Tennis rackets worth buying part 1

By Tennisnerd | on May 2, 2010 | 1 Comment
Gear Tennis Instruction

A great racket and some good strings will improve your game, no question about it. People that say that the equipment has nothing to do with it are lying. It doesn’t have everything to do with it, but you want to give yourself the best odds to win, right?

I have experienced with countless of setups throughout the years and finally found something I feel comfortable with. This is good because otherwise you will blame the racket, the strings, your slippery grip or something. I want to only blame myself when I am playing badly so I can fix it.

The setup I use today is Head Prestige Pro and Babolat RPM Blast strings. You can buy them both at Tennis Warehouse.

Specs for Wilson Ultimate Duo.
This hybrid string features Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 16L and Wison NXT Tour 16. The NXT Tour is of a multifilament construction containing Xycro Micro fibers bonded with polyurethane giving this string power and comfort with a gut-like feel. The ALU Power, which is the most popular choice on the ATP Tour, combines great durability with impressive power and good control. However you choose to string up your racquet, this combination will perform.
