Andrey Rublev personal racket. Secrets.

So, there you are - Andrey Rublev personal racket from his winning event - Kremlin Cup-2019. I saw here, on Tennis Talk, so many fakes and gossips around Andrey's racket! And now you will find all the answers and truth about the stick of one the most powerful pace-makers (aka Agassi of our days) and forehand-crushers decorated and powerful ATP ball crushers!

So, his racket is a Pro Stock Head TGT344.3. With lead under the bumper from 3rd to 16th main string, and plenty of silicone in the handle. Swingweight measurement is 341.
Its a blackout paintjob from times when he was under Wilson contract and couldnt show off his real weapon. But under the scrathes you can see the OG Head Gravity Pro paintjob.
Enjoy! Your Welcome!

Again, the real secret that you failed to inform everyone is:
- Rublev frame is very HL
- Rublev racket SW is fairly low (for that static weight (~335 kg*cm2 strung).

What that means is that:
- no matter how much silicone you put in that handle, you will not be able to get to:
a) that static weight
b) that balance
- therefore, there is a LARGE amount of lead under the molded handle

Again...you are welcome. You learn something every day

Does he use synthetic base grip?

Honestly his specs sound very normal. Gravity Pro with leather grip and overgrip. Add poly and maybe 2-3 grams lead under bumper and you have it?

Synthetic black Hydrosorb Pro

Nice easy enough. Silicone/leather grip are close enough in weight addition so very reasonable spec

Yes, I forgot to mention the SW, its 341. Thank you for being my attentive reader.

Balance? I think no one mentioned it. Great post OP keep ´em coming please, most of us don´t have access to pros frames. TY

PD: Are you a former pro?

Didnt check the balance, but i will try to do this next time, when i will bring new rackets for new measurements.
No, didnt play on a Pro Tour, but i played. And since that times have many friends in Pro tennis. Clearly remember how we celebrated bday of Rublev's sister, I believe around 15 years ago. And during that evening in a restaurant little red haired boy suddenly broke into the restaurant hall and began running around the tables. It was Andrey who finished his training session and arrived to celebrate with us))

Oh wow! I didn't see that. Is the balance/weight in another thread? That's crazy headlight

it seems like head made him a gravity pro that allows him to modify it to specs close to his previous 6.1 95.
you can't get to those specs modding a retail gravity. wonder if his RA stiffness is the same as 6.1 also.

It is all explained in another thread before OP knew this board existed.
TGT334.3 and TGT344.4 use the same layup.
