Episode Notes

We dug up an unreleased conversation from earlier this year where we break down the biggest Q1 2026 tennis racquet launches — including the frames that were not Babolat Pure Aeros or Yonex VCORES!

In this episode, we talk first impressions, new technologies, paint jobs, playability expectations, and which racquets actually stood out from the crowd before the reviews, hype cycles, and internet opinions fully settled in.

If you’re into new tennis gear, racquet trends, upcoming releases, and honest tennis talk, this one feels like a time capsule from the start of the 2026 season.

Topics include: • 2026 tennis racquets • Q1 racquet launches • New racquet paint jobs & trends • Tennis gear discussion • Early racquet reactions • Control vs power frame trends • Hidden gem racquets for 2026

Let us know which 2026 racquet launch surprised you the most.
