Any Pros using 16x18 racquets?
just curious...since all of them are strong enough to generate massive spin.
TW says mardy fish uses one, but i doubt it...

Tommy Robredo's blacked-out Dunlop is 16X18.

Nobody uses 16x18, 16x19 is way too awesome.

Fish uses the 18X20 Wilson.
Felix Mantilla used to use a 14X16 frame. I have one of his old frames.

Mark Woodforde's Wilson 7.5 OS had a 12x16 pattern. He strung it with Luxilon 1.80 gauge at 83 lbs. I know because I have one of his racquets.

Mark Woodforde was known for using really open patterns. I remembered he had a Yonex RDP10 that was like 12x14.

Many of the Prince sponsored pros - Troicki, JC Ferrero, Vassallo-Arguello, and others use the Ozone Tour which is a 16x18

Davydenko did and changed to an 18X20. He immediately noticed more control....lessons are learned across abilities it would appear!
