You can even see HEAD on the bumperguard.

Interesting... Could it be the same mold as IG Radical Pro?

Weird thought that he still has the Yonex bag.

^ He's under contract with Yonex still. That's why he isn't stenciling his frames and still has to carry his Yonex bag.

It's a 16x19.

It is a Head Radical, VS as usual is quite right. Yonex are trying to make him another prototype but they keep coming out too stiff, hence he's using the blacked out Head in the Yonex bag.. It will be interesting to see him practice in the next few months to see what Yonex come back with to try and keep him.

right - it could be murray radical pj of pt630 drilled to 16x19 or blade 98 (or Hxx pj). my guess is the former.

Yes, Tomic's racquet is the same mold as the IG Radical Pro. Tomic uses the same frame as Berdych 260.2

Is there a difference between TgT and Tgk for this 260 mold?

I had some talk with a few people in the bus. The last problem in this whole thing is the racket, any company can make a racquet for him just how he wants, the issue is money, nothing else, lets not blame his poor results from clay season onwards to the racket, he actually played great at the AO last year, made the semis before the AO and then phased out, if there was going to be a problem would have been before, right when He switched when usually every one has issues with timing, shot length and so forth, to say anything about the racket is hipocrisy.

Just watching a recorded Tomic AO match now. I agree it looks like a Head frame, but it really looks smaller like a mid to me. Maybe it's an optical delusion since its blacked out.

The Australian newspaper reported it the other day as being a Head Youtek Radical MP 18x20 the other day. Having said that, I'd trust the Australian media as far as I could throw them. The commentators here don't even know what poly strings are.

Yonex manage to get Joachim Johansson move from Head (he was using a PT10), so money aside.... maybe Yonex can deliver and produce something flexy enough.

The IG beam is thicker, I think.

The location of his damping rubber band is within [inside] the string pattern ... which should be against the rule. May be someone should alert the AO officials to do something ... ^^

Crisp · 01-18-2013, 03:05 PM

Does anyone know what string he is using at the moment, has that changed too since he changed frames or still using the same strings as with the yonex??

Big John · 02-10-2013, 11:36 PM

Tomic is using gut mains, flex infinity black 53/53, pre-stretched..

mikeespinmusic · 02-15-2013, 07:31 AM

I heard its his old radical.
