Hayley Carter just completed the best year of her career. Playing in all of the 2020 Grand Slams, winning doubles titles and reaching a career high ranking despite playing through one of the most challenging years on tour -- she still found success. Yet through it all she was doubting her form and didn't completely trust her racquet. In this episode, Hayley talks to us about why she wanted to switch racquets and how exactly she made her switch from the Babolat Pure Aero to the Head Extreme MP. She walks us through what her demo process looked like and why this new racquet is such a great fit for her as she enters the 2021 season. She also talks about some of the ways she changed her perspective on demoing new gear and some shoe battles she's having as well!

Hopefully this debunks all the myths and nonsense spread by self proclaimed "experts" on this forum that pro players always play super special pro stock frames instead of off the shelf racquets. However it is so quiet on this tread that i fear a lot of twu members still believe what the home made experts told them again and again.
