The OP had nothing to do with source. My source, since you have comprehension problems, is UK Skippy. He strings at the majors. Good enough? See, you can tell that if you READ what he wrote to accompany the pictures.

And you were shown your error. In light of that, you continue to cast doubt and your tone casts aspersions (look it up).

And I don't know why you are so obtuse.

No reason? Not only do you not read other posts, you don't read your own as well.

I am perfectly calm. Once again you demonstrate the need to tell others what to do.

This looks like a personal attack from you. Maybe if you could comprehend what others write, you'd glean more from their words.

Hey man, you too!

nobody said its clear except you.

you didnt give a source only when i told you to do so. uk skippy didnt tell you his specs, he never said his weight is 314g i measured it. the only one saying this is you so stop it. you just saw a sticker. you complain about me having comprehension problems without giving any examples but here i give you lots of examples for your very low comprehension. all you do is crying around like a kid on an internet forum because i criticized you for not giving a source which is fundamental when giving specs.

And you were shown your error. In light of that, you continue to cast doubt and your tone casts aspersions (look it up).

no i was not. your source is still not clear. im still doubting that his weight is 314g.

No reason? Not only do you not read other posts, you don't read your own as well.

i read everything perfectly. show me one sentence that i didnt notice. its you who simply doesnt care what i write and keep crying for getting criticized one time for not giving a source. you are behaving like a little child

I am perfectly calm. Once again you demonstrate the need to tell others what to do.

yes ofc. since you first got quoted you made random insults and you were only defending your post. typical attention forum member

tell me what i didnt comprehend. all you do is writing insults at me without any valid arguments

Are you new to the Internet ?

3. You then try to what if the proof so as to invalidate it

Pros don't change their gear that radically. Yeah, it was a Dunlop, and Dunlop tried (and failed) to build a frame just like the Prince he was playing and winning with. Ergo, Einstein, one would conclude that the Prince was of like weight.

Now, just for the sake of argument, let's assume it was a hoax (tee hee). Someone would not only have produce the labels, no big deal, but they would also have to somehow paint "Nikolay Davydenko" very professionally on the target frame. And......they would have to find a showroom floor full of Babolat stringing machines as there are several available AND they would have to want to go to the trouble of doing this ALL to fool you about Nikolay Davydenko's racquets. Wouldn't it be more plausible to do it for a bigger name pro?

Nobody was "spamming", it's called "responding". Just because you have some fixed idea that all pros play with a certain weight range doesn't make it a fact and certainly doesn't make the response "spam". You may want to, at some point, consider that you really don't know it all. Just a suggestion.

The fact is, professional players are just like us club players in one respect. They have different preferences. They don't all play with the same flex, weight, head size, string, balance, or tension. That is why they make more than one kind of frame and string.

I really think you should change your picture from Albert to Pee Wee.

ben123's doubts, in light of the all the proof to the contrary, are like this Dave Chappelle Law and Order R Kelly episode:

I mean, sometimes it just takes a bit more to be able to proof something

Rabbit, not being argumentative but I wonder if now that he's back with his old Prince if he's also back with his old specs.

Before he was using: 346g static, 33.2cm balance, 352 SW and an XL length.

I believe these were from Indian Wells back in 2008 when he was seeing his best results.

For those interested in Murray's spec, I recently had the chance to look at have a quick hit with one of his frames. Put it on the scales at it was 355g (strung, tournagrip, no damper).

It was the Youtek radical MP paintjob I'm assuming over the old pro tour frame. Had two layers of lead under the CAPs at 12 o'clock which made it super head heavy, played great though!

[Federerkblade]

define , played great and how you got access

Hi folks, first postings here so be nice Racquet was donated to a tennis charity here in the UK which I help out with occasionally and I play with some of the guys that work there. It's signed on the grip hence only hitting a couple of balls with it so can't really give a definative review I afraid but I'm used to using heavy but head-light frames, used to play PS 85 now use MGP mid, so was very different. It just comes through the ball really easily, got way more spin than my mid and assume that's due to the string pattern and the balance.

Didn't hit any serves I'm afraid but think I would have struggled with that much weight in the head - tried a few in the past but struggle to the get the wrist snap.

Frame felt very solid, very different from my MG mid and I've hit with a MG prestige PRO as well and it's was different from that. Not sure I can quantify how apart from the weight and balance.

I've got pics here, just trying to figure out how to get them up (can I not insert into the post or do I have to put them online somewhere?)

[Marwood]

See if this works for the pics:

Nice work and thanks for the info, I've been wondering what his static was.

[The Bawss]

I love how it looks like it says "Mummy" on his racket haha. What a mummy's boy.

[movdqa]

Cool. Wish he had clear grommets.
