In the latest Tennisnerd podcast, we are talking tennis racquets with Beckett from Tenncom. If you are a gearhead you are in for a treat.
Beckett Chung is a co-founder of the tennis gear media company Tenncom. He reviews racquets and strings for their YouTube channel and is a knowledgeable and humorous source for finding your optimal racquet setup. The chance is that you are already following his channel.
In this podcast, we talk about racquets, racquets, and racquets. And strings, of course. If you are not into gear, it can get a little bit nerdy at times, but if you are, you will enjoy it. You can listen to the podcast below or on your favorite media platform. It will also be live on YouTube tonight (9 pm CET).
