racket

Qualifier from the Philippines, Alexandra Eala, is having her breakthrough moment. Always a good time to discuss her racquet and specs.

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...

is the qc better now? what is an expected spec?

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...

Funny take by good sport Machac and a ahh... sorry by Sinner. Not the first time he has broken some equipment - not his racket - on the tour:

https://ibb.co/z62SYpw https://ibb.co/7pcJTNY 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 Link for images: https://ibb.co/9sjqvRJ https://ibb.co/6FLbN3T

Hello everyone. Say they finally launch it. What would be your ideal beam profile? Flex? Sw? And so on..

My suspicion is only with these 2 writings, these writings are not straight. I'll include the picture as well.

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...

I'm an intermediate player and have been using the Head IG Youtek Radical Pro (2012) for as long as I remember. My existing sticks need replacing and I wouldn't mind a little extra control, but I'm keen to find a similar blend of racket-head mass, mortal-friendly static weight, and most of all...

Hello, I have noticed in my tennis game that I have an extremely short swing motion ([semi]-western grip, small grip size and a lot of wrist action) and therefore produce a lot of spin but little power. As this is my natural swing and all attempts to change it with the trainer failed, I thought...

Hi all, I am currently a UTR 10.5 junior, and have struggled with wrist issues (TFCC) for around a year in my freshman and sophomore year (currently a senior). This was mainly due to technique, hitting with better players a bit too fast, and using a 2019 Pure Aero with 55 pounds of poly. I now...

Hello, i am recovering from a Rotator Cuff Injury. The doctor cannot say if it s because of tennis in generale, or because of the heavy racket. Im using a ezone 98 2022 with pt rev. To recover i am doind exercise and PT Should i start thinking about changing racket? If yes what should i...

Looking for some racket help as demoing in the UK has become very difficult! I’m an aggressive baseliner with a single handed backhand, typically hitting a flatter ball rather than heavy top spin. Have played for 15+ years, and am currently at a 5.0. I’m coming from a Wilson Blade 98 but find...

https://www.thetennisinsider.com/post/wilson-blade-v8-16x19-2023-us-open-racket-release-early-access-best-price Only the Blade 16x19 and Clash 100. Both have the US Open logo on them, pretty cool. I guess the Noir ones aren't happening anymore?

Hi guys I’m a strong club player that has been using a babolat pure control 95 + for the past 12 years and looking to possibly move on to a newer frame but haven’t played with anything else in that time (Used to play with a Pure drive but not enough control). Wondering if it’s worth moving on...

I have only one racket that has named "Wilson Federer 100". I've been using this racket for 4 years and want to switch to a pro racket.(6 months ago i added lead to the grip-side , normally the racket is 290g but now it's 320g. The lead addition was necessary because my racket was HH because of...

For a long time I played with a Pure Aero and I love the spin but could never hit the ball freely because my balls would sail long too often. Then I tryed a Wilson Clash 100 and got hooked! With low powered strings it really fits my game, It is so easy to maneuver that I can really whip the...

Hi everyone, I know there are a few posts about tennis and golfers elbow, but mainly for men rather than women and I am struggling to find a racket I can play with for longer than an hour without pain - assuming it is possible..... I am 55 and started playing tennis regularly again after 35...

are there racket/string combinations which maximize playability? if there are, which combinations would stay playable on court for the longest without sacrificing too much comfort or performance? I think the obvious answer would be a tighter stringbed (18x20) with maybe a kevlar gut hybrid...
