Tennis Influence

A couple of weeks ago Wilson has announced they will be selling limited edition blade and burn rackets. Since they went on sale two days ago I wanted to explain what the difference is. There isn't much of a difference actually, the colors are switched so now there's more green and red instead of mainly black rackets, but other than that are there even any differences? They still feature Wilson's special Countervail technology, and the specs haven't changed. But they DO have Matte finishes, pretty tempting, right? But there is no difference in price or specs so it's just which color scheme you prefer really. Wilson hasn't yet said when they will stop selling them. Link to buy them is here:   limited edition blade and burn

When it comes to buying a new racket there are a lot of things to look for, I am here to discuss string pattern with you. Pros and cons of the 18x20 less spin less power more control better feel recommended for advanced tennis players (3.5+) requires more muscle Pros and cons of the 16x19/18 more spin  adequate power less feel less control easier to use and good for intermediate and beginners less muscle What about the 18x16 or other spin patterns? These are less common and harder to find they offer more spin and depth but aren't too offensive, they are more for baseliners. Few players use spin patterns one is Grigor Dimitrov who uses an all out 15x16 spin pattern. The problem with spin patterns are the strings move around a lot and break easier so you have to use either a hybrid pattern or synthetic string so it breaks less.
