racquet

Hello all, I am a 67 year old looking for a racquet recommendaion. I have been playing tennis for over 30 years and had to give up tennis a couple of years ago due to injuries. I have/had knee problems, tennis elbow, wrist injury and a rotating cuff tear. I have recovered enough to play now but...

My go-to tension is 48lbs for my DR98s and Ezone 98s. How about you guys?

I have recently strung more racquets and usually I hit them against the heel of my palm after stringing them. When hitting them against the heel of my palm, without dampener, I almost always feel vibrations. The lighter the racquet the stronger the vibration. Now that we clarified the...

I remember in the 90s and 2000s, the majority of players used to have their string provider's stencilled onto the bottom of the racquet, underneath the stencil logo of their racquet e.g. Sampras used a Wilson racquet so had a 'W' stencilled on his racquet and below was the Babolat stencil lines...

This is a racquet I received yesterday for stringing. And I remembered back in the day it was one of the racquets I played and enjoyed it. I didn't own one, it was just another racquet in a stack of racquets that my coach had for students to use. Now I recognized the model and I am curious if...

Does anyone know the racquet stencil dimensions for Wilson, Babolat or Head stencil logos? Thanks.

I recently heard the Tennis Warehouse podcast about classic racquets (here) (which was really good by the way), and it really made me wonder how ball pocketing (or as some of the playtesters say "plush feeling") affects topspin generated by a racquet. I understand the science behind how, when...

This Wilson racquet is from a photo taken around 1997 or so, I'm wondering if anybody recognizes the model, I would definitely appreciate it, its very hard to Google for:

Hi: I played lots of tennis at highschool. I just owned one racquet: a Wilson Six one team (290 gr. unstrung, 18x20 pattern, red racquets with white stripes at 3 and 9). I liked that racquet, and used it during 5 or 6 straight years playing around 6 hours each week. Whenever I couldn't use that...

Hi there, Talk Tennis. I wrote a paper on the meaning of racquet specifications, how to choose a racquet, and racquet customization. Here's a link. Hope some of you out there might find it a good resource. Thanks!

As a delayed knee-jerk reaction (oxymoronic, I know) to threads wondering "what if pros swapped racquets?", I created this thread to list out current racquet specs used by the Big 3 (or at least the most recent specs I can glean from the internet), and what I think it means for their games...

I love this racquet a little lead at 3 and 9 leather grip and this baby is ready to go. Who else is on the Yonex train and why?

I have two racquets: A Head Prestige and a Head Speed. Now I never ever break my strings. So when I go to the shop, should I ask them not to prioritize durability or something?

Am I the only one who thinks Fed should go up to 100 square inch racquet head? I think he could run a few more years if he increases the headsize once more.

I just stumbled on this — most of you probably know of it, but I thought I'd share for those who don't. It's pretty rad to be able to organize strings and racquets on a graph to compare them visually: https://www.racketlogger.com/string-explorer
