Not to argue but IIRC, FabFed's Nadal stick came out at 33.3cm.

He was 33cm at Indian Wells this year so I assume that his HC setup and he goes back to 33.3 or.4 for the clay.

Jokes aside, I'm trying to get a i.Radical MP for a comparison so hopefully more pics. And u were right about the grip.

I have a Ti Radical which is what many people agree is novaks racquet

No problem at all

It makes perfect sense. You need more mass/sw for cc and all top players tweak their racquets for cc season.

If you've ended up with the World No.1's racquet, the biggest question would have to be "What are the specs?".

That's hardly controversial. Not my fault that the OP has gone hypersensitive at the suggestion of pulling the grips off.

Dude just go buy one and do as you please with it? Did Mum and Daddy ever tell you no? It appears not........

I have a Head Ti Radical and was curious to see what would need to be done to make it djokovic's specs. Here is one combo that seems to work for my racquets starting specifications:

Swingweight seems to fit perfectly with the previously mentioned 371.

My next dilemma is, should I go through with modding it to these specs to see how it plays?

Its gonna take a lot of lead tape though!

Always good to keep a few ounces around for experimentation.

Well darn...I don't know how I've missed this thread.

Once again, I am in awe....FabFed....one of these days, you are going to open a truly awesome pro shop I feel!

You live a charmed life my friend....thanks so much for sharing! More....please....more!

Fabfed..... you're the anti-depressant.... super-intoxicating... laughing juice-man.....(happy things) and I LOVE YOU!!!!.... seriously though... as much as one straight, god-fearing-man can love another... I LOVE YOU.

Thank you for all the great pics and threads over the years.... a lot of people would not go through the time and effort to post the pics and info. Much appreciated.

Thanks! Dang Feds and Novaks racquets are very close in weight

klementine79 · 07-24-2011, 07:50 PM

^ Yup... but it's not like swinging an 11.1 or 11.2oz stick... you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

It's 12.68oz. for nole and 12.86oz. for fed.... in that weight threshold... blindfolded... you would be able to definitely tell which frame is heavier.

I recently (last week) removed 7grams from my frame and could notice a real difference.

Yep you will feel the difference but It will be noles lighter racket that feels heavier witht he higher SW and lower balance

Sinner · 07-25-2011, 12:13 AM

^ Yep. I have 2 EXO Graphites... one is the JPN spec, while the other is the International spec. Despite them both having a static weight of 346g (strung and leather-gripped), the JPN version is a lot head-lighter than the Int'l version. Very noticeable when you pick it up.

Can't understand how anyone can play with those Djoko-dampeners, i've used up 3-4 in a couple of months, the just keep wooshing off, when i make a rubbish stroke.

Sure, i'm around 4.0, but for the amateur market the dampener should be a problem for most users.

We dont make "rubbish" strokes...

Just kidding, just kidding man, all jokes aside I am using rubber band and I swear its the best dampener I have ever used in terms of dampening the sound, while I personally rarely had my dampener fly off added bonus of this rubber band setup is that it will never fly off AND the best feature is that it is maybe 2-3 dollars for bag of 1 pound of #64 rubber bands which looks like 500 of them in a bag. In other words set for like 10 yrs...

This referred to a troll post which has been taken down, thanks mods.

movdqa · 07-25-2011, 03:16 PM

Then you'd have no problems posting said pictures, correct? Actually, you should be able to find lots of pictures on the web, right?

Fabfed's findings are consistent with what we've heard about Djokovic's frames from other sources.
