Take away Nadal's "rocket launcher" racquets and he's an average player
Hitting bullet passing shots from 15 feet behind the baseline....so many clean winners....Why? Skill.....nope its the racquets and poly strings.....
Nadal just has learned to embrace technology more than Federer..... take away Nadals racquet and he's just another pusher from Spain.....he wouldn't even make the top 20 They banned the spaghetti racquet.....they should do the same now....If players used the spaghetti racquets today they would get crushed from today's technology... |

It would be interesting to see how Nadal would play with Federer's racquet (and vice versa).

Consistent baseliners aren't anything new (Borg, Connors, etc...), playing with westren grips and spin isn't anything new - Nadal would still be tops.

... then by the same logic (or Ilogic) any average player with the same racquet and string set up should playing equally good, right? ... no I do not think so.

I'd like to see Nadal play with spaghetti strings.
On clay.

its not the racquet entirely but rather the player that has the game i do agree that the racquet and equipment does aid the player to his playing style, but by no means would it make him considerably less of a player with less equipment you could take it to extremes and then you should see some degredation of his game, but thats extremes, and if all the players when to that extreme, there you would find nadal again, with the same game he has been known for

Agassi used a 107 square inch frame during the 90's. Your point?

Let me guess Nadal is also on steroids OP?
Get real. Nadal has a ton of talent and I would love to see you to try to use his racket as someone earlier said unless your game is suited for it you are screwed.
