All this talk about paintjobs actually did some good for me.
I play with a pro staff tour 90.
i like the raquet very much but was very dissapointed to hear that fed does not play with this model. the fact is , we dont really know what he plays.
I know that many players customize there raquest in terms of weight distribution, strings and stringtension.
example : fed plays with 25 kg and i like 27 better. but what really dissapointed me about this whole deal is that first, i was lead to believe that i purchased the same raquet as fed, it was not cheap but if the no1 is using it i thougd , it cant be bad.
second : there are thing which you can not change like the raquet flex and the stringspacing , now i am sure that the stringspacing is different on feds raquet than on the tour you can buy and if reports are correct the beamwidth is different to. so , the raquet fed plays is nothing like the one they claim it is.
So i ask myself : why does wilson deny me this wider string spacing to get more spin like fed has on his raquet ?
And that did it for me.
after all: i am the same size as fed and i wheigh just as much, i can swing the same as he can because my arm is not any thinner than his, well maybe a little. i may not have his timing or footwork but when it comes to swinging the stick, well, you get my point.
So after all this about paintjobs i reviewed all my raquets and started testing a lot of others. heads, yonex all kinds and yes the tour90 is still a massive raquet but its just one of the pack so now i got myself a new stick and it not a wilson anymore. (i tested the wilsons 95 too but the head felt better.)
