The Wilson Six One 95 is one of the most iconic racquet lines in history and it deserves a classic racquet review. Have you used this legendary racquet? What started with the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 Classic 30 or so years ago, is still going strong among both club players and pros today. The Six […]

Babolat Pure Storm Tour GT Classic Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

When I created my video about Pete Sampras racquet, I stumbled upon his current racquet of choice, the Babolat Pure Storm Tour GT from 2011. Here is my classic racquet review. The Babolat Pure Storm line is discontinued these days. Much to the dismay of fans of control-oriented and plush player frames. This racquet is […]

Prince Phantom 100P and 93P Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I was a big fan of the Prince Phantom line of racquets when they were first released. This is the update to the Phantom 100P and 93P. The Prince Phantom P line is all about the thin beam and being in control. The feel of these racquets are great, but they are all pretty demanding […]

Babolat Pure Strike Tour Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

The Babolat Pure Strike Tour is a lethal weapon for the attacking player. This 2nd generation Pure Strike packs power, precision, but lacks some feel. Before I move on with this Babolat Pure Strike Tour racquet review I want to thank All Things Tennis for the demo racquet. Since I have difficulty getting demo racquets […]

HEAD Graphene 360+ Speed MP Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It is time for the Speed MP to get an injection of spiral fibers. Here is my HEAD Graphene 360+ Speed MP Racquet Review. In short: I like it. The update to the HEAD Graphene 360+ Speed MP is not huge. The specs are pretty close to the predecessor. The colors are inverted, the swing […]
