Caroline Wozniacki’s Racquet
Caroline Wozniacki might be well on her way to winning her first grand slam title during the Australian Open 2018. What racquet does she use? Wozniacki has been using a Babolat Pure Aero Plus (it might be the older model, Babolat Aero Pro Drive, not sure) since she came back to Babolat after some time with […]
Best string for Wilson Blade
I’ve found my go-to racquet. It’s the Wilson Blade 98 (2015) that I’ve leaded up to 345 grams (strung) and put a leather grip on it to make it more head light. I truly love the control-oriented yet modern feel which allows me to take big cuts at the ball. Right now I’m experimenting with […]
Tennis strings used by top players
Found this great post on strings used by top players at tennisthis and will list it below. Luxilon Big Banger is a bestseller but we knew that already and that players like to play with hybrid stringing is not news to most people, but still an interesting list. I wonder what you would have to do […]
In the Mail Today – Volkl Powerbridge 10 Mid
The last year I’ve been playing almost exclusively with Head Prestige IG MP and it’s probably the racket which I’ve had most consistent results with. Especially since I switched the grips to TK82S (Wilson shape) and added lead to the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, it’s been playing like a dream. A lot thanks to my […]
TOP SPIN – A Nadal Practice Session
It’s hard not to be mesmerised by this clip of a Nadal practice session. Look at Nadal’s shots and how the ball loops into the air and then the rotations start and it lands in. For a guy who hits a pretty flat shot, this get me very jealous. I find practice videos the best to […]
Finding the best tennis racquet
It’s not a simple quest. For me it’s almost eternal. I’m never completely happy with my frame – it almost feels like my tennis soul never will find peace. As I’m writing in “My Tennis Racquets” I’m currently playing with the Head IG Prestige MP and the Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 90 BLX but I can’t really […]
Finding the best tennis strings for your racquet
Yes, thats my latest quest – finding the best tennis strings. Or maybe I shouldn’t call it “the best”, but just the tennis strings that fit my game the best. I have decided to start testing four different strings: Babolat RPM Blast Nadal’s string of choice and a super-spin-friendly string. Has received decent reviews. Curious […]
String review: Babolat RPM Blast
I was playing a beautiful combo of Wilson NXT Tour and Luxilon Big Banger but the gut-like NXT broke quite often and although the feel was spectacular I was worried not only the strings would end up broke. I decided to try out the more durable Babolat RPM Blast which promised a lot of spin […]
Head Youtek IG Speed Pro Review
I have been play-testing the Head Youtek IG Speed Pro, the one that Djokovic endorses (although he is using something quite different, read this post for Djokovic’s actual racquet) and although I was skeptical with the weight at first since I normally play with a lighter player’s frame, I really love hitting with it now. […]
Time For a New Tennis Racket?
We all love to buy stuff. New rackets, new strings, new shoes, in our hope to become better players. You favorite player moved to Head, why shouldn’t you? Why not put a little leadteap on it, buy lighter shoes, a new shirt might do the trick? Or maybe that extra kilo in the frame stringing […]
