Today I'm with cool content. Two alike racquets. But actually not. Let's make a comparison between Rafa Nadal personal racquet, that was used by him during final at Roland-Garros 2014 and retail version of this AeroPro Drive paintjob. Let's start with visual differences. First: Cortex System...

Length - 68,6 cm, Balance - around 31,5 cm. No-no-no. As a collector of tennis stars personal racquets I'm not playing them, but just enjoy them on my walls, like van Gogh, Magritte paintings) I did it once with personal racquet of my favorite guy named Rafa) my personal racquets fit me more and...

Thank you! I shared all the info I had. I don't have machine to find out stiffness. Strings - i didn't find any namings on these white strings, so I can't be sure what strings are those

Daniil Medvedev is not only the tallest guy to reach no 1 position in ATP rankings, but also a phenom with absolutely unorthodox style of play. Called Octopus by his colleagues and fans, he knows how to be very inconvenient to his opponents. For sure his racquet is one of the most important part...

Today made measurements for swingweight of that TGT292.1 Marat's personal. It's unhuman - 393!!!

And I'm posting Tom Gullikson with TXP Pro PT10. That's great that this magic thread is having a new breath! https://www.imghippo.com/i/UhnD2381GEM.jpg

Can you post it please, or send it to me in personal messages?

By the way, you wrote that the only player that used TXP Pro was Rostagno. Do you have any photos of ATP players with this model?

Mister, you are writing "Marat enjoying some competition again in the IPTL with his PC600 with Graphene paint job" - thats not correct. I own Marat personal racquet from that particular match. And that is TGT292.1, not PT10. Here all the info about that racquet...

Agree, too fast( Like it was yesterday, but suddenly we are in 2024... I suppose my neighbor went to Tashkent that time in too relaxed mood. But Marat used to do that too often) He lost to Srichaphan in QF. My result in media doubles tournament was a little better, as I reached final. That's my...

These blondes at AO-2002 is a very popular story and is known by the all tennis world. But while living with Safin the room next door at Intercontenental hotel (the first 5-star hotel in Uzbekistan) in Tashkent in 2002, I know much more interesting stories about my great neighbor that week)))

I've always been curios - who would be the real GOAT if fantasy tournament could gather all the best from different periods. And these best players would be on their best, on their given day. Relatively speaking, speeds, phisical conditions and rackets now and during Rod Laver era are completely...

Several years ago)

Hahah My version: the talent to beat those, who had all the talents Luckily I'm not the author of this joke, as I don't like it at all. First I've heard it, I believe, in 2004-2005. Nadal and Djokovic were nonames to enter such folk humor)) Especially after Marat didn't notice Djokovic in...

Marat Safin is a pure legend. He was a player with a talent and capabilities near infinity-level. In Russia we have this joke: God decided to distribute talents to the best tennis players. Big guy from Omaha Andy Roddick came first. - You are so big and strong, perhaps I will give you the most...

Thank you so much for such a warm welcome back! Yeah, was banned for all these months. But didn't waste time) Made my collection more sweet in all aspects)

Aloha to all Fischer fans! Just facts. I had phone conversation with Yevgeny Kafelnikov. I recorded it, so now have all the proofs about Kafelnikov and Fischer racquets on my hands) First of all, he didn't remember exactly when he signed with Fischer - 1993, or 1992. About favorite paintjob...

Never heard about that and never faced such stories

The answer is - yes! Mister Gromov, who actually told me the story about Karatsev's racket tricks, also mentioned that long time ago he faced next situatuon. While stringing at Kremlin Cup in early 90-ies, one player asked him to do the opposite to Karatsev's racket thing - to make stringing...

Stop, Stop! You was a bit inattentive) On one of the photos you can clearly see silicone in the handle! So Kafelnikov used an ordinary (like Nadal with his APD) Fischer Vaccum Mid Plus / VT Pro 98 / Pro 1 mold in 330 grams version. After that he added silicone in the handle and thats it. Nadal...

Fischer produced this mold in two weight versions - 320 and 330 grams. Kafelnikov used the heavier one

I have read this post and have seen that pic. But more i believe my own eyes and experince. Was following Kafelnikov since 1995, and i dont think that on this planet there are a lot of guys who knew this subject (Career of Yevgeny Kafelnikov) better. Maybe on another planet, why not. Kafelnikov...

As you can see - no lead tape on this racket, and i never saw lead tape on his rackets

So, there you are. As i promised, im presenting you one of the most unique rackets in my huge collection. This racket was the diamond part of Anatoly Lepeshin's collection. He was Kafelnikov's coach from 1991 till 1997. In his interviews Kafelnikov mentioned that the main builder of his success...

We can make any guesses we like and we want, or we can take a racket that was used by Aslan and make some measurements. What i did

TT Mid Plus Pro = i meant TT Pro. Thanks for your answer about differences. Yeah, as i thought non-Pro TT is like a "budget" version of TT Pro with with a "budget" layup.

Man, all i want to say after just finished reading your article is - T H A T is H U G E!!! It was a pure joy to read all this info while having lunch this rainy Moscow day. Thank you for your trully Fischer passion and your knowledge! I agree, that smoky, or as i call it - marble paintjob with...

Actually two different rackets with different molds: VT Pro 98/Pro 1 is tapered beam, and Pro Classic is constant beam) Anyway, a great classic racket too!

Man, thanks a lot! Im very glad that on such a big planet of different people and their different tastes we have found our tag line - Fischer rackets! I will write a post about Kafelnikov racket next weekend. And today i want to share with you my happiness. Today, in my second wedding...
