What is “Soft”?

Jul 3

Posted by

For many years, we have been testing string for elongation and subsequent power potential.

There is a new batch of strings that include the term “soft” in the promotional language, seemingly in an effort to mitigate the injuries associated with very stiff strings.

At some point, we can go into detail about how the soft version of a string compares to the non-soft version; however, for now, I want to reintroduce you to a post we did in 2016… almost ten (10) years ago!

Thank you for reading this again.  It is important “Play Harder not Hurter™”

The Consumer and SBS

Jun 13

Sting Bed Stiffness (SBS) could be considered alongside performance cars. In the simplest of terms, a high-performance car requires some understanding of what it is going to do; otherwise, you will end up in the trees or worse!

The same with String Bed Stiffness (SBS). If you don’t know what it is going to do, you may end up in the fence!

Right here…Right now! Squared

Apr 3

Posted by

The brand new Head Squared racquets are here, but we don’t expect them to be here long!  This is a much-anticipated arrival, and we are excited to show and talk about this racquet.

Head Squared…Here!

In a “nutshell,” this racquet departs from some norms.  That is the Dual Tube foam-filled addition to the shaft, enhancing comfort and calmness.
A 16 x 18 string pattern that offers easy access to deep ball contact.
The overall weight is ideal for aggressive, stable play, and the swing weight makes it easy to handle… and fun!
You can see all the technical stuff in the previous post, but the real way to see the racquet is to be here.
Before it is too late!
