Right on Gonzo, I fear that many people simply discriminate against Rios because of his off court attitute and tarnish his tennis with that brush. You can't have it both ways. However when you...

Trav, thanks for all your hard work and experimentation on these performance formulas, they seem to be part of the missing glue which allows us to customise our racket to the same "feel". I say...

Evening out the frame stress and lack of stretching are good points, but I'm talking about playability over the long term with Kevlar. In my mind it's the tension that determines the feel of a...

Silicone in Yonex handles - howto
You can use this method for just about any brand of racket and I prefer doing it this way because it's more accurate and able to be tuned.
1) Work out how much silicone you want by using a test...
