Andy Roddick's blacked out.....Bab??

galain said:

I saw him in that mixed dubs match with Kim Clijsters, James Blake and Bethanie Mattek-Sands the other day but couldn't make out what he was using. It looked to be quite thin beamed. Does anyone know?

Also interesting to see Bethany Mattek-Sands using the Head Speed when in the TW vid from earlier this year she seemed pretty taken with the Boom.

Looks like a hydrodipped paintjob

Looks like pure graphite/carbon pattern on Roddick's racquet. Is it unpainted racquet?

If it were naked carbon fiber it would normally not show a weave pattern as his does. The carbon fiber normally used for tennis racquets has fibers in one direction only.

so sick!! super cool, and cooler that you have one!

how’d you acquire such an item?

codonnell said:

I actually acquired it from these for sale fourms here! I couldn’t pass it up and the person who sold it to me was very friendly and gave me a great price. He also offered me the black paint job which I preferred but the frame had too much racquet rash to go for.

I believe this frame roddick used on the legends tour when he first started trying Luxilon alu power blue (Which is one of my favorite strings)
If anyone has any questions on it I’m happy to answer.
I’ve played with the idea of customizing it back upto his tour specs but then I would be undoing what he has on it and current spec is very playable.

Thanks everyone - the darker cosmetic made it seem like a much thinner beamed frame to me.
