Tommy Haas Tennis Racquet
What is Tommy Haas’ tennis racquet? For you one-handed backhand lovers or fans of good tennis technique and all-round skills, Haas is a great guy to watch. Although he is retired, he has just announced that he is taking part in the exhibition tournament Bett1 Aces in Berlin. It will be interesting to see him […]
Magic Made in Austria – the PT57A
There is lot of talk on tennis forums and among racquetholics and tennis nerds that the “holy grail” of racquets is the Head Pro Tour 630, known as PT57A in pro stock lingo. Is it really magic? As I wrote in a previous post, I recently acquired a PT57A XL in a iPrestige MP paint […]
More player racquets, please
After a period where few “player” racquets saw the light of day, we’ve suddenly been fortunate to see the Wilson Ultra Tour and the Dunlop Srixon Revo CX 2.0 Tour released. Will other brands follow? Traditional player racquets are usually heavier, thin-beamed, flexible and low-powered. It’s all about control and comfort. Modern racquets on the […]
HEAD Graphene Touch Radical
It’s time for the HEAD Radical to get the Graphene Touch update. A few pics have been leaked on the tennis forums and I’m curious to hear what you think about them. I’m a fan of the HEAD Radical series, all the way from the first editions (PT57B) that most racquetholics calls the “Bumblebee”, to […]
Old but Gold – Love for Vintage Racquets
Any of you readers who play around or use vintage tennis racquets from time to time? It can be great fun and sometimes it’s also beneficial to your game.

Current setup: Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP LTD
As so many of you readers understand all too well…when you’ve started playing around with different racquets, strings and setups – it becomes a never-ending quest. Or perhaps journey is a better word – because at different points in the journey you need to stop and stick with a stick. Right now, that stick is […]
Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd
So. The racquetaholic never sleeps. That’s why I have two new frames to test out at home: the Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd. The model itself is not new, but from 2013 and the specs make a lot of racquet fans drool with its customizable weight, silicone already injected in the handle and low stiffness […]
Why I play with a 20-year-old racquet
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 […]
My racquets
I’ve sold almost all my racquets and kept “only” five of them to focus more on my game. It’s simply too difficult to keep switching racquets and still play consistently. So, I’ve decided to have two different racquet setups, just in case the switching bug hits me again. My main racquet will be the Head TGK […]
