Editor's Choices

My favorite, and arguably some of the best tennis gear of all time:

Racquets
  • Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph - Proven weight / balance combo paired with up-to-date racquet head size and string pattern, resulting in a great all-around frame.
  • Wilson Pro Staff 95 S (2014) - Wand-like, moves fast, creates a lot of spin, just not as stable and powerful as the RF97 or 6.1 95. 
  • Völkl Super G 9 - Very natural weight / balance / head size combo for me. Would have bought this frame if it came in an open string pattern - others who prefer control over power and spin should give this one a go.
