Yonex VCORE Racquets 2021 – First impressions

Written by: Henrik Wallensten |

My friend and fellow tennis nerd, Henrik Wallensten, is back with his first impressions about the new Yonex VCORE racquets – both 98 and 100. Word over to Henrik! Ps. I also look forward to play-testing the new Yonex VCORE racquets. They should be on their way, so I will keep you posted. If you […]

Wilson Burn 100 V4 Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I was never a fan of the Burn line. They always felt pretty stiff and unresponsive to me. But this Wilson Burn 100 V4 review surprised me. I play-test and review a lot of racquets every year. And many of them are in a similar spec range since the standard club player racquet has become […]

Wilson Blade Pro Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

A lot of people have asked about this, so I prioritized it :) Here is my Wilson Blade Pro review. Is it the H22? Yes, it is the H22 mold. But it does feel a bit stiffer than the H22 pro stocks I have tried. It’s not at all uncomfortable, but the feel is not […]

TenX Pro Xstrike Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have been testing the new 300g and 315g Xstrikes from TenX Pro for a few weeks. Here is my TenX Pro Xstrike Review. Introduction I got two demos for this TenX Pro Xstrike review – they have the same mold and layup, but different weights, balance points, and swing weights. The technology in the […]

Making the Switch – with Daniel Rutkowski

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Are you making the switch? I consulted my friend Daniel Rutkowski on finding a new racquet and we made an in-depth video about his new frame. Daniel Rutkowski was featured in this post/video about his previous racquet, the Prince Phantom 93P that he had extended and customized with Ring&Roll. He wanted a bit more power […]

Wilson Six One 95 nCode Classic Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Time for another classic racquet review. It’s one of my personal favorites, the Wilson Six One 95 nCode (18×20). The Wilson Six One 95 nCode was a bestseller when it came out in 2004 and is today still used by several pros and many high-level club players. Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans are two pros […]

Yonex Ezone 98 Tour Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I published the first impressions of the Yonex Ezone 98 Tour Review a while back, now I am ready with my full review. There has been a lot of interest and hype around this racquet and I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this Yonex Ezone 98 Tour review. For a good reason. The Yonex […]

HEAD Radical 2021 Prototypes Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have now finished my review of the HEAD Radical 2021 prototypes. This references the Radical Pro 2021 and Radical MP 2021. The updated Radical comes with spiral fibers in the layup similar to all the other Graphene 360+ racquets. The benefit is a more flexible and comfortable feel. HEAD have decided to shorten the […]

TenX Xstrike

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have received two demos of the new TenX Xstrike racquets. You might remember the Aussie-based brand from my Xcalibre review a while back… The Xcalibre were slightly extended control-oriented racquets, while the TenX Xstrike is more about power and spin. It’s a more flexible version of a Pure Drive with a listed stiffness rating […]

Babolat Pure Drive 2021 Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I called the first post about this racquet “PD 2020”, but it’s actually a Babolat Pure Drive 2021 Review. Babolat usually release new updates to their racquets every three years. Most manufacturers do 2-3 years in between an update and I think that’s a pretty sensible rhythm if there are improvements/changes made to the frame. […]
