out a dedicated niche among competitive players who want traditional precision but with a slightly more user-friendly, spin-friendly response than a standard 18×20 control racquet (the Elevate is 16/20). Now, Diadem […]
Wilson Python Review: The New Spin Weapons from Wilson
We got early access to Wilson’s upcoming Python racquets, including the P98 and the P100 and these are our thoughts. Wilson has been running a fairly low-key campaign around its new “Python” series. Which is just the prototype name. We wrote about it in our early post about the new Wilson spin racquet. The racquets […]
Solinco 115 Prizm & 110 Blackout Review: Are Oversized Frames Having a Moment?
Let’s be honest. I usually procrastinate on oversized racquet reviews. There are always more interesting sticks in the queue – something for match play, something for the serious club player. But Solinco sent over the 115 Prizm and the 110 Blackout, and I gave them a proper hitting session. Here’s the verdict. Solinco 115 Prizm […]
HEAD Squared Review – the best beginner racket?
Sometimes a racquet comes along that doesn’t quite fit the usual silos – and that’s exactly what the Squared feels like. Read or watch our HEAD Squared review. Introduction Positioned (somewhat modestly) as a beginner-to-intermediate frame, this latest release from Head is, in reality, something much more interesting: a highly maneuverable, ultra-comfortable, spin-friendly racquet with […]
Nordicdots Model 99 G2 Review – their most refined racquet?
Nordicdots is back with an update to their first racquet, their Model 99. And here we are with an in-depth Nordicdots Model 99 G2 Review. Introduction The Nordicdots Model 99 G2 is not just an update—it’s a reset. Where Generation 1 flirted with innovation (and occasionally frustration), Generation 2 lands with a much clearer identity. […]
Wilson Blade V10 Review
The Wilson Blade V10 continues one of the most recognizable control racquet lines on the market, and as expected, this is not a revolution – but a careful refinement. Based on multiple playtests across different models, the V10 update brings subtle but meaningful improvements, especially in stability and feel. First impressions and general feel Right […]
HEAD Boom 2026 Review – Controlled Power Gets Smarter (and Slightly Firmer)
Let’s talk about the new HEAD Boom series, specifically the Boom MP and Boom Pro. This is an update that doesn’t scream revolution, but quietly refines what was already a very interesting line. And in classic HEAD fashion, we’re looking at subtle evolution rather than dramatic reinvention. But sometimes, that’s exactly what a racquet line needs. […]
Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026) Review: One of the Most Fun Racquets I’ve Ever Played
After playing with the Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026) for a while, it quickly became clear that this is one of the most fun racquets I’ve ever used. Babolat has improved an already great frame so that it feels faster, more explosive, and more complete on the court. The most noticeable thing about the first […]
TFight 300 ID (2025) Review: Smash-About Joy with Serious Potential
This is one of the most fun rackets I’ve played with in a long time. I strung the TFight 300 ID (2025) with Toroline O’Toro Tour, a shaped control poly I trust for disciplined launch and reliable bite. That combo gave me a really clear picture of what this frame is about, and what it […]
TF40 315 V3 (2024) Review: The Volvo of Control Racquets
My setup: Head Speed MP reference point, but I tested this TF40 with Luxilon 4G Soft (mains) + GrappleSnake Tour M8 (crosses), a combo I genuinely rate because it usually gives me a clean, controlled launch without turning the bed into a plank. And honestly… I walked off the court thinking: who is this racquet […]
