New racquets from Prince are here!

And our playtesters take a deep dive to tell you all about the new Prince Ripstick and Synergy 98! From a super powerful racquet to a unique new string pattern, our team talks about the good and challenging aspects of both of these new, modern frames! 

Prince Ripstick 100: With this racquet Prince has created a powerful modern player's racquet with above average comfort for the breed. At 11.2 ounces strung, the Ripstick is not only fast enough for intermediate players, it also packs a near 330 swingweight, giving it enough stability and plow through to tempt the more advanced ball striker. This racquet's comfortable feel comes partly from the extra large O-Ports that surround the hitting area. Prince has delivered an impressive weapon to intermediate players in search of power. The arm-friendly comfort is a nice bonus.

Prince Synergy 98: An impressive weapon with controllable power and outstanding feel. At 11.4 ounces strung this stick is mobile enough for intermediates, but it also packs a beefy 330+ RDC swingweight, which means it has enough stability and plow through for the advanced ball striker. In addition to its control-oriented 98 square inch head, this racquet has an 18x18 string pattern, giving it impressive precision when driving the ball through the court. Other features include a uniquely textured aerodynamic surface (for easier acceleration) along with a CTS beam, which is thinner in the shaft (for better feel) and thicker in the head (for extra power and stability). Experienced players looking for a stable player's racquet with outstanding feel and controllable power should love this one.

This episode is sure to leave a smile on your face and leave you feeling motivated to chase your dreams. This is the story of Lebelo Mosehle, a tennis player who's life has changed due to his passion and love for tennis paired with his determined discipline to succeed in life. 

He started playing tennis at the age of 6 in Lesotho, Africa. His family of 5 lived off an $80 salary. Lebelo was first introduced to tennis when he would find stray balls at courts and sell them until finally the local coach encouraged him to try the sport;  he was a natural. In this episode, Lebelo tells his story and elaborates on the adversities he's faced. From only getting one pair of shoes a year and playing barefoot and bloody, to arriving to the United States in the wrong city with $20 in his pocket, this man's story is inspiring! Now, he runs a Tennis Academy in Florida and encourages and inspires players of all ages to have fun and accomplish anything they dare to dream!

It's here. The great debate of 2024...high vs. low tension! Our crew of playtesters had 2 racquets strung very high and very low and took to the courts to see what they enjoyed better. But not just that, they tested their accuracy, depth, spin, feel, etc. as they were fed balls and hit at targets. And after that, they jumped in the podcast studio to debate their preferences and choose a side: HIGH or LOW Tension!

Join Oak, Troy, Munish and Michelle as they talk through this experiment and let us know what you want us to debate and test next!

We know you love the classic line of Head Prestiges as much as we do! So it was easy for a few of us to come together and talk about the heritage of these racquets and all the nostalgia around the new intro of the Prestige Classic 2.0! Sporting the iconic maroon color that was introduced with the Prestige Pro 600 in the late 80s, this racquet is not only a great collectible, but it also offers a truly phenomenal hitting experience. With its compact head, thin 19.5mm beam, dense string pattern and low RA the Prestige Classic 2.0 delivers the buttery feedback and mindless precision of a bygone era. That said, this is no mere clone of the original. Head spent over a year experimenting with different layups in order to create a slightly more stable and powerful response without losing the sublime feel that has attracted generations of players. The upshot, according to our TW playtesters, is a more modern Prestige Classic, one that makes it easier to get the ball moving through the court. That said, even without Twaron, this modern remake still captures the magical playability that has defined this racquet since its release over 30 years ago.

We tried to answer all your questions in terms of who has played with the Prestiges from the past and which one this plays closest to as well as what makes this racquet a must have!

Quinn Borchard is living the tennis life in all the ways. As a former top SoCal junior and top college player, he also spent some time playing on the pro & ITF circuit. Now in his 30s, he competes in National Tournaments, has collected a few gold balls and even dabbles in pickleball. Plus, he is the Head Pro at Sunset Hills in Thousand Oaks, CA and has created one of the top young junior programs in the country for kids under the age of 14. On top of all that and maybe most importantly, he is a Dad (and husband!) and has two sons playing tennis at different levels which all equates to the fact he is learning to balance being a dad and a coach for a top up and coming junior player. 

In this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of junior tennis -- from the perspective of the kids, from the perspective of the coaches and from the perspective of the the parents. Quinn's son, James, has recently found much success and won the Little Mo's International Tournament last month and is able to discuss the quick success but also how important making it "fun" really is. And what happens when your other kids aren't finding the same success or even talent or desire as the other players in your family?! 

We also talk about junior gear and finding the right set up for your junior player -- when to switch to bigger racquets, what strings to try, what shoes are best, etc.

It isn't every day you have the opportunity to speak with a pioneer in the tennis industry. In today's episode, Brad Parks, the founder of Wheelchair Tennis, share his story with Talk Tennis. He discusses his life-changing accident which left him as a paraplegic and put him in a wheelchair at 18 years old. Turning lemons into lemonade, Brad quickly decided he would play tennis, and the rest is history. 

The sport began to grow in the 1980s and today, wheelchair tennis is played in nearly 100 countries. There are wheelchair tournaments at all 4 Grand Slams. It is a recognized sport at the Paralympics and the Wheelchair Tennis Tour comprises more than 150 tournaments in 41 countries.

His story is inspiring. In 2010, he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, he is a 3-time Grand Slam winner, a former number 1 and a Gold Medal Winner. And because of him, the sport of wheelchair tennis is flourishing! 

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we had capturing it!

Will tells us about the "Watch more DOUBLES" campaign and we discuss all things doubles on the WTA and ATP tour. We talk through some of the trending pro doubles players and discuss their current gear (racquet, strings, shoes, etc.) of choice and why it pairs so well with their game (or we discuss if we think they could switch out to something else) and what sets them apart and makes them such a strong doubles player! We also name a few to keep an eye on as the year progresses!

Luisa Stefani is beaming and giddy as she joins us in San Jose, CA a day after arriving from Japan with her Bronze Medal proudly adorned around her neck to tell us her story about her last minute trip to Tokyo. Having battled some injuries and illnesses keeping her out of important tournaments, Luisa accepted the opportunity to represent her country just wasn't in the cards for her in 2021 and instead took a trip out of town and was ready to enjoy some time with her team celebrating birthdays and life off the court. But, after receiving a last minute call, she quickly packed her bags and headed to Tokyo for a life changing experience where she partnered with a long time friend, competed for her country (Brazil) in women's and mixed doubles, and got to check off a massive bucket list item off her list. In this episode, she talks about her mindset, obstacles she faced, the experience, her team, meeting other athletes and so much more while sharing how her and her partner captured the first medal in tennis for Brazil!

She's one of the fiercest competitors on the WTA Tour but also one of the friendliest and she just wants to walk on the court carrying a puppy! Kristie Ahn reached a career high on the WTA Tour in 2019 and still is one of the most humble, kindest, smartest players on tour. Super down to earth in everything she does, she chats not only about the highlights she had on the court but also what she loves to do off the court. From taking pride in being a Korean American player and building up her fellow competitors, to playing music with her friends and obsessing over Korean noodle dishes, you will hear how this lady would be a great a role model for any up and comer! Listen in as Kristie shows her true personality.   Follow Kristie: https://www.instagram.com/kahn1/   Questions or want to continue the conversation?!
