I've got a friend who has 5 or 6 PT151 18x19s that Ferrerro gave him. They are painted as FXP Radicals--have the Flexpoint holes and LM bumps, probably a 21 mm beam, are 100 square inches and are 27.75 or 28 inches long. I'll try to get a hold of one to get the exact specs. Any clue what those numbers represent?

He needs to find grommets for them--they are stamped TK151. Any clue how he could get a hold of some?

So does a Pro Stock Version of the Speed Pro with an 18x20 exist? If so, what is the number?

Yes and I am not sure about your second question. I THINK: 262.1, and .2 and 263.1 and .2. Again, I am not 100% sure about this...

Well, the thread on the 262.1 says it is a 16x19. I'm just curious to see if there is one with an 18x20 and what the specs are on it.

The code on the inside of the throat of the 18X20 Speed Pro says:
NOVAK DJOKOVIC and has an static weight of 360g, a balance of 32cm and an SW of 370.

Sorry couldn't resist. I'm curious like you to see if there is one.

You are alluding to the exact racket that Novak has.
The answer is NO.
THe 18x20 speed Pro stock, the TGK 26x.x is ONLY the Speed MP, NOT the Speed Pro version (for now).

Novak's racket has nothing in common with any Speed lines...

Just the paint.

I knew that Djokovic's racquet was an 18x20 and I knew that they wouldn't have his exact model available to the public. That's why I didn't reference the specs on his. I would just like a Speed Pro 18x20 and that's why I was asking about the codes for that in particular.

LOL... I thought someone would say nice racket...
I use a Sony T300. It usually takes much better pictures with good lighting. There was not enough light in my room and I resized the pictures for upload. Good enough to show the racket.

Nice racquet!

So what is the story on your racquet? Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking. And does it feel like a low flex racquet or is it stiff?

I got this TGK from a forum member. According to him, he was selling for his friend who has a tennis shop. He got it from a pro. I requested to have the TGK modified close to a Ozone Pro Tour (my main racket).

Modifications: 5 grams of silicone inside handle and 5 grams of lead tapes under the headguard.

Unstrung:
Weight: 325 grams
Balance: 31 cm (10-11 points headlight)

Strung:
Weight: 340 grams
Balance: 7-8 points headlight

I got the racket a couple weeks ago and only hit with it for 20 minutes. It plays very similar to my Ozone pro tour (same head size / shape, same weight, same balance). It's a little flexier than the ozone pro tour. My serve was a whole lot better with the TGK (it's a bit longer and has more power than the ozone pro tour). I've compare it with a stock Speed MP and it definitely feel and sound different.
This is my first TGK and hopefully I'll find out more about this racket in a couple of days when I get a chance to play a real match with my buddy.

I am profoundly sorry! How about this - WOOOOOOOOOOW what a nice racquet!!!

Jem, can you tell me few words about stiffness please? Can you compare TGK's stiffness with other racquets you tried? How much did you pay for it if it is not classified information?

Thanks!

Like I said I haven't really "played" with the TGK other than a few practice rallies and a few serves. I will play my friend in a few days and will post my review. But from what I can remember the TGK is slightly flexier than the ozone pro tour and has more power. I don't have to swing as hard. The TGK also has more feel.
