Fair enough point. I don't wanna waste time with all the aggro as well. I know you are a big fan of Nole, let me know if you want some other close-ups or if there is something else I can find out for you about the stick that doesn't require any physical change to the racquet

I'd like to see a comparison between No1e's racquet and the Wilson H22 but that's not going to be happening....

Lol, you remembered. Ya I was really clumsy, was planning to super glue it back but haven't done so

Doubt I can get my hands on one of those, unless someone has it and sends it my way

can you upload some hitting video of it later?

If you have one of Federer's or Nadal's racquets, could you swing it through the air (forehand) three times. Then swing the Djokovich racquet through the air three times and then note which was heavier to swing and if the difference was small or large?

H22s are relatively hard to get compared to TGKs and PT57s. Someone posted side-by-side pictures of H22s and KBlades last night - that's one place to go for pictures of an H22 in a KBlade paintjob.

I'll try to get the SW of all 3 racquets measured at some point soon.

Fabfed,

Thanks a lot for taking the time and doing this.

Can't wait for the specs.

Ross K · 07-17-2011, 05:50 AM

Sorry if I've missed this, but do we have a good idea of the flex? Is it as low as some have previously suspected (ie, low 50s)? Fascinating thread btw.

The swinging thing is a way to compute SW without putting it on a machine. There's an article on TW somewhere where you swing the racquet back and forth a number of times and count the time it takes to do it to compute the number.

Just something that I'm curious about - the frame looks legit from the pictures that you've already posted.

Hi there movdqa, wondering if you could point to the thread. Been curious as to what a Wilson H22 looks like, never seen any pics. Thanks.

great thread Fabfed really looking forward to your findings. Also very interesting to see the fotos of noles lead placement on the hoop.

Well done sir....

Thanks for sharing Fabfed. Looking forward to the rest of the pics.

That frame must be a beast to swing. I can't wait to see the weight and SW...

Thanks for sharing and congratulation on your new acquisition. Always love reading your threads, very informative.

I don't think they'll breed in captivity, but hey, with that kind of investment, it's worth a try.

OP, thanks for sharing, and thanks especially for such impressive photos. If you post the specs on it, I'll look forward to reading them.

Meaghan · 07-17-2011, 12:04 PM

So Nole has lead on both sides from 5&7 to 11&1.......

Fabfed could you tell us wether this is the lighter foil tape or the heavier thicker stuff....??
It makes quite a difference as one is pretty much twice as heavy as the other. It does look like the heavier stuff which is less polished......

No biggie that this is prized piece of memorabilia, more important that we satisfy your curiosity. I'll get right on it, keep your eyes peeled Torres.

What's the point of buying it then if all you're going to do is put in a glass cage? Removing the grips is hardly laser cutting the racquet longitudinally just to see what's inside the handle.

Fabfed bought the racquet, not you!So he can decide what he wants to do with it and what not...If you wanted to know what is underneath the grip so desperately, you should have bidded on the item yourself!
Stop being so greedy and be happy with what he has shared with us.
