A Superb chart thanks Faultfoot

This is one of Federer's actual PSTour90's!

It has a printed Federer signature and no rough paint around edge of racket and a Fairway leather grip, otherwise seems same as a retail PSTour90.

@Faultfoot: Great job. Thanks a bunch.
@jimbo333: Where did you get the frame from (or do you only have the pic?) do you know which gripsize Fed is using?

I would say that theres not a camp that opposes that, just a camp that says "You can not know!". But true, that is how it is most often.

I'm a racket noob here, but are we all concluding that Federer has had the same racket for 6-7 years - it's just the paintjob thats different?

I was listening to Mats Wilander on Eurosport commentary and he was absolutely 100% sure Federer has not changed his racket, just thats it's "..a bit more white" now...

Courier asked him on court a few days ago after his match. Fed said he has basically used the same racket since he switched from the Sampras racquet, with just some minor tinkering with things like string tension etc.

(Just got back from Asia and haven't checked the boards in a while). Nice to see some pleasant responses. What an epic AO final and a great way to start the tennis year!

My pleasure in updating the chart. You're quite welcome jimbo333 and frinton.

Speaking of rare frames and Federer, how about this beauty? This is a PS 6.0 85 with an HPS 6.1 PJ.

And I have to add this gem: PS 6.0 85 with N90 PJ.

Very true. Agreed.

Hello Jimbo333,
can you post others photos of this racquet, the Federer's actual PSTour90's? Thanks in advance.

Reviving this thread to say thanks to faultfoot cuz I realized I didn't the first time.

My HDD crashed and I have lost about 1.5 yrs of tennis pics collections. Now I am going thru TT to get some of those back.

Thanks, martini1. It's been a while since I last visited the boards. Here's an update:

Not sure if I edited correctly. In any case, here's an update to the master list. Year 2012 is now in the books!
