He had really switched two years ago to the RDis 100 Mid. Now it looks like he really switch to the V Core 95 D

It has always been interesting to me that Hewitt plays with no overgrip. You don't see that too much nowadays.

Pictures of his "95D" appear to show a racquet with a rounder head (wider at 3&9) than the retail 95D. Looks more like the Rdis 100 to me.

I believe hewitt uses a bigger handle and does use an overgrip. He used to use the Yonex Supergrap black, and then switched to some variation that had antibacterial something-or-other in it.

Does he use extended frame maybe?

He chokes up on the handle on both forehand and backhand (like many other players do, that use extended frames).
