In Fed's case it is not so much about hitting long,I think it is all about him having to hit the heavy ball from Rafa on his B/H.When he is on the move with the ball being so heavy sometimes he doesn't quite hit the middle and it drops short.Rafa runs around and,well,we all know what comes next.Advantage Rafa.

sorry dude...

you know...this is all from what the Wilson rep told me...so....believe what you want. i think my source is pretty good lol

Fed Kennedy · 07-08-2011, 02:00 PM

Lol. He's using Davis Cup to demo?

zapvor · 07-08-2011, 02:02 PM

no idea. wilson rep just said that he is currently trying out new prototypes on court. he didint say where or when. maybe its only on practice courts

JoelDali · 07-08-2011, 02:18 PM

I tracked down the Wilson rep.

Indeed, it is true, Fed will take 95sqi sticks out of his bag in between sets to see how they feel.

Do some shadow swings.

Omg...

First 2 pics are from practice, next two are from teh actual match. His outfit is totally different....<insert facepalm pics here>

Lsmkenpo · 07-08-2011, 02:35 PM

So it is completely believable he will switch to a new 95" racquet because some rep from Wilson says so, what do you expect someone who works for Wilson to say.

JD, do you think his racquet will contain Cortex Crystals?

I spoak to the Wilson Rep and indeed Roger's TX95 will have an infusion of Cortex and BLX Crystals for the ultimate in feel, power and control.

The Wilson Rep also told me he will be switching to Red Alert.

so fed may finally not shank those bhs so much anymore!!!

This thread reminds me of when I posted that. 22/21/21 is a familiar 93 we all should know.

Sentinel · 07-08-2011, 08:20 PM

Roger should slip some 90" sticks into Rafa;s bag the next time they play. Rafa will be too busy lining up his bottles to notice. then we'll know how much difference technology really makes

Yes, I realize that. But people who saw the actual match said that Federer was using a bigger racquet (at least in the first set).

Is this Wilson rep a friend of yours or something? Just wondering how you can just casually find this information out on the fedMEISTER!

msc886 · 07-08-2011, 09:57 PM

I think he could use a frame with more forgiveness. He doesn't time it as well as he used to.

In practice or match, Fed needs to post some reviews here after trying different racuqets.

And an exclusive Spencer on-court interview!

Miso · 07-08-2011, 10:54 PM

Did anyone see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGnr5uuMysE

Looks larger to me. I also see that many people -don't- want him to change rackets more so than discussing whether or not he is changing rackets.

Sid_Vicious · 07-08-2011, 11:37 PM

What do you guys think?

looks the same imo.

baseline_monster · 07-09-2011, 05:21 AM

That close up on the Video is not his racket!!!! Its a shot from the other end, the strings are different as well. They have just used one for effect like they do at the aussie open
