| NFL + WTA love story of the year! Angela Kulikov & Alex Ward (LA RAMS) debate the GOAT & talk through the differences of pro tennis vs. pro football | 06 Aug 2024 | 01:00:20 | |
No, it isn't Travis and Taylor...instead, today we have the cutest crossover couple from the NFL and the WTA: Angela and Alex!
Angela Kulikov is a CA girl who played college tennis at USC and is now a doubles specialist on the WTA Pro Tour, but can also kick some serious butt in singles and knows a thing or two about football having gone viral as the QB Chick right around the pandemic showcasing her absolute athleticism and ability to do it all! She has seen success on the pro tour and currently is dealing with a few minor injury snafus but always has some fun stories along the way.
Alex Ward stands at 6 foot 4 and grew up in Florida…a hot bed for tennis as we all know, but currently wears number 47 and is the Long Snapper for the Los Angeles Rams! He played college football for the Knights at Central Florida but if you happen to see him on a tennis court you probably would assume he played tennis at UCF. He might just be the best tennis player currently on the NFL!
Listen to their story on how they met, who loves tennis more, and how they have helped each other along the way as they navigate being pro athletes in two very different sports. We also chat about off seasons, financial security as a pro athlete, training, the mental side of it all and more. Oh and don't miss the big question, WHO IS THE GOAT: Tom Brady or Roger Federer?!

| Everything You Need to Know About the New Racquets from PRINCE! (Beyond the Playtest: Prince Ripstick 100 & Synergy 98) | 02 Mar 2021 | 00:37:08 | |
New racquets from Prince are here! And our playtesters take a deep dive to tell you all about the new Prince Ripstick and Synergy 98! From a super powerful racquet to a unique new string pattern, our team talks about the good and challenging aspects of both of these new, modern frames! Prince Ripstick 100: With this racquet Prince has created a powerful modern player's racquet with above average comfort for the breed. At 11.2 ounces strung, the Ripstick is not only fast enough for intermediate players, it also packs a near 330 swingweight, giving it enough stability and plow through to tempt the more advanced ball striker. This racquet's comfortable feel comes partly from the extra large O-Ports that surround the hitting area. Prince has delivered an impressive weapon to intermediate players in search of power. The arm-friendly comfort is a nice bonus. Prince Synergy 98: An impressive weapon with controllable power and outstanding feel. At 11.4 ounces strung this stick is mobile enough for intermediates, but it also packs a beefy 330+ RDC swingweight, which means it has enough stability and plow through for the advanced ball striker. In addition to its control-oriented 98 square inch head, this racquet has an 18x18 string pattern, giving it impressive precision when driving the ball through the court. Other features include a uniquely textured aerodynamic surface (for easier acceleration) along with a CTS beam, which is thinner in the shaft (for better feel) and thicker in the head (for extra power and stability). Experienced players looking for a stable player's racquet with outstanding feel and controllable power should love this one.
