Default Andy Murray's Racket Specs

Anybody got any ideas on the SW and Static Weight? I thought I read somewhere on here that a guy was talking to his coach around the US Open time last year and it weighed something like 375g? We all know it's a Prestige Pro....

True....ericsson said his stick is 345g strung. I wonder if that's with or without an overgrip?

Im sure a tournagrip doesnt make the world of difference. However, i would assume he left the grip on so it keeps its value...

5-6g, it would be a "world of difference" for a pro

Has anybody found his swingweight? So far, all the threads here are purely speculation swingweights.

Well he said he moved some weight from the head to the handle to make it more even balanced. So i assume its not as high as it used to be

I still want a numerical value. Some people say around here that it's now around 340ish or 350, but there's no definitive answer. All pure speculation.

May you also take a look at the SW too if you get a chance at an RDC?

Thanks! And have a good vacation.

ericsson, I'm sure I've asked you before but which one feels heavier when you just wave it around in your hand - the Stepanek racquet or the Murray racquet?

It's tournagrip. Search is your friend. Judging by the picture, it's probably XL.

And I'm still looking forward to seeing the swingweight of the racquet!

Apologies if i didnt reply, like i said i'm on holiday so i'm not online every day.
The Murray racket swings a little heavier i think, i will check when im back home to make sure.

Interesting seeing different players different preferences for grips. This is thick and almost round. Watching Federer today, you can see the bevels on the handle from miles away.
