Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon 2021 and his 20th grand slam title. I think with this result, he also pretty much kills the GOAT debate. I made a video before Wimbledon about the tiresome GOAT debate. I think they’re all GOATs in a way, but to be fair, Novak is the most successful male tennis player that has ever lived and he is not stopping here. He can technically win a …
Like I’ve talked about in a previous post I do a Wimbledon 2021 Daily Vlog covering my commentary around results and predictions. A Wimbledon 2021 daily vlog is not my usual type of content, but I thought it would be fun to cover the event really closely this year because it is the most prestigious grand slam and it was canceled last year. It also feels like a more normal …
This year I am challenging myself to create Wimbledon 2021 Results and Predictions in the format of daily vlogs. I am a bonafide tennis nerd and I think it’s likely that you are too. My nerdism doesn’t only stretch to racquets and gear, but pretty much all aspects of the sport. From mental strength to conditioning, these are all aspects of tennis that fascinate me. I don’t have time to …
I got a suggestion for a video on YouTube: What racquets should you use for doubles tennis? So without further ado here are the best racquets for doubles. Some play doubles occasionally, some never play doubles, and some only play doubles. I belong to the category that seldom plays it because I prefer the physicality of singles. But it’s a fun part of tennis and something that can develop your …
I wanted to create a series of videos on the topic: Things to know about tennis racquets. This one deals with weight, swing weight & balance. Why I lumped them together into one video called “Things to know about tennis racquets” is because I often get the question: if the weight and balance of my racquets (same model) are the same, will they have the same swing weight. The short …
Let’s look at some of my recent racquet acquisitions in my new vlog about Classic Racquets. What’s a classic to you? The definition of a classic racquet is perhaps a bit loose, but I think a “classic” is a racquet that has stood the test of time and can be enjoyed today and compete with what’s currently out there. You can go back 30 years to the HEAD Pro Tour …
I sometimes get comments on my YouTube reviews where players call certain racquets “garbage”. I wanted to make a vlog about it. Can a racquet be garbage? Yes, well, there are some really bad racquets out there, but they’re rarely the top-end models made by well-known manufacturers, which is mainly what I review on YouTube. If you get a fake racquet from Ali Baba or buy a cheap beginner model …
Today I hit with a cracked Babolat Pure Drive GT and it made me think of some key advice: don’t play with a broken racquet. The session was fine, although the sensation when hitting didn’t feel a hundred percent right. On the other hand, I know a guy who hits well with his two cracked racquets (and has done for many years). Still, I would advise you to buy a …
