Looks like DY is has a blacked out Babolat or a Solinco frame (looking at the overgrip tape)?

Maybe this is the racquet that will magically make him put in more effort and stop trying to win points in 2 strokes all the time.

Lol. He must be a poster on these boards.

I see the Solinco over grip and the head of the racquet has the typical Solinco NiMesh finish on the sides. It may be a new Solinco racquet.......... :)

The fact that the swoosh kept him is also a surprise while Deplo/Tomas supposedly got cut!

He needs a real coach. He definitely has the potential. But that looks like that new head racquet that head hasnt released yet. let me find the vid.

edit: second thought maybe not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkFhaYDenZM

edit: third thought that actually looks like the new 2013 Head PWR Prestige

16x19 too

That looks an awful lot like the rarely seen in public Solinco Tour series frame. Has the matte black finish and what looks like their ni-mesh on the hoop. It's also the correct 16x19 pattern for the Tour series

Probably not going back to Head. But thanks for sharing the video - 11 Jan now marked on my calendar. Anyone know where that was filmed? Austria? I liked the covered clay courts - that looks like a fun place to hit.

PS - Donald's morbidly obese mom practically invented tennis! Her 'pizza after practice' nutritional advice is a breakthrough in sports fitness. If she can't get him into the Top 10, nobody can. (Note: the previous 3 sentences may contain large doses of sarcasm).

Just won the next round in Brisbane also with the same racquet in the first photo. Had both the Solinco stencils on. I would definatly say it is a Solinco racquet.

Young is 2-0 on the new season!? This must be a wonderstick.

Good to see the donald get off to a good start after such a tough last year.
 
That shot looks a lot like a Solinco Tour frame. Throat area looks a little different but it could be the angle of the photo. The PJ is consistent with the Tour series from what I've seen. Maybe they are working on something new? I'll have to ask them.

He was doing quite well with the exo tour. Then he switched and it was an encore of everything we seen thus far.Let's hope he has found the right one.

And it gets more interesting with lotto now onboard. The one thing he had all along was nike. Not anymore.
