racquet

Many ppl on this forum want more power in the rackets, why not just string 2-5kg looser, won't there be same effect as you get more trampoline effect, which is essentially what a thicker/stiffer beam provides?

Hey guys, I’m looking for a racquet that feels like a “wall” at net, the kind where you just put the racquet out and the ball goes back deep with almost no effort. I really value: - Stability (no twisting on impact) - Solid, firm feel on volleys - Easy depth on punch/block volleys (ball...

I’ve played with this racquet for three years. My primary stringer refuses to restring it, claiming the frame is cracked, likely to avoid liability if it snaps on the machine. A second shop inspected it and suggested it’s just a deep paint scratch. I’m conflicted because the first stringer is...

Just now, Yu Zhen said that the "dull" sound indicates a stickier ball, and a racket with more vibration and crispness might seem to produce better ball output. Actually, I think it's a technological flaw. I've been using the 23 pa racket, basically, but it's also terrible. I don't think the 23...

Hi there, Can someone help me identify the age and origin of this Wilson Ultra 2 and give an idea of value/ best place to sell? Any advice would be warmly appreciated! Jay https://files.catbox.moe/p9kfwm.jpeg https://files.catbox.moe/dxeer7.jpeg https://files.catbox.moe/0wm7la.jpeg...

Noticed this racquet going around junior circles - Hevini Solution 1. Anybody ever try it? Supposedly, Hevini is a small shop just getting in the tennis racquet industry. Technical Specs Head Size: 97 sq in / 625.8 cm² Unstrung Weight: 300g / 10.6 oz Balance: 6 pts Head Light (32.5 cm)...

So I have been using the Diadem 98 racquet for the last couple of months. I use it with co-poly string from TruPro. I am someone who plays with a lot of topspin to begin with and this racquet has provided me with additional spin but I noticed that I do need to string it at a higher tension...

It varies from player to player but I’ve come across players who can’t/ don’t use certain colors of racquets. Personally, I don’t like neon or white colored racquets. My justification is that the bright color distracts me from watching the ball. It shows up in my peripheral vision and throws me...

Raw graphite? wonder what it is if this is just a limited paint job that looks the same as auxetic 1.0 because sinner won’t use any other paint job. that would be the worst case scenario.

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

Hi everyone, I’ve been playing tennis for 1.5 years (30M) and primarily play doubles, relying on a topspin forehand, a two-handed flat backhand, and strong net play (volleys & poaching). I self-rate as a 3.5 player. Currently, I use a VCORE Pro 100L strung with Solinco Confidential at 50/48...

I have always pulled tension on every cross and main but was talking to a high level player a few days ago and while we were talking about stringing he mentioned that he pulls tension every other cross, which would mean all the tension on the same side every time and seems like a not-so-good...

Hi everyone, I recently demoed the Wilson Blade V9 Pro 16x19 and loved how it felt! However, I’m new to customizing rackets and would like some advice on how to add lead tape to my current Wilson V9 16x19 to match the specs of the Pro version. Here are the specs of my current rackets: 1...

First off, happy holidays and end of the year to all (and if you don’t celebrate anything, happy end of the year to you too)! I’m trying to expand my racquet collection (calling it a collection is modest), and I know there’s going to be a rush of new releases in January. What certain sales...

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 ?

I like collecting some racquets myself, and I’ve recently been hooked on this Wilson Six.One 95 18x20 v13, even with probably a 350g weight (dunno about SW but it’s not customized with my strings being Diadem Solstice Black 1.20 @54 lbs). Before that, I loved my Head Extreme MP 2022 when I put...

I’m gonna buy new tennis racquet so which one is better Wilson blade or yonex ezone?? I have played tennis like one year and my old racquet was Wilson six one 95 2017 and I’m not powerful player also I have tecnifibre T fight rsl 2021 version

Hello, Returning player here. Played in my junior years a lot and mainly used Head Prestige Pro (98) and Pro Staff Six-one 95 (red and white) back then which were hand downs from older siblings. Now I still have those and have been playing with them and I'm not really sure I like them any more...

Hello everyone! I play regularly and have been taking lessons for 2 years (previously, I only played occasionally as a self-taught player), and I'd like to start understanding a little more about racquet features and maybe find a new one for an upgrade. Here’s where I’m at: I’m 37, 170 cm tall...

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

I have been using a Head TiS6 up until now playing at a low level but have recently started playing more seriously and am looking to upgrade to a nicer racquet. I find the TiS6 too light and uncontrollable and am not a fan of the frame or string pattern. I am a base line player with a two handed...

I've tried the ezone 98, but it trashes my elbow, vcore 98 trashes my wrist, and percept/vcore 97 are way too underpowered even with lead tape. Should I try any of the percept 100s? I've also tried the blade 98 v8 and v9 and theyre just too launchy for me. I tried the shift 16x20 and the strings...

Hi, I'm new here. Looking info about I racquet I have. Tretorn 5 steel 2in1 Does anyone know when it was made? Or any other specifications about it?

I currently love the feel of the Ultra Pro 16x19, but haven't been able to get my hands on the extreme tour 2020. How do they compare?

Played a match the other night against a friend a bit lower rated than I and we came up with a fun twist on the Gun Game from First Person Shooter games. I'm sure we're not the first to do this but it certainly is a blast! You start with your primary racquet but each game you win you must...

How do these racquets compare to the TF40?

I'm considering switching to one of the vcore models, I've demoed both but the strings were both really bad and it wasn't the best experience For people who've played with them, how do the following compare? Spin Ease of power Sweet spot Stability for context I'm a 2.5 utr player

Hey guys! UTR 8 player here, competing in 5.0 USTA tournaments. Currently have been playing with head speed MP since 2016. Specs are 340g strung and 323sw. Unfortunately the new speeds just aren’t for me. Constant cracking of frames during play. I’m looking for a racquet that has similar level...

…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.

Hi all, seeking racquet advice-- For my first four years of playing, I've used a Pure Drive. As a former collegiate soccer player who employs a counter-punching style, I've weaseled my way up to a 4.5 ladder. Eastern, flat-ish forehand; top spinny defensive 2HBH; lots of drop shots/variety in...
