Weight: 364.2 grams
Balance: 32.4 cms
Distance from end of butt cap to hanging string: 64.2cms
and finally, the average swing time: 13.7 seconds, so according to the swing weight calculator in TW, I got a SW of 354 which was pretty close or the same as suggested before by you...

Hope this helps!

This is like the 5th Roger racket confirming these specs

Very good to see I wasn't wrong!

Yes, Fed is playing with different specs since last months

Those values you post, I have posted in the past, you can search for it here on TT.

I will have the new specs in the next days...

WoW! I' very interested in knowing the new specs he is using! and may I ask from what racquet or source is this information coming?

No you may not.

ARTART can't share his source, but he's very legit.

I'd like to know where you get your information from. How do you know Roger is playing with different specs? I think he's playing with the same specs as always.

Hey Ron,

Just wondering if you've been stringing the prototypes that Federer has been trying and what kind of specs you've been seeing (including headsizes) or is that something you can't reveal?

Thanks.

R1CKSO · 09-17-2011, 07:26 PM

Ok, then I'll have to wait for what he says...

My stock K90 strung with OG is 13 1/8oz. But I did picked the most HL one out of several in the store.

Ron, it's painfully obvious he's more in-the-know than you are! His post count is higher than yours. . . .

Roger hasn't been trying any prototypes this year, nor has he been trying different specs. That's not to say that that he won't be doing so later this year, but as of now there have been no changes. The great thing about Roger is that he's always willing to try different things, so I'm not sure what he'll want to do during the very short off season.

Interesting. Thanks for the response, Ron.

There was a video posted on this board a few weeks ago that showed Roger practicing for the US Open with what clearly looked to be a 95 sq. in. or larger racquet. I'm not sure where that video is but could we all have been seeing things? Even I was convinced and I'm a huge believer that he should just stay with his current 90.

I saw that video too but wasn't as convinced. Whenever someone shows me stills even the racquet is from varying angles which can easily give the perception of smaller head sizes... so pics of other frames look bigger by contrast - the pics in the "Huge news about Federer's racket" thread for example.

Notwithstanding, it's interesting to me what Ron says here and probably evidence that the stuff mentioned in the other thread was just the usual TT hype based on nothing other than some fool wanting to show he's in-the-know.

P1 do all of Roger's customising and stringing but would that include demo racquets he tried when not in-season? Ron?

I would have thought it's be simple and indeed astute of Wilson to easily have a couple of development guys who'd go to wherever Roger was training off-season (in Dubai for example where P1 don't service him if I recall from an old thread) and do some specific testing stuff right there and then with him - having multiple variations of flex/balance of a beta frame. How else would they ever develop the iterations of frames he's used otherwise? He is their biggest marketing plug so it makes sense to make best use of the the association.

You can clearly see the difference between 90 and 95 sq. in. just by watching the YT video someone took from 200 ft away??? Especially if it was the same PJ? You're amazing, as always

Did you see the video? I thought not. Because it was from more like 10 feet away, not 200 ft away.

Watch from 1:30 to 2:30 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZQB8...9261363A697E19

That's his normal frame imo. Doesn't look any bigger at all to me.

His t-shirt however is way cool!

I totally agree. I am not sure how can anyone CLEARLY see that there is about 5 mm extra on sides from his regular frame.
Definitely his normal frame, unless that Prince of his coach is 180 sq. in

It is quite easy to see.In the video is easier if it's not seeing from angles.
LE: cant be sure in the video if it's bigger size though

Thank you once again for shedding some light on the subject and unmasking those posting untrue info.
