I could not deside which one it was between those two strings. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

The way his grip setup is for one-handed only.

gavna · 10-10-2012, 01:00 PM

Considering how crappy he has been playing the last few weeks maybe little Richie needs to start wrapping his grips all the way up the pallet?

What does that have to do with anything?

Cup8489 · 10-11-2012, 08:04 PM

Certainly is interesting that he's choosing to not wrap any higher than that..

curious, the pallets he's using, are they like the traditional head pallets or more similar to a wilson shape? I know the speeds come with a more square pallet, but my MG extremes come with the more traditional head pallet.

Just wondering in case I decide to get the more square ones.. if this is what they're in fact called.

Also.. why are the pallets on his and the radical tour previously posted grey? mine are black.. different composition perhaps?

Head altered the shape, and color of pallets on their newer rackets. Or it at least feels that way to me.

Gray looks better. Not that it matters but I was using 1 tourna over the pallet for a while. didnt make it to the top.

greystar403 · 10-12-2012, 09:28 AM

I found that Tourna never makes it all the way on my IG Extreme Pro. It always makes it on my brother's Prestige though...

Tennisguy777 · 10-12-2012, 09:32 AM

So what is the head size seems larger than a 98. Also any specs like balance and flex sw and static weight.

The extremes have longer handles than the prestiges and the radicals. I can get a full tourna xl all the way to the top on my 4 1/2 handle MG Radical, but not even close with my 4 3/8 extremes.

I have a question about the Flexpoint Radical Tour I was fooling around on. I just popped open the butt cap and there is silicone inside and I just noticed the butt cap says 5 1/8. Is that normal? I'm sure it's nothing but the silicone inside surprised me and might explain why these are still the most solid racquets I've ever hit.

what is the name of the shoe that richard gasquet is wearing?

darklore009 · 10-13-2012, 04:26 PM

ASICs gel resolution or speed

I think, and others have shared this thought on the boards, that he wears the Asics Gel Enqvist from several years ago.

Kenzik · 04-25-2013, 05:31 PM

Hi guys. Does anyone know if his racquet is extended?

Kenzik · 04-25-2013, 05:35 PM

And possibly his racquet specs?

dgoran · 04-25-2013, 07:07 PM

Unstrung:
347g
348sw
12" (30.4cm) balance with tourna

I believe he is still using the Liquidmetal Instinct Tour XL which had a 100 sq. in. head.

dgoran · 04-26-2013, 09:20 AM

Yes extended I had a picture that ukskippy posted its 365 strung but that's without 2gr damper so if we want to be picky 367
