From that pic it looks pretty clear to me that the paintjob is more orange like the IG Radical than any Prestige red.

Well yeah.. it is for sure a IG Radical paint job, but her old frame was some sort of a pro stock midsize painted as the IG Prestige, but noticing that the CAP grommets aren't there makes me wonder if she actually switched.

I know it's a Radical paint job. My question wasn't what paint job she is using, I meant if she actually switched to the IG Radical or if it's just her old frame without the CAP grommets & w/ the Radical paint job.

Yes, she really switched to the Radical MP.

Sloane Stephens will be in the top 10 by year end regardless of what she hits with.

That would be amazing if she could that. I really like watching her play.

I hope she really makes, watched the tennis channel piece on her, she seems pretty cool, and works her butt off.

This might be a dumb question, but I'm just starting to learn about pro stock frames, so i was wondering Which Pro Stock did Sloane use under her IG paint job?

I honestly have no idea. I know it was definitely a prestige mid, but which one (classic, i prestige, flex, etc), I simply don't know. Sorry.
