Breaking strings weekly — tennis racket demo shortlist

Change strings first? Start with the string setup. Discuss gauge, material and where the break occurs with your stringer before replacing the frame.

Head Radical MP 2025

Try it if you make your own pace and want to see whether your placement sharpens up on rallies, serves and volleys.

The smaller head asks for more accurate contact than a 100 sq in frame. Check your timing in the last half-hour, not just the first.

Wilson Blade 100 v10

Try it if you like the Blade but find a 98 sq in head unforgiving. It’s listed at 300 g, against 305 g for the Blade 98.

A bigger head doesn’t automatically mean more pace. If depth is your main problem, try the EZONE 100 as well.

Tecnifibre T-Fight 300S 2025

Try the T-Fight 300S if you want to compare a frame for singles and doubles and can handle its 300 g nominal frame weight throughout a full session.

Check depth and directional control with your normal swing. Published weight and head size cannot predict your own result.

Leave this out of the first demo

Babolat Pure Aero Gen9: A spin-focused frame still needs a full swing. Demo it alongside a more neutral racket and compare control on flatter shots, returns and volleys. This is a poor first comparison for this problem, not a verdict on the racket.
