Three racket companies dominate competitive tennis: Babolat, Head, and Wilson. Together these three brands accounted for 81% of all the rackets I strung at the ITF Pro Circuit Futures of Winston-Salem recently.
By comparison, at the NCAA tournament they accounted for 94% of all the rackets I strung.
At the Futures of Winston-Salem, t he racket brands broke down as follows:
- Babolat – 33%
- Head and Wilson – 24%
- Yonex – 9%
- Gamma, Prince, Tecnifibre – 3%
The biggest surprise of the bunch was the Gamma RZR Bubba, a 137 square inch, sub-10 ounce racket used by Matt Seeberger, who won the Futures of Winston-Salem doubles championship with Julio Peralta.
In case you didn’t know, Seeberger also won two NCAA team titles, 3 NCAA singles titles, and 3 NCAA doubles titles playing for the D3 University of California – Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.

Sanam strung 1 at 50# and 1 at 48# the first day, then a couple of days later did 1 at 45#, with Solinco Tour Bite.

Thankyou!! Do you recall the tension on those two head graphene radical pro’s? I can see that the mains are 50 but the rubberband is covering the cross tension. Thanks again.

The racket was actual 50 pounds both mains and crosses. What is covered up by the rubber band is indicating that it should be strung with 4 knots. Thanks!

Interesting. Last question haha do you know the name of the player who uses them?

Sorry for the slow reply. The Radical Pros were Raymond Sarmientos IIRC.
