Are any pros using the RF97/PS97 mold?

[penguin]

apart from Dimitrov with his custom 18x17?

It's been around for long enough now that there could be some young players coming up with it.

Every Wilson pro and his dog had a ps97 paint job for a while on their six.ones- forget about them: who *really* uses it?

If, like the clash, none of the pros use it then why?

Wasn't there speculation that Ons Jabeur was using it? Can't recall if this was ever confirmed.

Ons in 18x16 =)

Max Mirny played with it late in his carer https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficheiro:Max_Mirnyi_1,_Aegon_Championships,_London,_UK_-_Diliff.jpg
some guys on senior tour (like Leconde) played the RFA also at some point

Federer retired yet the ps is sold out everywhere.

kvitova, jabeur probably. Gotta be a few on the men's side too.

Not sure about pros but I always come across players looking for a v.11, too bad they stopped making that racquet. v.13 RF was good but something was lost in that last version.

jabeur is using the 97LS with a thicker beam but its a PS97 yes, Kvitova continues to use the N-Tour/H-Tour/HH 5.2 or whatever one of that line of racquet she uses is

The Brazilian guy?

Didn't he played with Bab before? Huge change...

What would you or those players you mention say was lost when compared to v11? From the forums, I can see a lower swingweight, but I haven't demoed any of them yet.
