Okay, so today I wanted to share my experience with getting into Ben Shelton’s tennis apparel. You know, Ben Shelton, that young tennis star who made it to the US Open semi-finals? Yeah, that guy. His performance on the court is amazing, and when I saw him play, I was like, “I gotta get some of that gear.”
First off, I started looking for his clothes. I checked out some online shops and found some cool stuff like T-shirts, hoodies, and even some dresses. It’s amazing how many styles and colors they have. I picked up a couple of T-shirts and a hoodie with his name on them. They’re pretty comfortable, and I love wearing them when I play tennis or just chill out.
Then, I moved on to the shoes. The guy uses some really nice tennis shoes, and I found a place that sells them. They have a wide selection, not just for tennis but also for pickleball. I tried on a few pairs, and man, they felt good. I ended up buying a pair of tennis shoes that are super comfy and give me a good grip on the court.
Next up was the racquet. Now, this was a bit tricky because I learned that Ben had been switching between racquets and strings. But it seems like he’s settled on the Yonex Ezone 98. I found one online and decided to give it a try. It’s a bit different from what I was using before, but I’m getting used to it. It feels good in my hand, and I think it’s improving my game.
As for the strings, I read that he uses a combination of Yonex Poly Tour Strike and Yonex Poly Tour Pro. I got myself a set of each, one for the mains and one for the crosses. I even got a couple of reels because, why not? Stringing the racquet was a bit of a process, but I managed to do it. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s all part of the fun, right?
I also noticed that Ben’s style isn’t just about tennis. He looks pretty cool in his off-court outfits too. I saw him in a Burberry tee and some chains at a press conference, and he looked sharp. Apparently, he gets his style inspiration from other athletes and Instagram. That’s pretty cool. I started following a few more athletes on Instagram to get some style ideas myself.

Wrapping Up
So, that’s my journey into the world of Ben Shelton’s tennis apparel and gear. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m really enjoying the new gear. It feels good to play in the same stuff as a pro, even if I’m nowhere near his level, haha. I just think it is really cool that I can wear the same type of thing as him. I think it has definitely improved my game a bit and made me feel more confident on the court. Plus, it’s always fun to try out new things and switch up your style. If you’re a tennis fan or just looking for some new gear, I’d definitely recommend checking out what Ben Shelton uses. You might find something you like!
