Sam Querrey's racket

[tenniskillz]

Anyone know if Querrey is staying with the O3 Hybrid Tour or switching to the Rebel 95? It still says he's playin with the HT on the Prince website but when you click on the racket nothing comes up (maybe discontinued?).. Anyone here any news on this?

Don't know what he'll be playing with but the Hybrid Tour is being discontinued (as is the Speedport Tour). If I remember correctly, he used to use a Diablo, so maybe one of the Graphites will be to his liking.

Here's a link to a picture from last week with Querry in action. It appears to still be his hybrid tour.

He is not using a Hybrid tour, at lease not a normal one.
If you see the image #84247681 the racquet has 7 o ports, but in a normal hybrid tour there are only 6. You can look at it in the tennis warehouse photo of this racquet.
Also I have one of this racquets and the shape in the querrey photo is more rounded than mine.

Shut up. If you're so upset that nobody has responded with an answer within 4 minutes of posting, you need to do one of the following:

1. Answer the damn question yourself, instead of moaning and whining.
2. Don't post.
3. Get the hell out of here, and go to a board which has a higher population.

Word going around is that Prince is making a exo3 Diablo. Maybe he's holding out for that.

if you look on the opposite side there will be 6 ports, they are uneven so in the end they match up. have a look on any o3 racket. the frame will properly be the same as the model made public but modified to his weight and balance liking.

it's not a retail racket. 18x20 O3 Hybrid Tour. They are floating around out there. I have 2 and desperately in need of a 3rd.

where did you hear about an exo3 diablo? that would be great but i don't see prince adding another control frame unless its an upgrade for the white.

also, what was the deal with the 18x20s? to my knowledge they were never sold or marketed anywhere, so i suppose they were only available to prince-sponsored pros. biggie, does your racquet say where it was made?

you're right about the 18X20 model, It was scheduled as a "release" here at TW, but Blake left Prince so it went no where.

Yes, I've heard it as well from Prince. It's looking like a second half of the year release.

It looks like sam is staying with the previous model..

No........

[vsbabolat]

I don't think it is the same O3 Hybrid Tour that is sold. The head shape is different on Sam's racquet.

[red clay]

Sorry, but if you look at the firts photo you can see the 7 port, not the six of the original one.
this is not the seame racquet that you can buy in TW - for example.
this racquet has more than a simple "model made public but modified to his weight and balance liking".

he played yesterday with the hybrid tour

Sam's racket has more ports ?? usually pro's rackets have same amount of holes,,just different specs like stiffness, weight etc..

Flat out wrong again. All the top players have completely custom frames made for them (aside from Nadal and Roddick). Sammy's frame is no different.


The frame in the first picture looks radically different than in the other two. Different shade of red, etc... Anyone know why this is?

Also, it seems like he's using a new setup. I know he used full ALU as a junior, and then in the bottom two pictures it seems like he's using a Signum Pro Poly Plasma / Natural Gut hybrid, whilst in the other one, it seems like straight Lux and gut.
