It's a 95, by the way.

lol.
Federer has been top 10 for couple of years, yet there is no definitive conclusion of what the hell he really used/uses.

Federer uses the retail K90 and has since 2002.

Hey BP, I'm sure you've seen some of the slo-mo vids of Fed hitting forehands when his racket looks so flexy it wobbles like jelly. Do you think all K90s react like this or does he have a special material set up?
No trick question here, I'm curious that's all.

Almost all racquets will wobble when it hits the ball if you view it in extreme slo-mo, but I find the retail K90 to be a pretty flexy racquet relative to most racquets on the market today. I also find the K90 to be flexier than both the nCode 90 and PS Tour 90.

Everything vibrates, when you slow time down.

low tension strings sends higher amplitude vibrations into the frame instead of higher frequency vibrations

I always thought that the nCode 95 18x20 is the best in the 6.1 series.

I'm able to took some pics next week at the Bank Austria Tennis Trophy in Vienna, to solve all problems.
It looks like the actual K factor why do you atuomatically assume it's something else?
Why do you assume it's NOT something else?
Non cynic I guess. Not everyone is a liar.
Maybe Federer, like sampras, had the flex increased (stiffness decreased) on his racquet to lower the power level and gain more control. It'd make sense, considering how low he strings his racquets (54-57 lbs) but nobody seems to know FOR SURE, without a doubt.

Seem to remember there was mention on a thread a while back that he used to use the Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 18x20, think there were pics showing that. Can't remember source.
So maybe HPS with paint job? Whatever it is, the guy knows how to smack a tennis ball hard and flat.

I've heard he used the HPS 6.1 18x20 during his whole junior career and sticked with it.

That was the impression that I was under. If it isn't the HPS, then I would guess nCode. I doubt he is using the actual k95.
