Arthur Fils specs?

[Lambsscroll]

At 18 he recently won a tournament. I'm sure his racket isn't heavily weighted since he is so young. I know he using the same racket as Alcaraz and Rune but I thought maybe someone might know his string type and tension.

 

[Jfernandes]

I have his personal racquet. He is playing mostly with 340gr, but he weighted up at the middle of the last season to 350gr, adding a lot of lead tape at the throat of the racquet.
Now, he's back to 340gr. the strings are rpm blast and the tension is around 22/ 23 kg depending on the tournament/surface.

Thank you!
Do you know if there is lead under the bumper guard?
Have a good day

Oh and by the way, 350g and 340g are strung or unstrung?

May I ask what grip size is he using?

 

[Klatu Verata Necktie]

Where does he add the weight?

Where does he add the weight?

The throat

The throat

Interesting. How does that help? Does it do anything for stability or swingweight?

It increases the weight without increasing swingweaight

INCORRECT. Adding weight at the throat will definitely increase swingweight. Adding any weight above the grip will increase swingweight. The benefit on adding weight at the throat is not affecting balance point of your racket.

This is correct but the SW boost is minimal. I tested this using a Briffidi. I put on 5g on the throat of my PAVS. SW went up by 1pt.

Any idea of the balance and swing weight?
