Default My boy Karlo...new stick?

I've wondered for awhile about when Ivo's Flexpoint Instinct stockpile was going to be boneyard material. After noticing the strange new Head Extreme (2011) PJ on his sticks at the US Open, I couldn't spot the usually very noticeable Flexpoints in any of the closeup pics of him. Then I heard today from an unreliable source that he inherited a stockpile of Microgel Instincts unto which he had painted like 2011 Extremes. This is freaking strange. Any insight, bredren?

he's not listed as a head touring professional on their website, so its kind of just pointless advertising.

Karlovic's grip size is like 5 16/24.



No joke

I like Soderling too. He sticks his chest out when he hits those forehand bombs. I think he's become a homemaker/golf addict back home in Sweden. He won't return unless Rafa does.

Hahaha sorry about that. I do know the grip size is in the teens range though.

Seeing as how Davydenko just bagelled him, this could be the reason.

The blacked out frames he was using mid year were defo still flexpoints, but his sticks in the pic below have no flexpoints but it does look closer to an instict mould.
