I’m on one of my periods again and with that I mean one of those racquet switching periods. It ends up with me bringing 3-4 different kinds of racquets to the court. Not the best strategy for tournament play perhaps. But it’s fun and it’s the most important thing, right? So I’ve just added two […]

What Happened to Spin Patterns?
A couple of years ago the trend was for tennis racquet companies to produce very open spin-friendly string patterns, so called spin “patterns”. What happened to them? The Wilson Steam 99S was one of the most popular racquets of the bunch and it took it as a far as it goes really with its 15×16 […]
