Wilson Ultra Tour: First Impressions
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
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 […]

Babolat Pure Strike Racquet Review
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. I wonder how consumers will be able to keep all these different Pure Strike models apart to be honest. The VS line replaces the […]
Wilson Burn with Countervail Review
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 […]

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. Wilson has managed to find that nice blend between control and power in a racquet that is relatively easy to play with but also not too harsh on your arm, which could be the […]
