I dont think so, that code has a 16x19 drill pattern if memory serves right...

But the code is a legit code for a Head Prostock IG Speed? Just not the one Radek is using?

I don't think the code is specific to a racket...but to a player
I have seen many PT57As with totally different sticker codes on them.
And I've had different PJs form the same player with identical sticker codes...

He must have gotten one heck of a sponsorship, I don't even want to imagine how much it cost him to get a custom Bosworth (multiples actually), considering that he went there and spent several sessions working out his exact specs. Multiple thousands of dollars I would think.

I was hitting at bolleteri in like July, and he, nishikori, and lisicki were there too. I was hitting on a court beside him and he was switching back and forth between a speed and his weird racquet. Thought that was kinda weird. Didn't give him too long to adjust to the new racquet if he just recently switched.

What shoes is Stepanek wearing? They look sweet, but I can't find them on Tennis Warehouse.

They're custom Nike 2K11s. You can choose your own color combinations.

Very odd imo.
Stepanek obviously wasn't happy with his Bosworth-situation/-racquet anymore. But why does he switch to the hugely different speed? I find it surprising that he is already having success with the new stick.
Don't think Head has put too much effort into signing Stepanek, who isnt the youngest anymore and not exactly someone who you call crowd's favourite. Also, as novak.20v has pointed out, there is no logo on the strings.

And why does Paes give away his PD, which he has played for ages? The difference PD to Speed isnt that big, but why does he do it? If it was for the money, there would have to be the Head logo sprayed on the strings.

Hello, anyone home?!
It is NOT the Speed...it is a PJ of MG Radical Mold -- a bit different...

It is not "the closest" it is THE mold of it...
Most likely different layup and customization.
