This is my third thread in span of half an hour. Hope that doesnt break some rules. I was away from this forum for a long time, so I have a lot to share :)
Anyways - very recently I bought Wilson Blade 100 V9. I must admit, I totally fell for the reviews on TW suspecting most of it was pure...
Hello, I have a thought experiment for you.
Lets say we have two same rackets:
Both are 328 g static weight (mass), 332 swingweight, 5 pts head light (towards handle tip).
Now I add 10 grams to the bottom of handle of racket 2 (at 0 cm position).
This presumably doesnt change SW of racket 2...
Especially at the net, does a higher twistweight make volleys easier when contact is made off-center?
In typical doubles situations, fast exchanges, reflex volleys, aggressive net approaches, and balls coming at you laterally, what should I prioritize more in a racquet? Higher twistweight...
Did anyone notice this?
It's clear that there's a line that comes all the way down from the throat/lower hoop that circles round above the Yonex logo at the top of the handle.
If we compare to photos from his title winning campaign in Basel, it's easy to see that it's a completely...
Yonex offer a heavier (315g+) racket in all their lines, something not all brands do.
My question is, which one do you think is best and why?
- Ezone 98 Tour
- Percept 97H
- Vcore 98 Tour
- Vcore 95 (310g)
From my opinion, the most “pro-stock feel” racket out of all of these is the Percept 97H.
What I mean by this, when you're on and have ''mastered'' all your strokes, which racket gives most bang for your buck. For example (not saying I have mastered anything) but when I feel like i'm playing really well and use the pa98, no matter how hard I try I just can't get the right feeling of...
Wilson H2 100 v1.0 Stringing Pattern?
https://www.anthem-sports.com/wilson-h-2-100-tennis-racket.html
I've been looking for the stringing pattern for this racket with no luck. Does anybody know the stringing instructions for this racket?
Hi everyone :) I am new here. I'm an intermediate-advanced player looking to upgrade my racket. After researching online, I've narrowed it down to: Head Speed MP, Yonex Ezone 100/98, Babolat Pure Drive, Head Gravity Tour, Yonex VCore and Pure Aero. Wilson Ultra 99 would also be an option, but...
I use the Yonex Ezone 100+ 7th Gen (2022).
I really love the racket. I checked out the specs of the new 8th gen 100+ online and it’s a bit different. SW, Balance, etc.
If you use the 100+ 7th gen and try out the new 8th gen, feel free to drop your opinions.
In the Tfight thread there was some discussion about the advertised beam profiles didn't match what people measured.
I'm curious if you guys have other racquets where you noticed that.
Surely 0.5-1mm difference won't matter much in the end but I find it interesting nonetheless.
To start with...
I’ve seen a lot of college and pro players use tweener sticks. If they can play with these, should we too ? Is it the right racquet for them even if they hit long a lot ?
Hello Everybody
I was wondering if anyone could explain what exactly the Swingweight is, how it's calculated, what is says about the racket and how it feels or what things it benefits in my game.
Also I wanted to know how the Swingweight is going to change when the Balance is changed e.g by...

Hello, I was wondering if someone know what model/specs are of these rackets. The only thing I know is that they are Prince from the precision series.
Pd: I’m new to tennis and also wanted to know if an old stick like the Prince precision spectrum...
I just noticed that some of the grommets on my racket are literally smashed from the knots? Is it dangerous for the frame itself and do I need to replace those

I'm a 20-year-old 4.0 (aggressive baseliner with one-hand backhand) and have been playing since I was around 8, including random hiatus where I would take a year off and then pick it back up before dropping it again a few months later. My first adult racket was the Wilson 6.0 85 and I played...
Hey guys, thanks for reading, and and for context-
I'm a 33 year old 4.5 who's been playing since I was ~5 (including a 15 year hiatus). During the plandemic I started taking tennis more seriously, entered some rec leagues and started playing quite often. Until recently I was using my high...
Hello, I just bought an expensive second hand “new” racket, but I feel like this grommet was damaged because of a previous knot there, is it a problem like that and can a broken grommet damage the racket?
Hello guys, we have learned that next year we'll have gravity 98 16x19 from tw's last video. This means Head's 98 silo will be more crowded than ever. Radical mp, radical pro, prestige pro, prestige pro 16x19, extreme tour, boom pro and as a last gravity 98. Having lots of options always good...
Hey fellow tennis tennisnerds, I’m looking for a new stick and I’m sure that you tennis enthusiasts could help me with your thoughts and recomendations.
I’m sharing my racket journey to help you understand my situation:
-I played with a pure aero child model in well, my childhood. I liked...
…after becoming the posterboy for Speed 2024, which was launched on 18th January?
Indian Wells is now the third tournament after AO and Rotterdam where we see Sinner still using racquets with the old paintjob, doesn’t make any sense from marketing perspective.
To the people who own one or the other, how does it play? whats the main difference?
I want to buy one, but i am stuck between the two. I wish I could demo it, but no one near me has them to demo.
17 y/o, aggressive baseliner, likes to finish at the net, 2HBH
I'm a HS tennis player that is trying to figure out what new racket to get before season comes. I've been using a BABOLAT PURE STORM TENNIS for a little over a year now and overall it has been a positive experience although I haven't used too many rackets throughout my time playing tennis so I...
