Why?! Hmmm...one racket is measured unstrung, 16g lighter, 1.5cm more HL.
Therefore, the SW will most likely be MUCH lower...

At $89.95, TW can now reasonably expect to see a dramatic sales increase of MG mp

Love the matt black of Almagro's frame. Looks sweet! Wish I could get that PJ for sure!

Nico would have a hard time adjusting his forehand with a higher swingweight.
His FH is the definition of whippy.

Almagro's racquet, strung + overgrip should be 360+ grams, heavier in fact than Nole's racquet.

Nico's swingweight when strung, however, should be about 338 kg*cm^2, whereas Djokovic's is in fact 370. That's 32 kg*cm^2 heavier (for the mathematically challenged out there).

I was sort of joking, but don't be sorry.

It's been thoroughly established that Nole's personal racquet does not come from the retail Speed mold he endorses, but rather the Microgel MP mold.

Supposition has however, been that he uses a custom layup which is very flexy, with a RA in the low 50's. We now know that his RA is actually 60, the same as the retail Microgel MP (according to racquettech). Ergo, it's not too much of a stretch to assume that the Microgel MP is the closest frame you can buy to Nole's. With this knowledge in mind, I was kidding that all the fanboys out there would scoop up some MG mp's since they're cheap and readily available.
