What's with Hewitt's racket?

[gurj_v]

If Hewitt designed the RDX 500 mid and the MP Tour-1 Mid for himself (not just the cosmetics), why doesn't he use them?

[TigerTennis]

I dont know. But didnt Sharapova do the same thing with the Shark? And she doesnt use it. So who knows.

[Feña14]

Because he has used the SRD for years and has based his whole game around it and he trusts it!

The MP and RDX feel totally different to the SRD, I don't blame him for sticking with what he knows.

[gurj_v]

yeah but the RDX and MP Tour-1 were made for HIM, he said what he wanted and Yonex made them. I Find it really strange that he hasn't switched from the SRD Tour. (I think they should re-release the SRD Tour 90 with new cosmetics like the RD Ti 80).

Do you really believe this!?!?!? You're joking!

Its becoming difficult to distinguish the trolls from the people who really don't know what's going on.

OK, there's no point in arguing about this, so unlike other threads, lets try and work this out. Do you have evidence to you claim that Hewitt had no input into these rackets or are you just hypothesising from other conspiracies similar to this on the board?

Isn't that just a marketing gimack LIKE Babolat saying Roddick helped design the Aero Throat thing then say he hates it?

[Exile]

If it ain't broke....

Screw it up and say everything was fixed by this new miracle stick.

i thought that before she just had a shark pj, but then she actually did switch from that maroon color racquet( 4get the name) with the same shape to the shark. i heard she made an announcement or something that she started using the shark. i could easily be mistaken though.
