It’s time to check the mile marker on my tennis racquet journey. When I last paused to ponder, I was considering a switch from my Yonex RDS 003 to either the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 Tour or the ProKennex Black Ace 98. I’ve since put down the Black Ace. I still love it for baseline [...]

It had been a while since I’d regularly used natural gut, but I recently started to play around with some hybrids and full sets of gut after a nagging wrist injury just refused to go away.

So, when some sets of Becker Hero natural gut came into the office for testing, I quickly grabbed a [...]

Take me to Divorce Court, I’m done.
My body could no longer take the punishment; I had to get out before I really got hurt. It’s not because I didn’t love my old racquet, I did, and still do, but my body just couldn’t take the physical abuse. Who can I blame but myself? Like how [...]

Lately I’ve noticed many manufacturers are coming out with thinner replacement grips. Is this an emerging trend? I certainly hope so. Before I began testing a lot of racquets, I never knew how much I liked to feel the bevels of a racquet handle. The bevels are simply the edges that define the handle’s shape.

Guest blogger and Open level player Andy Gerst puts Volkl’s Cyclone string through its paces in this review.
A great new poly string being introduced to the market is the Volkl Cyclone string. It is a co-polymer polyester monofilament, designed to mimic the durability and control-oriented playability of a polyester while maintaining a bit more softness [...]

I could no longer resist the machine. It was just too tempting. I wanted to know how it would feel, how it would work. There’s no way it could replace a human, could it? I mean, I’ve dabbled in the past, but not like this.
The time had come; I was going to have a full [...]

For the longest time, it could be nothing but a Tourna Grip to adorn my racquet handle. Tourna Grip is known for its absorbent properties and even though it didn’t get too hot where I grew up, I still loved it.

Sure, durability would bite with Tourna Grip and after one set I should really [...]

I’ve hit a road block on this tennis journey of mine. (If you missed the first leg of my “journey,” check it out here.) I am being Ms. Indecisive. I’ve rekindled my fling with the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 Tour, and I’m still flirting with the ProKennex Black Ace 98. Every time the playtesters head [...]

If you like to hit with a lot of spin, this is a good time to be a tennis player. Today’s racquets are so fast, and today’s strings offer so much grip, at times the amount of spin that can be generated just seems wrong (but so much fun).
Of course, as players we still have [...]

Wimbledon 2009 is in the books and, it certainly did not disappoint. The tournament had a great blend of the expected, and unexpected which kept me glued to the television day after day.
There was a fortnight full of stories this year, some great matches. There was the epic Serena vs. Dementieva semi-final or the Murray [...]
