Wilson Pro Staff RF 85 Review
I was a bit surprised when Wilson announced that they were releasing a signature edition of the racquet that Federer started out with, the Wilson Pro Staff 85. Here are my thoughts after playing with the racquet. First off I’m a long-time Federer fan and his rivalry with Rafa is one of the reasons I’m […]
HEAD Liquidmetal Radical Tour Review
I’ve been playing with the HEAD Liquidmetal Tour for a while and I thought I’d give you an update on the racquet. The LM Radical Tour is from 2003 so not available in the store sadly… The HEAD Liquidmetal Radical Tour (abbreviated LM Radical Tour) is first and foremost a stable racquet. It sits at […]
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 […]
Volkl Tennis Racquets
I thought it would be interesting to delve into some lesser known brands and first off is the German ski manufacturer Volkl (Völkl) who once created the still great Volkl C10 Pro. Volkl has been a bit of a “background” brand in the tennis history but they do make high quality products. I was a […]
PT57A vs H19 – New racquets to test
I’ve just acquired some extra racquets to test alongside the Wilson Pro Staff RF 85 and the Pro Staff CV 97. It’s a Wilson H19 and a PT57A! Good times for a racquet nerd! I posted a pic and survey on my Instagram account yesterday between the HEAD PT57A and the Wilson H19 pro stock […]
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 Racquet Reviews and Thoughts
I’ve been play-testing several racquets from both Wilson and HEAD lately and I’ve drawn up a few conclusions and thoughts I want to share with you. First of all, there are a LOT of racquets to choose from on the market today. There is a simply a mind-boggling number of racquets that are within 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 […]
Tecnifibre Rackpack Pro
This might sound a bit wierd but I have a thing for bags and especially tennis bags. Maybe because I like the idea of efficient travel, I don’t know. At least it seems like Tecnifibre understands me. I own four different tennis bags when, perhaps, I need two. Maybe I play tennis according to the […]
HEAD Graphene Touch Extreme MP Review
HEAD is releasing their Graphene Touch line across all racquet models and this time it’s the Extreme line that gets the treatment with HEAD Graphene Touch Extreme MP. The HEAD Extreme line has always felt like a push towards Babolat Pure Drive and Pure Aero sticks with a user-friendly, powerful response. I was particularly impressed […]
