Yeah, that is really interesting..
I wonder why Wilson suddenly changed it.
It looks much cleaner, in my opinion.
Wish I could trade my old ones to these new ones..

The BLX logo on the side of the racket looks a little different too

That doesn't look like ALU to me? When did he ever switch from using it anyway?

It is photoshoped, this is the REAL photo from Roland Garros...

Notice the writing on the frame is both different and written the other way.

Why was Roger using a racket with the cosmetic like in the first pic at the exhibitions in South America ???

i think they photoshoped the new PJ in an old picture of Fed's because they posted it before the South America Tour.

You can plainly see the PJ in this video. Rogi gives this lame chick a non Basalt infused version of the K90 PS PJ.

This time last year, Federer practised during the off-season with his 'new' PJ sticks.

See, Priority 1's twitter from December **2011**

For 2012, the same thing is being repeated, but this year he's not in Dubai practising with new new sticks in his private court - he's in South America practising with them during his exhibitions.

I was talking to my son about this. Wilson, to make money has to come out with a new, advanced model for everyone to buy. Does this mean Fed says "Well I like the K-90 but we should change this and that", or like others have said does he keep the same raquet then just go along with the new paint job?

It seems that someone of Feds meticulous desire for exact specs, he wouldn't just change every few years.

I mean they are all very similar, my BLX 6.1 90 plays just like the new Prostaff 90 (New one is a little more head light I think), but it's not really a factor.

I don't know, but it just seems Fed is not going to change racquets in conjunction with Wilsons marketing plans.

Obviously he updates his racket abit, I wouldn't say he uses the exact same frame as in 2002 but of course he got the updates (blx, (K)ontrol, etc
to the rackets. But all in pretty much the same frame. just which the slight change in technologies.

I can not see why that should be "obvious" and "of course".
