Play-testing Period – Prince Phantom Pro, Babolat Pure Drive Tour Plus

by TN January 22, 2018

written by TN

My game is all over the place right now since I’m in a period where I’m play-testing a bunch of racquets: the Prince Phantom Pro 100P, the Babolat Pure Drive Tour Plus and the Angell K7 Red. And there are other racquets on my wish-list to try, especially the Tecnifibre Tflash 300 PS and the Srixon Dunlop CX 2.0 Tour (not yet available in Europe). I’m pretty sure the Tecnifibre Tflash 300 is too powerful for my game, but I’ve heard so many good things about it that I’m curious to try it. The Srixon Dunlop CX 2.0 Tour however seems …

Angell K7 Red Review: First Impressions

by TN December 18, 2017

written by TN

There’s been a lot of hype among racquetholics about the new Angell K7 Red racquets that is Angell’s venture into the “commercial” racquet market. But how good is it?

It’s simply in my mind a more comfortable version of the Babolat Pure Strike and the Wilson Blade 98. I thought it would be pretty powerful, but the Angell K7 Red is a control racquet with a focus on arm comfort. Is it the …

written by TN

Angell Tennis has just revealed a new racquet model for January 2018: the Angell K7 Red. A lighter, spin-friendly yet pretty soft racquet with an Aramid and Carbon fibre matrix. According to the Angell website, the Angell K7 Red is “a master of power and touch”. The newly introduced material Aramid is supposed to provide all the dampening and shock absorption needed and replaces the foam-filled core of other Angell racquet models. The new K7 racquet is however also built with high modulus carbon. This is what Wikipedia says about Aramid: Aramid fibers are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They …

Angell TC 97 Custom Review

by TN August 17, 2017

written by TN

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 off by giving you my specs: standard length, 320 grams, 10 pts head light, 18×20 string pattern, Angell leather grip. These specs are right in my wheelhouse, but you can get your preferred style of racquet when ordering a TC Custom at the Angell website. …

Finally got the chance to hold an Angell tennis racquet in my hands (Angell Custom TC 97 18×20) and will start play-testing it this week. Will report back on how it plays.

Paul has more than 20 years experience in the tennis industry and has worked as head of design at Dunlop Slazenger and personally manufactured the final Max200G racquets for German sports legend Steffi Graf.
