he is using a a pre-released slazenger 1Xtreme (name subject to change) that should be released around wimbledon this year.

But sadly it will only be sold in the UK by slazenger/dunlops new owners

Iv never played the stick I just know for a fact that Slazenger didnt know at first henman actually used a 6.1 pj, nor did anyone else when the story got out slazenger decided he had to start playing slazenger so bought the 6.1 mould off wilson obviously had to modify a bit, remove pws whatever, and so tims stick was created. Or something like that!
