Understood. what about current tension? I knew he was pretty high....

Thanks uk_skippy, any weight or balance specs?

Anybody know the string and guage he uses?

pt346.1 16x19

Good point!

Also, since i am playing with these, not just collecting, i would say that if you took an RF 97 and gave it an 18x18 pattern and could drop the weight so you could get it at Dimitrov's specs, they would feel the same. in other words, it doesn't feel like he has a custom layup...... its pretty...

Thanks! i remember those 93, 18x17 frames. that's when he had the really heavy specs.

i got the racquets 2 weeks ago. its his current everything. I've had his blacked out test frames before. yea, i wish they were a gift! haha

Anyone that wants to see pics, just email me and will send individually. gjtellz09@hotmail.com.

I took off his overgrip and the synthetic grip is a black perforated wilson looking grip but there is no branding or W on it

......from an i.phone

you're welcome! now if someone can teach me how to upload pics to this discussion i will post them, haha

I actually don't know what the exact unstrung specs are because i got these customized with his current specs and his string job. They feel so much better in play than the specs he used to have on some of his 18x17 frames when his specs were floating around 353/33cm.

I have 2 of his current customized for him frames in 18x18, L5. Same hard resin in handle as a few years back with other frames of his i had, however, the big change with him currently is the fact that he dropped the wilson leather and is now using a synthetic grip. Furthermore, the 2 frames i...

What strings is he currently using? Full 4g or hybrid?

Also a good point. they only have about an hour on them and the audible ping matches other frames that i have in the mid forties.

Great common sense MaiTai. All i have to do is go to my basement and snip!, restring.

I dug out an old racquet that i strung with alu power 3 years ago. i remember hitting with it for one session, then haven't used it since. minimal notching. Typically, i get 4 hours out of a set before i break it in a 16x19. I have a hit with a teaching pro this week and i can easily just throw...

great perspective, thank you haha, good one..... elbows pinned to the ribcage...... True words......thanks

I haven't played in competition in say, 5 years. During that time, I've played twice a week, taking lessons, ball machine, occasional buddy to just rally with, etc.... I hit with a teaching pro who is a 6.0 level and i can do 20 to 30 ball rally's at a 5.5 level easily. Not saying that's my...

Hi, i have 2 of his yonex frames, unstrung and can anyone verify string/tension? i know he uses polytour strike but dont know guage/tension. Thanks in advance.

currently using the red but cant find it anymore. i suspect the black version would feel even slightly different than the red because i have experienced this with other strings that are the same name, but different color. where can i get the red? thanks.

...............315 unstrung, 31.9 balance, leather grip. i had a chance to get one of her frames but decided not to.

strange, right? Especially in a pro racquet and gear forum.

having hit with his racuet, i do prefer a slightly more open pattern. but his specs were perfectly fine...... its just the racquet, haha

What can i say? i had a chance to get 2 of his frames, right out of his bag, lead tape under bumper. hard to believe at 11.8, 33cm? thats a very common spec range these days..... tell it to Sinner who is around 11.4, 33.3 ish..........

i have 2 of his recent frames. L4 grip, 11.8 ounces, 33cm. rpm blast rough yellow 1.30. those are strung specs with overgrip and damper

and its about discovering which one works best for you and your body type, etc.....

it just seems that in the platform its easier to hold the tossing arm up, have that hitting shoulder lower, getting that nice power position and shoulder tilt..... think sampras position before initiation of swing. again, whatever matrix makes that easier from one person to another is a highly...

both accuracy and power improved
