Andrey Rublev: A Force of Nature. .. Racquet and Specs

So i have to give credit where credit is due. This kid has just gotten better and better every year. And is now a dominant force on the Tour.
What are his stick and string specs. ?
I know he was previously using a 6.1.95. and then he switched to a non pws mold. maybe an H22 ? not sure.
Strings i have no clue.
please chime in TT brothas.
 
He uses a gravity pro under a blacked out paint, whole thread about it somewhere. He uses luxilon Adrenaline, I think 1.25, but no idea what tension. Also no idea actual racquet specs.
 
Think I remember seeing his swingweight is around 340, balance at 31cm and racquet in the low to mid 12-oz range strung, but I can’t find where. Definitely a gravity pro mold under the blackout as discussed in previous threads here.

Then why no wilson stencil?

probably because he plays with a frame from a different manufacturer?
and different strings?

I mean, imagine the situation, Rublev plays with:
- Gravity Pro frame, blacked out
- non-Wilson strings
- doesn't appear endorsing any Wilson frame
yet has a Wilson stencil.

It would be quite ridiculous, wouldn't it?

I think gone are the days when the pro was playing with a frame of one manufacturer painted as a frame of a different manufacturer

In the advertising game, there is nothing with more exposure! That what endorsements are all about!

I am still very curious. Why couldn't he find Wilson frame he felt comfortable with ? Wilson could have given him to specs that he liked. or is it something else like contract disagreement ? he just wanted out of wilson contract so bad , he had no interest in Wilson making a racket that he could feel good about ???:unsure:

Wilson doesn't have any 100" frames with thin beams and a dense pattern. They'd have to engineer a mold specifically for him and probably didn't think he was worth the investment.

Making a mold itself isn't very expensive. Marketing a new frame with advertising and distribution is. If they made a new 100 sq inch blade with dense pattern for Rublev, they would have to market it, probably not the one he will actually be using. They could call it " Super Rublev Blade " .. they could sell millions of these, right ? he is very popular in europe

Well, they could just stick an ultra/blade PJ on it and pretend it's a standard issue like they do for Vika.

You cant compare these next gens with todays top 3. If you watched RG carefully, Rafa does a lot more than just grinding baseline. He sometimes even plays serve volley. The dropshots of Djoker are deadly too. Then their footwork and defence is from another planet.

I would never compare them to the big 3. i wouldnt compare anyone to them.
i would only compare these guys to the top ten.
 
Whenever I watch clips of Rublev trying to volley, it reminds me of why I don’t consider him a serious threat.

Or the Russian saying " trust is good, but control is better". You maybe remember president Ronald Reagan, who used this wisdom at the end of the cold war when encountering Breznev. Ronald was in hindsight mile better then the present candidates. Lol

I think you mixed it up with the current dictator: “I lie to everyone and I control everyone”
 
Interesting that Alexander bublik said Rublev uses a racquets that like 700g. So don’t think the 340g weight I’ve seen mentioned is accurate
 
still interested in his string gauge and tension in his "mysterious" racquet.

New line for Rublev !

We should keep in mind this started in a period where he was not playing as well.

Maybe Wilson got tired of him asking for something else or they simply could not make what he was looking for.

I surely wouldn’t rule out that Rublev took the initiative to end the relationship. He has his career in mind and needs to look out for himself. If Wilson is the wrong partner, then leave.
 
Saw some pro, cant rememeber who it was, saying the reason behind Rublev’s power was that his racquet weights around 700 gram. Of course not correct, but guess it indicates that he is using a very heavy stick

It was Alexander Bublik in the ATP Tennis "Scariest Shot in Tennis Video". :)

He doesnt want this Wilson crap. Moving to Head was the best decision he ever made and his game is much stronger now.

It's the same as what happened with Novak.

And the reverse is true for Monfils and Dimitrov, who left Head (via Prince in Monfils' case) to go for Wilson gimmicks and $$, and their games went backwards.

I do agree that he's playing the best tennis of his life with that Head racket. But if he never wins a Major ,, it will be because All Head rackets can't serve.

Baloney.

By the same logic, if I had only switched to Head in my late teens, I could have bypassed D1 college and gone pro!

Indeed it seems Rublev is playing the best tennis of his career ATM.

But just as an example, remember when he took Fed to the shed in Cinci? Yeah, he wasn’t using the Head frame. He had switched back to the H22 that week.

The racquet does play a role. But you guys are putting way too much stock into how big a role it plays.
