Andy Murray And His Head Radical - Why No Switch?

Andy Murray - New Head Radical Tennis Racquet - Head Rackets - YOUTEK Radical

Andy Murray, the Scottish tennis professional, said to the tennis company, Head that he would switch racquets.

The plan was for Murray to stop using the Head Microgel Radical Tennis Racket, and start using the Head YOUTEK Radical Pro.



The switch was supposed to be just before Wimbledon.

If you've been watching, you've seen Murray using the old Microgel Radical, which has been discontinued!

Apparently, the Scot decided not to use the YOUTEK, or even do a paintjob on his Microgel.

We're told he just wanted everything about his new stick to be the same, even cosmetically, because he likes the Microgel so much.

So what we have is Head's "franchise player" who was supposed to carry the new racquet series, still playing with the old version at the biggest tournament in the world.

He's giving tons of exposure to the racquet that we don't even have anymore (We're working on finding more).

I guess now, the plan is for Murray to switch to the YOUTEK Radical after Wimbledon.

But what if he wins Wimbledon with the Microgel?

What then?

Would he really want to switch?

Either way, the YOUTEK racquets play very well, and sell accordingly.

Demo one if you don't believe me.

I'll even throw in a free gift.

Cheap move, I know.

So the big guy isn't using it, but we'll get over it.

Email us, Call us or buy the new Head YOUTEK Radicals through the site.

Oh, and mention this blog post to get a free Natural Gut string job.

Thanks for playing in The Zone.

Adidas Barricades - The New Summer Line Is Here... and Hot

Adidas Barricade V Tennis Shoes - New Adidas Shoes - Andy Murray Adidas Shoe - Adidas Summer Tennis Shoe Line - Barricades

Hey Adidas fans... NEWSFLASH!



The new kicks are in, and looking better than ever.

These shoes are great, when i first looked at these shoes i was hooked.



From the style to the playability these shoes top the charts!

The new Barricades are great for the hard courts and i found great comfort and grab on the clay as well.



If you go through shoes too quickly, like most competitive tennis players, the Barricades won't let you down with now even more outsoul protection.

Just buy them.

If you hate them (you would be in the minority), I'm sure you'll find someone at your club to sell them to... because they are the hottest shoes in tennis.

Adidas guarantees these shoes will last six months.

If you have doubts, try them, wear them out, and get a brand new pair, as long as you finish them off within six months.

Taking Orders For Old And New Asics

Hi Asics fans.

What a long day.

I worked at the shop, did a few tennis lessons downtown and then went on a 9-mile run...

...And the Asics helped me get through it all... comfortably.

At the shop, I wore the Gel Resolution 2 (far right, $90).

I broke them in, and even sold a couple (a couple shoes, so one pair).

For my lessons, I wore the Gel Resolution from 2008 (far left, $75).



For my run, I wore the runners (second from left, $100).

You see the duct tape, I'm sure.

That's my Nike Plus receiver taped to the tongue, because I like to time my runs, but I switched to Asics for my running needs.

I then went out for the evening, and boom - three comments from three different people about my old, worn down Asics "Tigers" (second from right 85$), which I bought at Urban Outfitters several years ago.

Currently, we don't sell Asics through our website, but contact us with an order and we'll get a pair right out to you, shipped free.

Play In The Zone, and we'll take good care of you.

Tennis Rackets - Free Natural Gut, Free Shipping, Through Friday

tennis rackets free shipping - tennis equipment free shipping - free natural gut

Hello Tennis Zone Customers!

I posted this to Twitter, and we got a couple sales, so I'm posting it here too, without the character limit...

For the rest of the week, we are offering free stringing with Babolat Tonic + Natural Gut Tennis String, anytime you buy a full-size racket from The Tennis Zone!

If Tonic isn't your thing, you can choose from any another string at the same price ($31.99).

Come play in the zone (or order online), and find out what Natural Gut is all about.

If you have elbow issues, try natural gut, and prepare to feel, well, most likely nothing.

Hitting the ball should feel a little more like hitting a marshmallow, because the gut absorbs vibration, only letting your arm feel enough to place the ball.

I highly recommend Tonic, especially to a hard-hitting all-courter looking for more precision.

Play in the Zone.

Thanks for checkin out the blog.

Babolat Pure Drive GT Series - On Sale Now!

Babolat Pure Drive GT - New Andy Roddick Racket - Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT

You've seen Andy Roddick playing with it, and until now, all you've noticed is that it's a different type of blue.

Actually, as far as updates to the previous frame go, that's the biggest one.



I have hit with both standard-size versions though, and I think there might be a little more feedback in the newer frames, instead of the stiffer feel of last season's Pure Drives.

Maybe it's in my head.

Anyhow, the Babolat Pure Drive GT Series is for sale now at TheTennisZone.com.

Each racquet in the series has the same make-up and specs as its previous version.

One difference is the blending of Tungsten and Graphite in he frame for a slight change in feel.

I don't know.

Maybe there's no significant difference.




Just demo one, and let us know your thoughts.

Either way, it's a fun racquet to use, especially the lightest version.

When you demo, remember that you'll get a discount when you decide to buy (from us, of course).

Be sure to check out the listing for the updated Babolat Drive Z Lite, too!

Go Babolat.
