He's not, it is a pro stock.
Radek never used retail rackets (apart from the C10)

Maybe Radek was being treated the same as Bosworths retail customers. I tried for well over 6 months to get some and kept having the secretary say I will get a call back, which never happened. Was the worst customer service I have ever experienced... Like they didn't actually want to sell product.

for some reason I distinctly remember an occasion in which a pro borrowed another pro's frames because his were lost or something, but I can't remember who.

I know it was relatively recent, though.

Crisp · 08-04-2012, 06:54 PM

It actually was stepanek at the year end championships

Actually it was Stepanek at the WTF a few years ago. His luggage got lost for a few days and he borrowed Djokovic's racquets for some matches. I'd be very surprised if the same thing happened again to the same guy though. You have to believe since the passing of Warren Bosworth that at the very least things are in disarray at Bosworth the company.

Warren did not run the company in the last 10 years...
His son, Jay runs it and continues to run it the same, solid way.
A month ago, I needed some help from those guys (I know them personally) and they were too busy to help. So, I don't think the business is in disarray...

Well they have been too busy to email or phone me in any way for over 12 months. Very disappointing.

before that actually it's been well documented on here that the email/ online spec sheet don't get replies but then we are not world class tennis players and we'd probably attempt to phone back again another time.

Crisp · 08-06-2012, 03:43 PM

I made half a dozen phone calls actually, always spoke to a receptionist who said jay would call asap. Never happened.

This picture was taken by one of the stringers at Rogers Cup.

Nice picture. It looks like a leather grip under the og, I thought he was using a Gamma hi-tech grip on his old frames.

That's correct, on his Bosworth rackets he used Gamma Hi-tech grips, no overgrip.

I was also after 3. Was a 30th birthday present for myself... Very disappointed.

Yeah I'm watching him play against Del Potro, looks like Djokers racquet. It also looks like he's looping his forehand more.

His game seemed a lot more solid with them. He wasn't hitting puffballs, his shots actually looked heavy for a change!

Ericsson, do you happen to know if this "Prostock" has a code B078007 sticker on the throat?
