Basilashvili gear

[alexwawrinka]

Any info on his gear ? this guy really crushes the ball

 

[styksnstryngs]

There should be a thread from the last time he played well, so around the time of the us open.

You learn to hit hard when your parent is a dancer, otherwise you get picked on.

Wears Nike Vapour X shoes.
I'm not sure what racquet he uses but his paintjob is head speed.

I heard it’s the same frame Verdasco is using

And that would be??

 

[McEncock]

pt113B?

 

[niktub]

16x19? pt113B2 then.

 

[McEncock]

I see 18x20 pattern

 

[Frans Bleker]

looks like the same racket zverev used ig speed 315 mold

I'm pretty sure it's the same racket verdasco used under the speed paint when I saw them both next to each other

Basils looks broader to me

 

[NickShot]

For certain the speed aka zverev mold

You're right, I must have been mistaken in thinking it was Basilashvilis racket. Were probably all Verdasco's :')

 

[Frans Bleker]

Also looks like a 20mm beam http://www.brecorder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Nikoloz-Basilashvili-1024.jpg

So Basilashvili apparently switched racquet from Head to Dunlop and played with it in R1 Western and Southern Open. Looked pretty bad though, 36 unforced errors in 17 games, 8 of which were double faults.
Or is it still a Head with a Dunlop paintjob?

#safin2.0? Hopefully not a lesser repeat of the Healop fiasco.

 

[Jouke]

Does he play head hawk?

It’s a real Dunlop

 

[Moonballballer]

Seems back with his old speed in Hamburg? Or does dunlop make a black and white racket for him?

 

[MikhailT]

Its certainly the Speed 360+ PJ, even says Speed on the frame. The head logo is covered up though. Also no stencil...

 

[Jouke]

Didnt seem to gel with the Dunlop

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Any info on his gear ? this guy really crushes the ball

there were some rumours suggesting he didn't only crush the ball... any update on this ?

 

[FootFault18]

My question is: Do pro players without sponsor buy the Pro Stock racquets from te brand factory directly?
I wonder it because of the last paintjob of the Speed line in his racquet.

No

 

[JLub]

He was using a pure drive vs in rome

Wow, quite a switch

 

[FootFault18]

No

Ok, then?

 

[Agassi-Fan]

Poor guy played awful this French open. He doesn’t need any doubts in his racquet to rattle his game anymore.

 

[MikhailT]

Basilashvili now plays in Sofia with a Head stencil again, same Speed PJ as above

 

[bmd9]

Such a weird paintjob, hybrid of Speed Touch and 360. Whomever did it isn’t even trying to make it look right, which I sort of respect.

 

[Gerco]

So @
dr325i
can you give us the specifics on what he uses? Thanks in advance!!

I use Wilson but watching this guy crush the ball the way he does makes me wanna change

I did already
TGT344.3, gravity Pro (same as Zverev/Rublev) painted as Speed

Sorry I didn´t search enough I see...Thanks!!!
I thought It would be a stiffer racquet, I hit a couple of balls with gravity pro and seemed bendy to me ... I play with Wilson PS97L

Pros tend to go for flexier frames

 

[Gerco]

Pros tend to go for flexier frames

To get more control, right?

EA7 taking from Asics design, it seems
Kind of like what Hydrogen did a few years back copying the Nike Vapor 9.5s

I guess he decided to go ahead and wear the real thing as he was wearing the asics today against Alcaraz. I just got a pair of the red novak court ff2 and they seem pretty good so far. very little break in with glove like fit. The only thing is they seem to run a hair long but that may just be me. I like a little space in toe box area anyway.
