No current pro's that I know of, but Lendl uses them now during exhibitions I suppose...
didn't you read the original post??
It's true Radek uses Bosworth last I knew.
Yes I did, and then I answered it, it's not the question he asked because they're aren't any other pro's who use Bosworth. Try to think next time, but make sure you don't hurt yourself...
Navratilova?
Must be a pretty good stick cause I don't think they are paid to use it. Has anyone ever tried one?

within the last month have purchased two Tour 96 frames and have to say after a long long affair with Volkl Tour 10 Gen 1 have made the switch. Rackets are the best I have ever played with. The folks at Bosworth are very professional spent alot of time working with me to make the racket most suited to my request. Simply love the way these sticks play.
Ericsson, It is really a sweet stick..I still love the Gen 1 but these haave an even better feel. Never thought id say that..Hows everything goin ur end? Just returned frm 3wks in Florida was great..U planning on coming over to Big W this year??
well its not many, if there are any other then the 2 mentioned here that use the rackets. However many pros use Bosworths custom weighting and balacing services. From time to time u will be able to spot a bosworth B on the buttcap ,

The website says they have this secret revolutionary grip. Navratilova said that until bosworgh all she had wAs a slice backhand. But with the bosworth grip she could now rip it down the line.
You have an info on this secret grip ?

Martina plays with an asymmetrical handle shape.
Asymmetrical handles really only benefit players with one-handed backhands.
At that, they are only suited to players who prefer a different handle shape for the forehand stroke than the backhand stroke.
Martina could have accomplished what she wanted from her backhand without the asymmetrical shape, but only at the expense of the forehand.
Essentially, the asymmetrical shape is an effort to combine the positive benefits of two different handle shapes.
There is really nothing secret or revolutionary about this type of handle, but it is a perfect example of how Bosworth can tailor equipment to a player's needs. Mind you, the trick lies not in building the asymmetrical handle, but rather in the expertise in knowing how, why, and when a player needs such a design.
Dont know bout secret handle but they did build me a customized handle that sure was alot better than the standard Volkl handle. Cant say enough bout their customer service.
I think that is what they are talking about. So what do they do with the
handle ? Do they mold it to your hand or something?
Would they change the handle of my current stick?
No I had a 2 Bosworth Tour 96 custom made and that included the grip and handle..I used to play forever with a Volkl Tour 10 Gen 1 whose handle did not completely complement my playing style or strokes. Call them see what they can doSo you are not using a bosworth but a tour 10 with a new handle ?
I have sort of done my own crude Bosworth grip augmentation. I got the idea from the power V grip. Have you seen that? It's basically a small piece of rubber that goes under your over grip. Sort of the same idea as the babolat smart grip but more pronounced.
The problem with the power V was that it was too thick for my hand. So I basically got like five pieces of double sided mountin tape and put them under my over grip.
The increased power and angles I get is amazing. Most people pay attention to only the strings and the racquet....but the grip is probably more important than both in my opinion. How you hold the racquet and how the face of the racquet hits the ball I have found is equally if not more important than the strings and the stick.
I am sure that all of the pros have customized grips however at our level it's cometely ignored and everyone just uses the stock grip.
I am actually more interested in the Bosworth grip than the racquet.....lol.
I just realize that the user i was referring to is no other than the notorious vsbabolat. Shame on me about that.Someone has a quote from Lendl, i think, for his signature. It goes like: "My Bosworth 96 is simply the best racket i have ever used, period."
