RZ Says:

I shudder to think of what the stats would say for me if I used Babolat Play. I am the queen of mis-hits.


senorita Says:

I hope this helps him to improve his style and if he keeps healthy he should do well this year.


Humble Rafa Says:

I would love to see how the Arrogant One’s backhand drive fare with this. I say 10% off the middle of the racquet max.
