yup i noticed this too
dont get punk'd

It's very obviuosly a PS 6.0 85 with a PS Tour 90 paintjob. Just look at the throat (the two upper corners) and the fact it has a 16x18 string pattern. I don't doubt that Federer used this racquet but it must have been in early 2003, not 2002, since the PS Tour 90 did not come out until March 2003 (in the U.S. anyway). AFAIK, in early 2002, Federer used a PS 6.0 85 with a HPS 6.0 95 Tour paintjob (red, yellow and black - same as the HPS 6.1 but matte instead of glossy finish).

OP said he was in Oz from 02 to 04 so if he got it post-March 03, it could be a "genuine paintjob" (hehehe) used by Fed.

He also said he got this particular racquet at the Aus Open in 2002.

Yup. Here is a pic from June 2002. Doesn't see to match the posted pics at all.

That pic is from Wimbledon, dumb*ss

[tedde]

AUS open 2003 or 2004, well, maybe Fed got hes rackets from TW as well

[tedde]

Anyway, all can say is that its not a regular 6.0 Holding the rackats side by side there is, yet small, but obvious difference.

Breakpoint said the new PJ wasn't is in use till March 2003, so the point was not that this is Wimby but that this was a 2002 racquet (unless he changed racquets from AO to Wimby the same year)

So you got it in 03 or 04, not 02 as you said previously?

Exactly. Why would he switch back to an older paintjob later in the year? AFAIK, the PS Tour 90 black paintjob did not exist in 2002.

Jisses christ...i was down i Australia between 2002-2004, dont rember what year it was..the year he played the doubles and lost like the first round....
f**king hell

Anyway...i got the racket, thats good enough for me

[Tahsin1982]

good one.

Dude maybe if you have the time you can tell us about the racket spec such as balance weight and last but not least if you ever played with it.

[katarddx]

oh man! i have THE SAME racquet!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ruuzo]

do us a favor and measure the weight/balance tedde?

[chiru]

omg you guys, forget weight balance, just check the specs on the prostaff 6.0 85. to my knowledge he never used the 6.0 with any pj. the hps 6.0 95, looks too big to be 85, so i wudn't doubt that that was the real deal. after that he went to his super special roger racketwhich stil confounds us all on the boards today.

If Federer ever touched this particular frame, then it was not in competition. Federer had already moved onto the larger frame when the Hyper Pro Staff cosmetic was still around. The only cosmetics Federer used on the Pro Staff 6.0 85 frame were those of the Pro Staff 6.0 85 and Hyper Pro Staff 6.0. And for what it is worth, there was not much, if any, difference, in any way, between Federer's old Pro Staff 6.0 85 frames and those sold on retail. So what are the differences you see between this particular frame and a retail Pro Staff 6.0 85? And what's so crappy about the paintjob?
