Probably those mosnters forehand come from his racquet's weight

it has nothing to do with the K6.1 tour, the PJ is not even Tour, but Matte k95.
Underneath is the PSC6.1 18x20.
Yes, it is much rounder than the K6.1 tour, but it's not the tour model so it makes sense. It's a K6.1 95. You can tell by the 18 x 20 string pattern.

woah..I just mine leaded up in a similar fashion (apdc). I guess my stringer knows a few things 
. Yes the strokes have a lot of weight with this setup.

Yes agreed. This board has a ton of people posting about leading sticks that are just misinformed or do not know how to do it right. del potro's is done the right way. It was so much for me to wade through all the misinfo here, that I just paid a professional to do it so I could learn.
Yes i agree with you too. The pros that you see with lead under the bumper is because their contract says that they cannot have lead SHOWING on the frame.

where exactly is the lead tape in the photo?
I think the consensus of opinion is we just don't know and you can take your pick from a lot of the different 6.1's.... oh and FWIW, he played the HPS 6.1 as a youngster.

One thing most of us know is that he is not playing with the K6.1 Tour...
Seems Prostaff classic 6.1 18X20 with K Six one 95 Paintjob.

can someone show me where the lead tape is? I've been google imaging lead tape to try and see what it looks like on a racquet, but it's not very easy. If someone could just post a description of where it is on this particular photo, that would be very helpful.

at 3 & 9 oclock of the racquet head.

thank you. I thought that might be it, but it looked like some plastic ridge or something that was part of the frame.
I'm guessing he also weighted the grip to keep the head relatively light?
