Safin's yellow string is not Big banger. BB is more of a Baige color. it is pretty yellow color like Pro hurr tour or something like that.

Having been in MC until monday i've seen that either Safin and Verdasco (both BBO usual players) are using <testing?> a yellowish, unmarked, slightly rough string that comes in "generic" Luxilon polybags...no other info about it, sorry

Good eyes Fedace, after what Eifel says, it appears that you're right and Safin is using something new.

As usual, we're here in Monte Carlo stringing for Safin. He's using Luxilon Big Banger Original as usual.

^^Surely with Safin maybe, but both Safin and Verdasco ?? Not likely. I think what is going on is, they are stringing just few of their rackets with this NEW prototype string from Lux. and rest of their rackets with BBO. So perhaps we are not seeing this new string all time, causing even more confusion.

We don't have to explain his post. We can't, just like we can't explain 99% of YOUR posts. Ron Yu is Safin's stringer. We don't know who this other guy is, but he's not Ron Yu, and he's probably not Nate Ferguson or Glynn Roberts either. Anyone can make up a bogus post. Watch this.

Roger Federer just signed a lifetime deal to play with Vantage racquets and play in pink high heeled shoes. I don't have the details of the shoe brand, more to come...

See, its that easy. Now you can all discuss.

They tell me that you are P1. Do you guys offer Grip Remolding service??. Can you Re-mold the grip to Size 5 ? Does this remolding process add weight much ? i assume since the grip itself will be bigger so more mold material adding a bit more weight to the handle ??? thanks.

Yea I'm saying that's Ron Yu. You can check out his website at p1tennis.com to see the services they offer. I think Ron charges doubles for morons.

Below is a link to Safin's racquet in Monte Carlo. BB as Ron said.

Right exactly, proving that Safin only has few of his frames strung with the Prototype.

^^Hey, Watch the feed from the Safin match right now and tell me what the string looks like. From the other thread, it looks like they are watching it. I don't have the Link yet.
