If you ever think about selling that again let me know.
Ok, no worries mate.
I may be selling it. Shot me an email and we can discuss it .

How does she play?
very well. i have one just like that with the rds 001 paint job and it's an amazing frame. the only problem for a 4.0 like me is that it's very powerless and very heavy!!! i can extract no power of that frame. but my god... is it velvet & plush ball striking!

Very cool! I can't imagine hitting with a heavy frame like that for a 5 set match. I have my rdis 100 up to 357grams and its heavy enough.

Looks really good.

No, because it's Pim Pim's racquet, not Lleyton's.

Thanks.
I saw the throat area and it looks just like the RDS/RDX design, different from the MP/SRD, I may be wrong, but since JJ played also with 18x20 I wonder which one was his original set up, the 16x18 or 18x20??

What about it?
Can you take pic of it for analysis.
I thought it was a 2 piece string job, but what have you noticed about it?
Thanks again.

I wish I could afford buying one of those only to see how it plays and to measure its specs.

It was a monster from the baseline and very good in my returns i felt. Volleys were deep and had good placement and mass.Serves felt flowing and had pace and spin and felt like the racket whipped thru well at imapct to generate results that were felt by my hitting partner compared to my regular TGK 238.1.
Great racket.

Hello, I'm Anastasios, a wine distributor from Greece and I'll be playing with Marat Safins' racquet this weekend - a MicroGel Prestige Mid.

Does anyone have any info on this frame?

Hey A, one could claims some rackets are like wine. Like the PC600 in PT10 paint.
Potent, jovial yet discreet and controlled.
Is it a PT you are hitting with?

What's the RDC rating for the racket if you measured it and what is his grip size??
Thanks
