Which players besides Nadal don't use the string the company says they use?

I know Nadal is marketed as using Pro Hurricane, but he really uses Duralast.

So which other players do this?

Carlos Moya use Luxilon Big Banger orginal and not Hurricane 1,30 mm as stated on Babolat´s homepage..

I'd imagine a lot of them do considering how easy it is.

It's crazy that also could be happening, I could maybe understand inside tha same company, but from diferent brands....

I think may be many pro's didn't know what they're playing.

Hell, what string does Nadal really use ?!

Big-Serve · 12-22-2008, 03:09 PM

The most of the players are using other strings...Nadal is using Babolat Tour Duralast 1.30

I read somewhere Sampras had a Nike logo sewn onto Wilson shoes for some time when he played.
