She’s likely testing the tfight 295 rs based on the frame with the most similar specs in their lineup

As long as it's the same racquet underneath the paint job, why not Dunlop

1000% agree. No one buys a Prince frame because Isner uses one. Iga (on the other hand) could really help revitalize Prince.

Because Dunlop probably doesn't have the money.
Sounds like prince...
Sumitomo Rubber, the parent company of Dunlop and Srixon, is worth about 6-8 billion. They have plenty of money, they just may not want to get into big tennis endorsements.
you need to check the cashflow generated by the tennis division and the marketing budget of the tennis division, not how much the parent company is worth.
how much the parent company is worth is a multiplier of their earnings, which often has not much connection with how much cash or equivalents the company has on its accounts.

She would be a great cornerstone for Technifibre. I think their highest profile WTA player is Daria Kasikina.
How do you imagine she is sponsored by Prince and at the same time playing without their stencil? Her coach also stated their are looking for a racquet contract because she doesn’t have one. Also she is not included on their website or social media. They just put their pic and this is all. She is even training with Tecnifibre now

Head shape is so Oval looking, it doesn't look like Technifiber, are you sure ?
Since TW has a pretty big stake in Prince I suppose they do what they want.

As far as I know, that pic appeared in the last day or two. With the holiday sales and whatnot, I’ve been browsing Prince frames pretty regularly.

Anyone know if she has hit with Bab or Yonex yet?
It would be great if she could stay with Prince, but Technifibre would be a superb choice, too.

IMHO TF has a crispy feel

you are right, it does. it feels boarady on the string bed as well. it is very much control oriented string bed and frame. i thought it was tough to produce spin

Felt the same way with the Prince Beast 100. Spoiled by the Prince ESP racquets and their ability to add spin. Like flypaper

Do you hope she stays with Prince? I'd love it if both parties could work something out.
As much as i like TF, Bab and Yonex it would be kind of cool to see a potential No. 1 wielding a Prince again.

Maybe Prince will finally release their white Tours outside of Japan in the hope of catching some extra sales from those who haven’t noticed she switched brands.

Customised frame from last year. Probably painted like.the rebound. DC customising made her a load of test frames with prince grip.. apparently that's the plan for now

This. I went from Tecnifibre to Prince, and as much as I like Tecnifibre frames, my Prince racquets are on another level in every way.

so does that mean she will keep playing with Prince ? million dollars a year from wilson or babolat is pretty tough to pass up
unfortunately you're not on her team, so she can't exploit the commercial value of your wisdom
Nostradamus
Bionic Poster
her agent is getting offers left and right because she will likely sell millions of rackets every year.
do you mean:
1. she will be knocking at the doors offering random people to buy racket
2. millions of people will have to request credit card in order to benefit of a free of charge debt in order to buy something that they can't afford otherwise today
3. something else?

Clearly she's gotta take the money while she can, it is just the nature of the beast. A pity because I think Prince make the best racquets right now.

Apparently Dunlop and Donnay have already benefitted as many in her native Poland mistook the "P" on her strings for a lower-case "D"
