i got rogers racquet !!!!!! - Page 2

Rusty669 · 01-11-2013, 12:01 AM

Just out of curiosity, how come there are main strings broken on either side of the racket??

Is it me, or does the grip somehow look bigger than it does on his "newer" frames?
Maybe he decided to use a slightly smaller one...

That grip is too big to be Federer's imo... maybe the previous owner used the racquet and added some size to it.

It's a 4 3/8 with only one overwrap. It does feel different to the retail ones. It's never been used since the Hewitt match.

Looks 85 to me..

@ RFRF : Can you check the balance point ?

How did you get the SW value ?
Thank's

An overgrip usually weighs 5 to 6 grams - plastic wrap would add a few grams but 8 seems a bit high.

Wonder why Federer has gone down in static weight since then?

That is Nadal's SW too

Is this the PS 85 from early on in his career?

No, he had already switched to the Tour 90 by 2003. In fact, he switched to the 90 in mid-2002.

What is a fair price for it if I want to buy it from the OP?

No idea. I guess a "fair price" is whatever the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to accept.

You some kinda wimp? 353 isn't that high...

Ha ha! You bought a racket with a broken string! They really ripped you off!

Just kidding. Congrats.
