Default Verdasco

He seems to be using a blacked out racket in Madrid.

Hmm, that's true. I watched a video of him practising, and judging by the racket's headshape I'd say it's either a Head Radical or a Graphene Speed. I may be wrong though

You're right.

Maybe he's back to his majors (racquets), or he was already using them under the dunlop paintjob and now his contract reached the end.

Saw the match "in situ" yesterday and his stick looks like a Head mid.

Funny his racquet bag is still a Dunlop...

Same leadtape placement of his majors. Maybe he's back with them.

didn't one of the posters who lives in Houston confirm that Verdasco racquet looked identical to 315ltd. He saw it up close since his buddy was a stringer at Houston clay court championship where Verdasco was just few weeks ago

Default Photos of Fernando's rackets

Here are a few photos of Fernando's rackets taken in June 2012.









If anyone has any queries on his stringing requirements, then let me know.

Nice PJ. The real 300 has a matt finish.

Has anyone confirmed what is underneath?

Thats definitely not a Dunlop 300. Looks like Dunlop copied his Major/Tecnifibre frame.
