The body knows what it wants and it isn't work 🎾

Every doubles partner in 2026, probably 😂

The point's already over. That's never stopped anyone from having a full moment about it 😂

Which one is you? 👇

The racquet doesn't make the player. But everyone still wants to know what the pros are using.

Top 10 ATP players and their frames:

1️⃣ Jannik Sinner — Head Speed Pro
2️⃣ Alexander Zverev — Head Gravity Pro
3️⃣ Carlos Alcaraz — Babolat Pure Aero 98
4️⃣ Felix Auger-Aliassime — Babolat Pure Aero 98
5️⃣ Alex de Minaur — Wilson Ultra 99 Pro v5
6️⃣ Ben Shelton — Yonex EZONE 98
7️⃣ Novak Djokovic — Head Speed Pro
8️⃣ Daniil Medvedev — Tecnifibre TFight 305S
9️⃣ Flavio Cobolli — Head Radical Pro
🔟 Taylor Fritz — Head Radical MP

A couple of these come with an asterisk. What a pro plays with and what's on the shelf aren't always the same frame, and the paint job hides more than people think. 🎾

Our youngest Play Tennis Challenger just finished his twelve weeks 🎾

Oliver came in, played every week, and walked out with a new racquet and a whole lot more court time under his belt.

Ask him how it went and you get the most honest review we've had yet:

"It was really fun. I like to play tennis a lot."

Would he recommend it to someone else thinking about the challenge? Yeah. No hesitation 🎾

Nice work, Oliver. Enjoy that racquet.

Got a young player at home who's ready for this? Come talk to us, or DM us 'CHALLENGE' and we'll walk you through it.

Brand new racquet. Suddenly every ball is a drop shot and you're taking half swings.

It's a racquet. Go hit something. 😂

Some people join the challenge to stay active. Dao left it loving tennis.

She found us through a friend on social media, having never really played much of any sport. Twelve weeks later she still calls herself a beginner, but she says the love for tennis grew in her along the way.

Her favorite part wasn't the racquet. It was getting to know some really cool people.

"It's 12 weeks, once a week. There's really not much holding you back but yourself." 🎾

Thanks for being part of this, Dao. Enjoy the new gear 🎾

If you've been thinking about it, this is your sign. DM us 'CHALLENGE' and we'll walk you through it.

Most players never look at their grommets until something breaks.

Those little plastic pieces around the frame take the hit every time you scrape the racquet on the court going for a low ball. They wear down slowly, and you probably won't notice.

Here's why it matters: the grommets and bumper are what keep the court off the graphite. Once they're ground through, you're scraping the frame itself. 🎾

The good news is they're replaceable. We take the strings out, swap in new grommets, restring, and the racquet's protected again. A frame you take care of can last you 10+ years.

If it looks like the grinding is getting close to the frame, that's your sign to come in.
