So if you watched some of Karen Khachanov’s matches at the Indian Wells you might notice he is back with Wilson.
Following on of the previous posts about Karen’s racket, when I talked about his switch to a Head racket with lots of lead tape and how it doesn’t seem to work for him, I can now say that Karen though the same.
He is now back in some great form it seems as he is playing some good tennis again.
I’m not sure how did he work out the sponsorship deals with Wilson and Head, as he is constantly switching brands, but I would think that Head must not be happy about that. But I can say that he learned the hard way, that weighting up different rackets to the same specifications will just not be the same.
Thank you so much for running this blog.
Excellent, excellent information that is key to playing a very high level of tennis. It’s amazing to me how many people at the ground of the game fail to see this information and how it impacts every aspect of a player–including high level coaches. I’m going to release a video soon on the full customization process on YouTube and advertise it on the forums to democratize this information. I’d love a feature on your site if possible.
The biggest group that is hit from a lack of racquet technology information is college players–so many incredibly physical and strong players are limited in their game because they’ve simply never been in touch with an MRT or someone that knows customization. I’ve seen it first hand, being a D1 college player myself on a team with ranked players. The players are forced to just defend in certain situations when they could be playing offensive or finishing the point due to low swingweight, low static weight frames with tweener specs meant for 4.0s and junior players. It’s a shame.
Thank you, it means a lot that people like you can find value in my content. I’d love to see your video and possibly promote it. You can contact me via my e-mail for details or if you need some help etc. Always looking to share and help sharing the knowledge.
