Huge congrats to Danielle Collins for winning the Miami Masters in her last year on tour! But what is Danielle Collins’ racquet? Danielle Collins’ racquet used to be a Babolat Pure Aero, but last year she switched to Tecnifibre. She is now using the Tecnifibre Tfight 300 (slightly extended to 27.2 inches from what I have heard) and the following unstrung specs: 310 grams, 32 cm balance and 298 swing weight. If you add strings and overgrip, you get some thing like 334 grams, 32.5 cm balance and 330 swing weight. The retail specs of the excellent Tecnifibre Tfight 300 …
This Wilson Blade 98 V9 16/19 Review took place over a period of months. The big question is: is it better than V8? The problem with that question is that the difference between them is small. The mold is the same and the layup is very similar. The color of it is, of course, ultra-subjective. Personally, I like both, but the color-shifting of the V8 is more pronounced. If you are a fan of the Blade racquet series, you won’t be disappointed with V9. Every generation has its shares of pros and cons and we will get to those later …
Dimitrov is back in the top ten, while Sinner seems unbeatable. Here is our Dimitrov vs Sinner Miami prediction. When Dimitrov beat Alcaraz in straight sets and Alcaraz said that the Bulgarian made him feel like a 13-year-old on the court, we knew something was brewing in the Dimi tennis kitchen. He followed it up with a more hard-fought win over Zverev in three sets and now he takes on the hottest player in men’s tennis right now, Jannik Sinner. Sinner, on the other hand, completely demolished Medvedev in their semi-final. We definitely did NOT see this result coming as …
Thanks to fellow tennis nerd, Bruno, we now know the specs of Yoshihito Nishioka’s racquet. It’s lighter than you think. As far as I understand, Nishioka is using a Yonex VCORE 98 (2023 version). This is the same as Tommy Paul’s racquet, but the specs differ. Tommy’s is a bit heavier as far as I understand and remember. When I reviewed the Yonex VCORE 2023 racquets, the 98 was my favorite, usually reserved for the 95. But I think the 98 slots well in between the 100 and the 95 and is perhaps the most logical choice for most people …
The iconic Babolat Pure Drive celebrates 30 years in a couple of days. This racquet was made popular by players like Carlos Moya. But as you know, Moya is not the only prominent tennis player who has used a Babolat Pure Drive. Just to name a few: Kim Clijsters, Garbine Muguruza, Andy Roddick and Fabio Fognini. Rafa Nadal used the Pure Drive before they made the Aero Pro Drive for him. Babolat is preparing a launch on the 30th of March, where a new Pure Drive will be released. But will it be a new Pure Drive with NF2 technology …
Here is my podcast with the David Goggins of Tennis, Thomas Alm. Thomas is a Swedish coach with 20 years of experience coaching players on ATP and WTA tours. If you don’t know about David Goggins, he is an ultra-marathon athlete famous for taking on outrageous physical challenges and going through them. His motto is: Stay hard! And it is not a shock that he was once a Navy seal. Thomas Alm was never a Navy seal, but he really focused hard on mental and physical strength in tennis. He wants to see a full commitment from his players and …

I have several new strings to test. Except for the hyped-up Restring Sync, I will also test String Project Sirius. What is String Project? String Project is an Italian brand. Their focus is on arm-friendly strings. We have favorably reviewed some of their strings like Gold and Magic before. Sirius is a round, green control-focused string with “arm-friendly” technology. What is different and nice about String Project strings is that they always publish data on their strings from lab tests and you can download pdfs on their website on the different strings. Technologies of String Project strings Pre-stretchThe idea of …
