The new Yonex bags for 2024 are posted on the Japan site, and some players are carrying these new bags (Etcheverry). Is it the same one that will be sold in US retail outlets? My biggest gripe with Yonex is that their pro bags for years have been exclusive to the Japanese market, and they skimp...

Just saw the highlights of Soon-Woo Kwon beating PCB to get to the Adelaide quarters. Kwon is hitting very well with what looks like an isometric blacked out Yonex. Any ideas which one it is?

https://www.puntodebreak.com/2022/12/04/wta-125k-andorra-alycia-parks-aterriza-top100 Photo in link says it all. It's definitely a Yonex painted to look like a Dunlop. They did this for Wang Qiang when Dunlop signed her up to endorse the CX200 a couple of years ago, and now they are doing it...

Yonex just teased the new VCORE 2022 on Facebook (looks like a darker red/garnet color)…I find it odd since they just released the new EZONES literally a few weeks ago.

Any news on this? In her first round doubles match with Wozniacki, it's definitely not the Blade SW104 v7 paintjob...

I randomly saw Shuai Peng playing the USOpen qualies and saw that she was swinging a new Prince PJ. Is this the new Beast or Warrior PJ, which she previously used? Or a totally new line?

Dunlop just signed a deal with Qiang Wang, China's new #1 singles player, but it's blatantly obvious that there's still a Yonex VCORE SV98 under that Dunlop CX200 paintjob. Here she is at Indian Wells with her "Yunlop," where you can obviously see it has the pronounced triangular VCORE throat...

I haven’t seen a Barricade 2019 or a new Barricade Classic being introduced yet. Are they being killed off? I don’t see any new 2019 adidas shoe with the adiwear 6-month outsole warranty....

Has anyone had any luck travelling with Babolat Pure Line 12-pack bags as a carry on? That's my current bag. I was planning on using it to carry all my clothes and toiletries in addition to my 4 racquets. Thanks, in advance!

Anyone else notice that the pro tour bags that Yonex gives its pro players are completely different from the retail version? I bought mine from here, but was disappointed to see it only has one molded side compartment, whereas all the pros have two molded side compartments. Anyone know where I...

I've only seen the Pure Strike Bags (nice, but there's too much white that easily shows dirt), and I'm curious to see the Aero and Drive bags. Does anyone have pics?

I was watching the Agnieska Radwanska - Kimiko Date third set and saw Radwanska's racquet break completely off the handle on a backhand return. The racquet head broke off completely at the top of the handle....I've never seen that before! I'm wondering if that is something inherent in Cortex...

Any new developments with Mario Ancic? I know he is a lawyer now, and that he gave a guest lecture at Harvard Law this past spring semester. Among the things he spoke about at Harvard: law in pro sports, ATP legal issues, and endorsement contracts (surprise, surprise). I don't think his head...

I thought he retired from all the shoulder surgeries he's had? He's a wildcard in the main draw of the Malaysian Open, and he draws Lleyton Hewitt in the first round.

I was just perusing the Yahoo site and came through this: http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/photo?slug=bf3696a3eaa74912bc0d5127d83e7e62.argentina_russia_davis_cup_xnp102&prov=ap He made such a big fuss about his new Ozone in Miami, but now he is back to playing with the discontinued O3 Tour...

Does anyone know or have a complete list of official Olympic nominations for tennis? I know there are sponsor and shedule conflicts that already rules out some players, as Andy Roddick is defending his title in DC and Anna Chakvetadze is doing the same in Cincinnati. A complete list of main...

I think I know why Hingis has always had a penchant for 'powder white' racquets during her career... no PJ here. Notice the pronounced rounded edges of Nicole's RQis-2: http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/1/newsroom/stories/?ContentID=1904

I am nursing a ruptured achilles tendon and am anxious to get back on the courts. I know I have to start wearing ankle braces from now on to minimize a re-rupture. My question is: do you guys have any experience with other ankle braces other than the ASO (Roddick brace) one on TW? It seems a...

Reading a thread about so many pros switching brands made me think that there are only a handful of "lifers." Can anyone name any current (or former) top pros that have always been loyal to the same racquet brand since the junior circuit? I'll start it off: -Hingis and Yonex -Kournikova...

Ana-Lena Groenfeld swings and misses on a backhand, due to a broken racquet...? How did she break her Fisher right at the top of the handle? I've never seen this... Pic at mid-swing: http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/photo?slug=doh12702271648.qatar_tennis_open_doh127&prov=ap Another shot of...

for infringment? Clearly, James Blake is not using a Prince, but his "Prince Experimental" is hardly a Prince. The frame has Prince Logos and a Butt Cap, but it clearly is not a Prince engineered frame. Even the Blake camp admits that it's still his old frame underneath the markings. It's...

I've just now hit with the O3 tour Mid (funny their 95" is mid). It looked cool, but the 'wow' factor when playing with it was not there. My shots lacked the 'buttery' feel and it felt too powerful for me, almost like a trampoline (it was strung at 60#). My normal playing racquet is the...

All pros have some kind of rituals to keep them sane. Some are boring...like bounce the ball twice, some are unique. Do you know of any unique rituals? I've caught little things when I watch tennis, so I'll start it off... Sharapova... always brushes her left ear, then her right ear before...

I've been a Barricade II wearer for ages it seems. I've been circulating two for the past 4 years now. With the Barricade IV out, are the II's going to be completely discontinued now? It seems like adidas is doing that for the III's . I never really bothered with the BIII's anyways since I...

They're all over Europe: Here's a link to the Euro colors: http://www.tennispro.dk/index.php?cPath=692_736&osCsid=2dcb93cca5cbe49bb2daf6574a6c0b23 ________ Silver surfer review

I just found new Original Oscillates (Navy/White) shoes for $20- great deal, but they are clay shoes. I don't play on clay that much, but what happens when you use clay shoes on hard courts? If anyone has experience with doing that, I was just wondering if there were long term foot pain or...

Can someone explain where his game and head is right now? I know hovering around the top 40-50 is good for the pro ranks, but Schrichaphan was a top-tenner over a year ago. ________ AVANDIA CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS

I normally play better with non-widebodied, smaller-headed racquets, but I noticed that Babolat doesn't make any after going down a demo list of racquet companies. I am in love with VS gut, but am not impressed by their racquet offerings. Is Babolat engineering an 18-21mm, 85-93 sq. in racquet...
