I think the Heysil rackets look good, but with that name and logo the company is doomed to fail. Horrible branding! Branding so bad it kills a great product. SMH.
One of the best racquet reviews I've seen....because, it had a variety of opinions from a variety of players at different levels. So, there was something for almost every type of player. 😎 Well thought out by Kojak and the effort he put in to make it happen was well worthwhile and appreciated. This channel is getting that good now, I can see Kojak with his own regular segment on one of them big American talk back/variety shows. Sign this man up now before the bidding war begins and you can't afford him! 👐

@Glen Seems like a long while back when Henri used it in an exhibition, even though really it isn't The problem is that there was and has been no marketing beyond Henri playing that time with it. You'd have thought there was an opportunity for follow up marketing in Australia, given it was seen on TV. I guess that's where it's tough for any small company trying to get going (in any industry) - capital.
I like the concept of you doing “unboxing”. They unbox everything else on TH-cam.. why not. So when you get that first box of the new Pro Staffs in- unboxing!!
Once again, i share an Australian Grass court with my sister in Adelaide City and I have not come across them. Can't believe I have to find out about them from my favorite Tennis Channel. Thanks man
One of my favorite videos. Shows how awesome people are (except the rate line hookers) in our sport: this company saw your videos and your passion, sent you sticks to eval (customized to your specs no less), and you were nice enough to give the sticks a great demo with a number of players. Good luck to Heysil!
Without any hands-on experience, it’s all coming down to looks v price. I definitely like the understated/non-flashy/matt black design. At $250 Australian Dollars (roughly $180 USD), it comes down to shipping costs, whether this makes financial sense. For now, I’m sticking with my Clash, which works perfect for me ($225 + string + tax, at a local, female owned, small tennis shop). It’ll be interesting to see if Heysil comes to the US and what their pricing will be then.
Hi GM J. Thanks for your feedback, Heysil ships to the US. Pricing is on our website in Aussie dollars. Flat rate international shipping is 20 bucks. Take care.
Hey...I think that velcro in the bag is actually a "shelf" so you can turn that one big compartment into two compartments. At least I think that's what it is. :-)
I like everyone who talks about rackets. And it's fine if they don't come from pros. But looking at your strokes and technique I am not sure if you can really make s sound judgment when it comes to racket performance, differences not to mention subtle customisation tips. Please don't take that as a critique but more observation / question. Still thanks for running this channel.
@Pluta I hear you, is makes sense what you say, but he has decades of years of experience customizing, so even if he "can't play" doesn't mean he doesn't know what her is talking about. Most people that design and customize racquets can't play tennis at all!
Yeah wtf why is it not listed. They also have a racquet listed as having a slightly longer length than normal but the specs say 27 even. Wtf, big turn offs so far.
This is an honest channel! My opinion at least. But I am really wandering: How come these racquets reminded the players of Pure drive babolat Yonex Clash wilson Blade wilson?? What kind of a magical racquet is this?
Customized for him, but, does it come in other sizes 9?8 and 100? Nice bag! What is the original specs? Awash, close to a pure drive. But, what is the RA rating stiffness rating?
Pls review stock models, as that is what we all face in our local pro shops. Include customisation tips, but leave lead tape out of initial reviews. Thanks for professional and unbiased reviews. Keep up the great work.
Hello, I have a big request to you. I am not hiding that I am a fan of your channel. I am writing from Poland, Darek from this page... My question and request concerns the Heysil Tour 100 rocket. As I am currently playing Wilson Clash 100 and sometimes I am tempted by something a bit more controlled, I found a review on tennisnerd concerning these rockets. I saw that you were also presenting on your channel. I feel like buying one frame for the tournament game. I was thinking about the new Speed MP 360+ but I also have a Heysil 100 in my head. A little bit longer - and I play 2bh - that also fits me... I'm not hiding that I'm looking for the same maneuverability as clash 100. I'm a little disturbed by a wide 16x19 string layout - the strings fly in my clash after a few games, so I often stretch 1.30. Is the Heysil 100 Tour a good direction? For example, has the new Speed made a better impression on you? I'm asking for some help, greetings from Poland:)
@Foxtrot Oscar At least he plays at a decent level, which is a lot more than can be said about Tennis Spin. And he doesn't feed misinformation half the time.
@@Ihasfinger911 maybe they contacted him because he has a retail outlet! Does tennisnerd resell ? Just saying. $$$$ talks always, so here might be more lucrative for both
Hi boss, could you please suggest a best racquet for one handed backhand player 😘 (I'm 25 yo, but not strong. I love to make fast ball (flat). Maybe lower than 300g is enough for me)
Nice video, Mr T. Any idea if these Heysil rackets are foam-filled? I usually shy away from "high modulus graphite" stuff as they tend to feel somewhat jarring to me.
@@starman3533 I have , was very uncomfortable. I had very bad arm pain after and had to change back to my old racket after 30 minutes. The strings kept breaking and I changed the type of string multiple times going thicker and thicker in gauge. And the clothes from artengo starting ripping in my washing machine so , in conclusion, Artengo is quite a good option for people on a budget , but you are paying for what you get
I never heard of adding lead to the Raquet....can someone explain... I used a Prince Graphite composite 110 from 1988 thru 2019...then I bought Federer's Wilson...much lighter...helped with my tennis elbow....not sure I would want the Raquet heavier..🤔🤔🤔🤷🏽♂️ I am a glorified 3.5... who is forced by #USTA to play 4.0
Depends where you live. Most local stores will do stringing. If you need something faster or cheaper, there are usually people on craigslist offering stringing services. If you're super picky, get your own stringing machine and string it yourself.
Are these racquets made in China and customized in Australia? Or are they fully Australian made? Would be interesting having another racquet maker besides Yonex that still maintains their own production for top end racquets.
their site says Australian designed which leads me to believe it is manufactured in China. Having said that it doesn't matter where it is made, the most critical factor is the quality control. And in this case some companies have better QC than others, e.g. Yonex for example and coincidentally they are made in Japan. Babolats are made in China as well but they have better QC than Wilson?
I own 2 Angell TC100's and I'm a big moral supporter of small brands in the racket industry. But these guys don't look like they're trying hard enough. No paint, "customised" being just lead tape...I mean what is there?
I was thinking the same thing, but maybe Tennis Spin was sent several prototype racquets? At least, for the sake of the future of the company, I hope so.
@@JW-bw8nj I looked at the website and the rackets look the same as here. Seems like they are a customisation/pro stringing company who bought some stock frames from china and are reselling them.
you make a good point about no paint, but ironic enough the all black Pro Staff RF97 was like that too when it was all black (albeit with the glossy paint at 3 and 9 and velvet that chips off!
Get your racquet back quicker on the forehand and try to accelerate smoothly. You’re hitting it too fast too soon. Gotta feel the ball on the strings longer.
@@minhduong8446 There still may be hope for you. Several companies make very thin replacement grips that are supposed to reduce the racquet grip size up to one whole size. Maybe you can get a racquet in 4 1/8 and replace the stock grip with one of the super thin ones to bring it down to 4?
BIG WARNING !! This racquet is Highly Customised but then again, Any racquet with that much SW and TW will feel absolutely great when you first hit with it ... Power with Control. The proof in the pudding is if you're able to keep wielding it hour after hour without arm fatigue not to mention the extra stress it might put on your wrist and your shoulders .... Worst still, try playing doubles with such a racquet !! You simply won't be able to manoeuvre it quickly enough for doubles. Racquet reviews must only be done uncustomised, the way it was designed and sold by the manufacturer. Sadly, with such massive customisation, it's impossible now to know how good the racquet could be in stock form for the general masses. Opportunity missed.
@Glen I only heard players saying they want to add weight @12 which speaks volumes on how headlight the racquet has been made through the customisation ... No one mentioned doubles because no one played doubles .... Experience proves my point, just research the Bryan brothers' racquets. You're Welcome :)
@Glen Plain Glen ... was wondering how long it would take to show your age ... Now, go up to your room like a bad little boy ... No dinner for you tonight for using bad words :)))
Artango or Heysil are all cheap chinese made racket that amateurs buy when they want to “play” tennis. They also buy balls from the dollar shop too. Guys just stick with the known brands. They have invested millions of $ into R&D. You get what you paid for.
what toss ... they're all made in china and they're not even made in the same factory so there will be differences even within your "known" brands .. get some knowldege
All racquet reviews should be done like this. All levels of players using it....this guy really puts work behind his videos.

Could you please share specs of these strung rackets? As you do usually (weight, balance, sw)

Yeah wtf why is it not listed. They also have a racquet listed as having a slightly longer length than normal but the specs say 27 even. Wtf, big turn offs so far.
Seems similar to Angell... custom rackets, some soft goods
This is an honest channel! My opinion at least.
But I am really wandering:
How come these racquets reminded the players of
Pure drive babolat
Yonex
Clash wilson
Blade wilson??
What kind of a magical racquet is this?
Have you ever heard about Dahcor? They’re a Portuguese company that custom made racquets.
Thank you fpr sharing!
I emailed them about the stiffness. They said the oversize (not in this vid) was the stiffest they make and is RA68
Customized for him, but, does it come in other sizes 9?8 and 100? Nice bag! What is the original specs? Awash, close to a pure drive. But, what is the RA rating stiffness rating?

great bag - not as "fat" as regular tennis bags, but a bit taller so that you don't bump into people / things as you walk
I'm interested in them, tried to fill out the order form and wouldn't take. Wtf
Why would a racket company contact you as you only have a small shop and also how do they know who you are.
I think many people in this channel (11k susbcribers) are wanting to get the Angell´s or the Heysil´s rackets.
