Victor Estrella Burgos Tennis Racquet
Victor Estrella Burgos is 36 years old in August but is still playing great tennis and won his third straight Quito Open a couple of weeks ago. Despite his modest height of 1.73 m (which is very modest for a professional tennis player), he has proven that tennis is not all about age and physical […]
Nicolas Mahut Racquet
Nicolas Mahut is perhaps more famous as the doubles partner of Pierre Hughes-Herbert, or the guy who lost the longest tennis match in history (against John Isner in Wimbledon 2010) but he is also a previous Boys Wimbledon champion and has won four singels titles, all on grass. This means he can obviously play also […]

Casper Ruud’s tennis racquet Ruud used to be a Babolat Aero Pro Drive (currently called Pure Aero) user, but has switched to the Yonex DR 100 Plus racquet with some […]
Nikoloz Bashilashvili’s Racquet
Georgia is not a country famous for their tennis players, but they have some hope in 24-year-old Nikoloz Bashilashvili who qualified for his first ATP Tour final in Memphis. He ended up losing to Ryan Harrison in straight sets, but it was still a valuable trip for the #67 ranked Bashilashvili. But we’re not here […]

Now when the market is moving towards more and more spin, it’s about time that Babolat releases a textured and more spin-friendly version of the RPM Blast. […]
Ryan Harrison’s Racquet
American 25-year-old Ryan Harrison was hailed as a great promise a few years ago, but after a string of disappointing results followed by injuries, most tennis fans seemed to have forgotten about him. But now he’s back at the top of people’s minds again after reaching his first ATP final in Memphis Open. Harrison is […]
Pierre Hughes-Herbert’s racquet
Pierre Hughes-Herbert is perhaps more famous for his success on the doubles tour with his countryman Nicolas Mahut, but in the ABN AMRO ATP 500 Tournament in Rotterdam he has just reached the semi-finals, beating Dominic Thiem in the quarters in straight sets after some aggressive tennis and beautiful volleys. This makes all us racquetholics […]
Ytex Quadro Twist String Review
I’ve used the Ytex Quadro Twist for a few hours in my Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltd (that is usually strung with Solinco Hyper-G) and I really have only one word, well actually two: dwell time. The Tennis Warehouse play-testers talked about how much spin you would get out of this string, but I was more impressed […]
Jeremy Chardy’s Racquet
Tall and powerful French player Jeremy Chardy has one of those games that can trouble anyone but also seems to trouble himself at times. He has beaten Djokovic and Federer but seems to lack the mental stability to push himself far enough to win tournaments. He has one title from 2009 (Stuttgart when it was […]
Dustin Brown Tennis Racquet
Jamaican-German tennis player Dustin Brown is one of the most entertaining players to watch on tour with his tweeners, jump shots, crazy spin shots and more. What racquet and strings does he use to do all that? Brown plays with a Babolat Pure Drive FSI strung with Luxilon 4G that he strings “insanely” high at around […]
