What racket is Andy using at the Statoil Masters right now at the Royal Albert Hall... is it a blacked out Wilson Pro Staff?

It's obvious it's the same frame he's been using.
Just not painted. It's a pure drive... Good eye

You're right, from that pic it really seems like it. I never got a good look at the racquet as there never was a good shot of it during play, but the glossy black paint really made the throat look thinner. Better luck next time I guess haha

He is likely no longer getting paid by them with the Roddick becoming the Tour so is blacking them out

Still looks like a PureDrive to me. Just blacked out... Looks way cooler haha Babolat must've stopped their contract with him. He's not wearing Babolat shoes either.

Roddick's a big guy and that head size looks big against him.. do you think he might be playing with the 107, now?

He's being ditch by babolat... Look at the shoe's he's using is a barricade. And string set up looks an hybrid blue main and white cross.

Holding that frame against his chest in the last picture.. that head size looks a lot bigger than 100. Andy is a big guy with a long torso and that frame is taking up so much of his torso.
I think he's using a much larger frame. I hit with the 107 a lot and I don't feel like I am giving up any control. Actually, I don't get enough power.

Nope. His racquet doesn't have the cortex or given how tight he wrapped his overgrip you would be able to see the shape of the Cortex. It means that it's a Swirly or older. Moreover, he uses an extended length and there's no reason to believe he changed even if it can be modded. Good luck finding a Pure Drive Plus Swirly in a 107in² version when you're not even sponsored by the company that makes the racquet in the first place AND when the model is long, very long discontinued.

You are correct that you are not an expert ;-) j/k
... the racquet is his usual pure drive plus with **** paint job like someone suggested I held the stick with my own hands at ****...what is also cool is that they also had the same mold in wood paint and other cool and unusual paint patters wood imho being the coolest since pure drive is as far as you can get away from wood frame so i thought the irony was cool

Im wondering what string he's using. Its either a blue string or a silver string. Maybe a full bed of poly?

I watched the match, there most definitely was a blue string, but I think it was in a hybrid with gut. Maybe back to his beginnings with Pro Hurricane/gut?
