Thanks man. I probably won't go that stiff, but going to try the combo after I wear out my current set up.

question for VSB.

Is the Liquidmetal Rad you can buy on TW the same as the originals?

What I mean is there are rumors that the MG rads and LM rads on sale now are lesser remake versions of the originals and don't have the same feel.

The LM Radicals you can get on TW now are Chinese made as opposed to the Czech made ones from before. They still play well, but will feel different than those made during the initially run of the rackets.

It's not bad by any means. I used to play with the MG Radical and I loved it. I've also hit with Chinese LM Radicals and Instincts as well as Czech Radicals and Instincts. While I liked the feel slightly more in the Czech versions, that alone didn't make a noticeable difference in my play.

It's not a mold code. If you put the racquets I listed on top of each other like I have you would see they are the same.

thanks,

i agree with you: i.radical, Lm, Mg are look the same,

but about the codes:

H22057A - Pt57a - TK57 for pro tour 630
H22057E - PT57e - T57e for i.prestige
H22010 - Pt10 - TK10 for p.classic
H22161 - Pt161 - Lm instinct

H22 - is made in austria,
other 3/4 numbers are mold number, isn't it?

Does the blue not look like the backing of the lead tape?

PT10 grommets were updated and changed to TK52 in 1994. There is also PT57B (Radical Tour TwinTube 630 ) that is same mold as PT57A and both took TK57A (traditional grommets) and TK57 grommets.

VSB you are correct on here 99.9% of the time, but not this time unfortunately.

The MG Rad MP is a slightly different mold to the others you mentioned, the beam narrows at the bottom of the hoop (just above the throat) compared to the others, which are constant beam width all the way around the hoop.

Djokovic is using the LM Rad MP mold (without the ridges).

Have I got a later version then? I got it 3 years ago. Are there 2 versions (molds) of this racket?

It is not straight beam though right at the bottom of the hoop, where it narrows only at the throat. If you looked at the top of the racket down towards the throat, it is clear!
