Having a nice day at the tennis court and testing the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S tennis racket

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S

We have the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S for almost a year now and we used this racket in more than 20 games, including couple amateur tennis tournaments during the summer. So it is time to share our honest feedback about the Instinct S and why we intend to keep this very capable tennis racket. 

Before we continue with the video from the tennis court that we recorded for you today, let us remind you the main specifications of the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S:

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S test - video


As I explained in the video, the Instinct S is a very forgiving racket at 285 grams. It is not as stable as the similarly weighted Yonex Ezone 100L but is a bit softer when hitting from the base line and it is just great for tennis players with elbow or shoulder injuries.

The Ezone 100L on the other hand is way stiffer and much more stable at the net. The Instinct S feels easier to maneuver at this weight and one of the easiest overall rackets we have played with in the last couple of years.  

In regards to accuracy and precision we would say it is somewhere in the middle - not as accurate as the Wilson Ultra 100L Camo that we loved so much.

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S - our 2020 feedback

So, the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S is definitely a racket that we liked while playing with it in 2020. We will probably keep the racket for 2021 either as primary or backup unit.


Please let us know what do you think about the Graphene 360 Instinct S or the racket that you are currently playing with, we will be happy to hear from you.

Hello, head instinct S vs Wilson ultra 1ppL vs Yonex Ezone 100L?

I am looking for the best compromise between power and precision. I have a small size and I come out of a tennis elbow.
Thanks for you advise

The Instinct S is the most forgiving for injuries, it has good power and control. The Ultra and the Ezone 100L have very stiff frames and are not good for elbow and shoulder injuries. Head Instinct S and Yonex Ezone 100L are more spin friendly than the Wilson Ultra 100L which has more power but flat shots.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

By
Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
