Does the new BLX 6.1 Tour 90 have Federer's signature on it please?

It will have to play close to the 6.0 85 for me to buy. If this iteration sucks too (since all others since the 6.0 have been disappointments), I'm done with my quest to replace the 6.0.

The perfect racquet - 6.0 90 with the T90 cosmetics!

Why is this so important to you?

You've asked this same question like 100 times already. How is having or not having a decal with Federer's signature on the side going to affect how the BLX90 plays?

No, but Federer has hired me as the sole agent for putting his signatures on the frame. Send it to me and I will add it for you for $14 + shipping.

It is important because I want to know!

I doubt if the signature will affect how it plays

They would have called it a limited edition frame then, like the K88 or the N90 Ltd Edition. I mean, if you and every club player in the world had his signature, where is the value to it?

I can't tell if you are joking or not

The retail K90 had his signature on it, and I would like to know if the BLX90 will do the same?

I talked to the BLX and asked him if he was going to "do the same..."

He said "nah, I'm not gonna do it this year..maybe next year if I'm up to it..."

No signature. Sorry.

Did it? I stand corrected then.

However, Wilson claimed that it was Fed's real frame, first time they had done that (they were caught with their pants down with the N90). If the B90 does not have Fed's signature, are we to assume it is not Fed's real frame?

Imagine a APDC with a BLX90 paintjob.

Well, that was my question.

WHY do you want to know?

There's a reason for everything.

So? How many people bought the K90 ONLY because it had Federer's signature on it and how many people even cared? I've been using the K90 since it came out and until you mentioned it, I didn't even remember it had Federer's signature on it because I never look at the side of my racquets when I'm playing nor even when I string my racquets.

You can probably find his signature on the web in a picture. Just transfer it to a decal and stick it on any racquet of your choosing.

Not true at all. Look at the history of tennis racquets. There have been thousands of models in the past with some pro's signature on them which the pro never even touched in their lives, let alone actually play with. This was especially common during the wood era. Heck, one of the best selling tennis racquets of all time was even named the Wilson "Jack Kramer Autograph".
