Wilson Ultra Tour Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

It’s time to conclude the play-test of the Wilson Ultra Tour. I can already say it is one of the best new racquets I’ve played in the last five years. I’ve written quite a bit about the Wilson Ultra Tour already (Wilson Ultra Tour First Impressions, the Wilson Ultra line and about the Wilson Ultra 100 […]

Comparing Angell TC 97 Custom to Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

As most of you loyal readers know, I’ve been play-testing the Angell TC 97 Custom 18×20 for a while now and I wanted to throw in a comparison between another popular racquet: the Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph. The reason I wanted to do this test is because the Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 […]

Wilson Ultra 100 CV Review Update

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I’ve hit some more with both the Wilson Ultra 100 CV and the Wilson Ultra Tour and wanted to give you an update on my experience so far. First a few words about my preferred racquet review process. I play-test the racquets (and strings) in match and practice versus different opponents of varying strengths. They also […]

Wilson Ultra Tour: First Impressions

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I’ve had a first hit with the Wilson Ultra Tour and want to give you my initial impression about this much talked about racquet. Full review to come. The test racquet I have is strung with Luxilon Alu Power. It’s not my string of choice, but it works alright in the Wilson Ultra Tour. For the […]

Angell TC 97 Custom Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

I have been testing the Angell TC 97 Custom 18×20 for a few weeks and here are my thoughts on this racquet. You can of course get your own specs at Angell tennis. Since the point of Custom Angell racquets is to be able to order the racquet to your ideal specs, I better start […]

TW Playtesters Switching to Yonex DR 98 Plus

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

If you are a tennis nerd, I’m sure you’re familiar with Tennis Warehouse. In a recent video two reviewers (Andy & Chris) announce they are switching to Yonex DR 98 Plus. Lots of people follow the Tennis Warehouse Youtube channels so I’m sure these will affect the sales of the Yonex DR 98 Plus a great deal. […]

HEAD MxG 3 & 5 Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Here is the racquet that Rafael Nadal tested for five weeks in the off-season – the HEAD MxG 3 (along with the HEAD MxG 5). I’ve been testing the racquets and here is my review. First of all, they do look GREAT. Looks are not that important however, it’s all about playability. Let’s start with the […]

Babolat Pure Strike Racquet Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Babolat has finally released a few more versions to the Babolat Pure Strike line with the Babolat Pure Strike 18×20, the Babolat Pure Strike VS and the Babolat Pure Strike VS Tour.

Wilson Burn with Countervail Review

Written by: Jonas Eriksson |

Wilson Tennis has released a new version of the Burn line (took over from the Steams) with Countervail. The Wilson Burn racquets (including the FST update) were a relatively stiff line of racquets but the reviews talked about a relatively comfortable feel for strung RA ratings around 70(!). The Burn 95 (extended length) and especially the […]
