March Monthly Round-up

It was in with the old and in with the new this past month. Yes, I said "in" with the new, not "out," because there were a lot of great retro tennis items such as the Puma Guillermo Vilas GV Special, the adidas Tournament Pack, and the beginning of what appears to be a string of McEnroe/Borg spoofs. But there was plenty new to see as well, including the Spring Nike lines for Sharapova, Serena, Federer and Nadal.

NOVEMBER MONTHLY ROUND-UP

November has been a HUGE month for What's All the Racquet. One, we've been scouring the Internet for good deals and creative gift giving ideas for the tennis (or other racquet sports) player in your life. If you can't find it in our guides...you're just not trying. Two, we saw Prince announce their new, cutting edge RECOIL string, due out in January. Three, we've added a new feature to the site, the Weekly Butt Cap - bringing much overdue attention to that plastic thingy that keeps your grip on your racquet. Four, we've added other racquet sports to the mix - badminton, racquetball, squash, platform tennis and ping pong. Hope you enjoy!
