Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have been trying several extended-length racquets recently, so-called longbodies. The new Pure Aero VS, Yonex Ezone 98, HEAD Gravity MP. Big thanks to longbodies.com for providing the racquets for this test. Longbodies.com sell only extended-length racquets. 27.25 or 27.5 inches to be exact. So what does the added length do?

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have been testing the new Diadem FS Racquets – Elevate Tour and Nova 100. The racquets are updated with a Flex Stabilization System. I reviewed the previous version of the Diadem Elevate and Elevate Tour and liked them a lot, but this is the first time I tried the Nova. The Elevate is the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have had the fortune to test a lighter Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph from the German customization company Ring&Roll. Here is my review.

HEAD iPrestige MP – PT57E

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

The HEAD iPrestige MP, also known as the PT57E, is a true classic. It has the same mold as the “holy grail”, big brother PT57A, but a stiffer feel. I had the opportunity to play a bit with Ernests Gulbis old PT57E racquets and felt like I had to create this post and video. PT57E […]
