This really shouldn't be too much of a surprise as we all knew it was based off of the Radical mold.

Im completely aware of that, threenil03 needs a little convincing that the frames are completely different

Many thanks once again FabFed.

Great pictures!

The grommet strip seems to go a little longer in the Djokovich frame. Also, it looks like it might be a quarter-inch longer than the retail frame.

I noticed a lot of lead up top - is that 1/2 inch lead-tape as it looks wider than the tape inside the frame. I think that I prefer the CAP grommets because you can hide everything but it hides the decoration on the outside.

It's pretty clearly not a retail frame. The thing probably swings like a club with all of that lead tape too. I think that it's interesting that the swingweights of the top three are all quite high.

Pictures can be deceiving with angles and what not, maybe fabfed can tell us what he thinks.

Its not a radical because radicals dont have round edges, radicals are more knifelike or sharper(sorry I don't really know how to describe it)

I'll help you out:
When we say radical we are all referring to ti radical mold also found in iradical , mg radical etc...NOT new yt radical you are thinking about...

Have you tested the grip for Novak's DNA in the sweet molecules to be sure 100% it's Novaks' racket

Fabfed - Can you take some pics inside the handle to see if silicone was added to the handle?

Great post by the way.

TaihtDuhShaat · 07-16-2011, 09:33 PM

Thanks for all of the detailed photos Fabfed. Please take a few more close ups of each part of the bumper region. I'm really curious to learn how the lead is placed at the top corners (the 10 and 2 region).

FedExpress 333 · 07-16-2011, 10:04 PM
