Racquet review: Wilson Blade with Countervail
One of the most popular racquets among promising juniors and more advanced players of late has been the Wilson Blade series.

Racquet review: Yonex DR 98
One of the highest reviewed tennis racquets on Tennis Warehouse and Tennis Express is the Yonex DR 98 with some play-testers calling it “one of the best tennis racquets they’ve ever reviewed”.

A few months ago I stopped my racquet search (for the time being, you racquetaholics know exactly what I’m talking about) to go back to a racquet I used to play on and off years ago – the Head Pro Tour 630. The Pro Tour 630, or PT630, or PT57A as it’s called in its […]
Yonex Ai 98 review
Maybe the word “review” is not a fair statement when I’ve only played the stick a few hours, but here are my first impressions of the highly reviewed Yonex Ai 98.
