Young beat third seed Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-4 , Qualies @ Brisbane. Perhaps Spain helped.

Just won the next round in Brisbane also with the same racquet in the first photo. Had both the Solinco stencils on. I would definatly say it is a Solinco racquet.

what racket is he using?

JGads · 12-29-2012, 09:28 PM

Young is 2-0 on the new season!? This must be a wonderstick.

Good to see the donald get off to a good start after such a tough last year.

That shot looks a lot like a Solinco Tour frame. Throat area looks a little different but it could be the angle of the photo. The PJ is consistent with the Tour series from what I've seen. Maybe they are working on something new? I'll have to ask them.

He was doing quite well with the exo tour. Then he switched and it was an encore of everything we seen thus far.Let's hope he has found the right one.

This is a new Solinco frame that will be realesed soon.

I have two of them myself and are demoing them.

Feels like a softer mor flexible PD.

Wouldn't you if you were Nike? He had a 17 first round match loosing streak in 2012, probably something Nike wouldn't want to be associated with me thinks.

And it gets more interesting with lotto now onboard. The one thing he had all along was nike. Not anymore.

NLBwell · 12-31-2012, 07:07 AM

I hope he uses the loss of his contract with Nike as motivation to be the best he can be.

He should've trained with Nadal.
Pity he denied the request.

The grommets and the beam shape make it look like an old Prince TT.

+1. The Lotto deal has to be a fraction of the amount that Nike signed up for. So 2013 for DY - no Results = No $$$.
