Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1

by Jonas Eriksson
written by Jonas Eriksson

The shoe endorsed by Frances Tiafoe does not look quite like your regular tennis shoe. Here is the Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1. Not sure what to say about the look of the Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1. It looks more like a regular training shoe than a tennis shoe. This can be a good thing as long as it is as stable and supportive as a tennis shoe needs …

The most popular racquet on the WTA Tour

by Jonas Eriksson
written by Jonas Eriksson

Is this the most popular racquet on the WTA Tour? No, probably not, but it is very popular and for a reason. The racquet in question is the Wilson Steam 100 BLX pro stock version used by players like Emma Raducanu, Amanda Anisimova, Paola Badosa, Mirra Andreeva, Diane Parry and probably many other players on the WTA Tour. You can tell it by its four white main grommets. It is …

Adidas Barricade 13

by Jonas Eriksson
written by Jonas Eriksson

I have received several new tennis shoes for review this month. One is the Adidas Barricade 13. The Barricade is a true classic. The Adidas Barricade 13 is endorsed by top ATP pros like Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Dominic Thiem. If you have no experience with the Barricade line, they are an icon regarding stability and durability. It is not the fastest shoe you will find, but most players …

HEAD Speed Pro 2024 Review

by Jonas Eriksson
written by Jonas Eriksson

This was one of my favorite racquets of 2022. Time for the Auxetic 2.0 version. Here is my HEAD Speed Pro 2024 Review. The HEAD Speed Pro is one of HEAD’s heaviest racquets at 310 grams unstrung and has a hefty swing weight of around 300 (330 with strings). You need to like this type of racquet to enjoy it. But if you do, it brings a very solid feel …

Tomas Etcheverry’s racquet

by Jonas Eriksson
written by Jonas Eriksson

We are going to be following sponsorship changes for 2024. One is Tomas Etcheverry’s racquet, which is no longer a HEAD Speed. Tomas Martin Etcheverry made significant strides in 2023. He is now a top-30 player and hungry for more (obviously). Somewhat surprisingly, he has recently made the switch from his HEAD Speed racquet (the TGT 301 that Jannik Sinner uses, but I’m unsure about the specifications) to a Yonex …
