Why no stencil on Pete's racquet at expo?

[EKnee08]

I noticed that Pete had a Nike duffel bag and was playing with a Wilson stick at the Hit For Haiti Expo. Does anybody know why wasn't there a stencil on his frame?

The Nike duffel is no surprise. He's always carried a large, black, Nike duffel as his on-court bag. Concerning the stencil, I have no idea.

He always hated stencils I think, no?

NO MONEY, NO STENCIL. Pete has played without a W at various times in his career, so it is not unusual.

He isn't sponsored by Wilson, that's why...

Pete and Andre are NOT getting along.

Thats what I thought but isn't the K Factor KPro Staff 88, an autographed model? I'm a Head guy and not a Wilson guy so I"m not sure about this but see link below. On the other hand, TW doesn't have the Pistol listed as a pro endorsing Wilson.

Yup, many threads on this in the general pro player and former pro player discussion forums.
