This frame looks like PD with PWS BUT it is SO MUCH more comfy it is incredible. Serves are effortless and vibrations are non-existent. I am very impressed. First day when I got it, I practiced my serves for 1 hour (last 15 min in FSA mode) and I felt zero pain and even discomfort that and next day. This racquet gets Bob's seal of approval for massive serving! LOL

Can't wait for December...

The frame construction looks so much like the 1997 Pure Drive. Even the drillpattern for the main strings are a very similar to the 97 PD.

The original PD is by far the most muted, best feeling PD. If Wilson have managed to make a replica of that frame in feel and power, then DING DING DING - We have a winner!!!

It looks great!

just paint job, he's not playing with that garbage. I'm sure he's playing with his Kfactor 95 forever.

The word, 'JUICE' looks like 'aero' on a Babolat.

The colors look sort of UCLA-ish, and sort of Argentine flag, too.

96 headed Pure Drive Roddick, is what.
You can just feel the Babolat-envy.
I'm guessing DelPo will use the 6.1 95....with this PJ in 2012. The string pattern will tell.

I bet the 6.1 Tour 95 (knockoff of the 90) will sell well.

Have to be honest, that racquet sounds freaking cool. If I was not so happy with the EXO, I'd be all over it. I just prefer a more open pattern and thinner beams, but I love how they have a racquet that hits like a PD with much lower flex. That is the way to go IMO.

Bob is this your stick because I'd like to give it a few swings to satisfy my curiosity sometime.

So embarrassing.

Hhha, that is humbling. I'll tell you, the average former D1 college player or teaching pro chuckles at just about all the crap posted here.
Guys with world rankings must generally steer clear of this place to avoid injuries from laughing out loud.

I asked a few friends....and my friend that is South American told me that Robert Farah plays with Babolat, so why would you, BOBFL have a Wilson racquet if you are really Robert?
Is that for real? Players visit this site? Shouldn't they be out practicing somewhere?

Bob uses a paint job and is constantly sent demo sticks since other companies want him to switch.

I figured it was Robert Kendrick, who is from Orlando and currently #227, rather than Robert Farah, who is from Bogota, Colombia.
