My buddy Gryffin (UTR 12, former D1) switched to the Wilson Defyer 98. Then he beat me 6-2, 6-3.

My dad and I broke down the match clip by clip. When I came to the net, I won 71% of the points. Then I stopped.

If you've ever dropped a plan that was working when the score got close, this one's for you.

Was it the racquet or me? Tell me in the comments.

I play and coach every day, so I'm always testing strings.

This time I strung up 3 hybrids at 52 lbs, all with Sync in the cross:

🟢 Vivo + Sync
🔵 Zero + Sync
⚫ Slap + Sync

One was the most crispy and controlled. One was the most comfortable. And one I think is going to work best for most players.

Honestly, one of these might be the reason I liked the 100 Defyer so much 👀

Guess which one won. Then watch the full test and see if you're right.

I didn’t expect to say this, but after a few weeks with the Wilson Defyer 100, I think I actually like it more than the 98.

It gives me a lot of what I want from a 100 without feeling like a typical power frame.

But there’s one thing holding it back and it bothered me enough that I already started adding lead to it.

I hadn’t really played tennis in 3 weeks… then had just 5 days to get ready for a professional tennis tournament in Tunisia. 🎾🇹🇳

What followed was a pretty wild trip, some crazy weather, 5:30 AM practices, no tennis balls 😬, and a draw that definitely didn’t do me any favours.

This one is a little different for us and probably one of our favourite videos we’ve put together.

There's a tennis player out there named Teo Davidov who plays completely differently from everyone else — two forehands, two serves, two volleys, zero backhands.

Everything mirrored, both sides.

I'd been watching his game and got curious what it would actually feel like to play that way. So I tried it for a day.

Turns out it's a lot harder than it looks — my brain genuinely could not keep up with the grip switching. Full video is up now if you want to see how it went (and how I did in real points against my dad).

My dad's 55. He played pro hockey, picked up tennis late, and has maybe played a handful of real competitive matches in his whole life. Now he wants to start playing Masters tennis and he asked me to help him get ready.

So today I did something I've been wanting to do for a while: I sat him down and broke down his entire game on camera. Forehand, backhand, serve, return, movement — all of it. Turns out the hockey background actually explains a lot about his game that I never connected until now.

After 15 years of him coaching me, it was fun finally getting to return the favor.

This is Episode 1, the assessment. Full video is up now, link below if you want to watch.
