Any string specs? It looks like he's hybriding with something, obviously one the types of string is Big Banger. Maybe it's just the lighting in the picture.

What I want to know is if Gasquet uses the same rectangular handle shape that comes with head racquets, or does these guys change to a more rounded grip shape.

Is it just me, but my forehand is way better with a rounder grip shape.

If anyone has info or pics to show this, it would be great.


I prefer the rounded grip also.

lol im looking forward to when someone uses hawkeye and gasquest just snorts the line right off the court.
I tried snorting Coke once, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose.

Thats the worst joke out of all of them that people have posted! :D

It amazes me how they can paint the racket exactly like the original, even though it is a different shape and has the LM ridges. I take it its done by a machine?

I agree. Its crazy to think they can just paint any frame to look like any frame they want to look like.

I think it's kinda lame how none of the other french players are standing up to him, but I guess they're kinda pissed with him for being such a flashy little pansy who bails on Davis Cup matches. :-\
I like gasquet, I really really hope he doesn't get suspended, that'd be really really lame.

Think you meant for him. Actually, this isn't really true. Maybe it's just the gaping hole in tennis reporting in the US press that leaves that impression.

In Lequipe, the French sports daily paper, Tsonga, Santoro, and Llodra (and maybe others that I didn't catch) have been on record supporting him, in the sense that the situation is lame. L, lame. I don't think it's any smart person's place to step up and say he didn't snort anything that night unless they were with him, and they haven't said that. But these are his closest friends on tour. What they've said is no way he's an addict, and this is all BS. This is pretty French imo - there's a clear (excuse the pun) line between performance enhancing and recreational drug use. At the same time, this is a nightmare for French tennis, and my take (based on the Roland Garros coverage here) is that it's the kind of situation that they're afraid to mention... like saying the word cancer. TV announcers were lowering they're voice mentioning Gasquet (the best grass courter) in reference to the grass season. Finally, there was an impassioned, articulate and common sense plea in Tennis magazine (French - not the bs US mag of the same name) for leniency on Gasquet, which I hope makes a difference. The Tour de France wouldn't ban a rider for 2 years for drinking too much wine, and Gasquet shouldn't suffer the same fate for partying too hard. Bad judgement, you win... if anything, he should be punished for partying and ruining his chances - for not taking his talent seriously, not for enhancing his chances.
