How else do you think that they "boost their post count"?
Thank you. I was able to find a decent picture of her racket from Indian Wells and I clearly see the shared holes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Is this the same racquet Barty and Mertens uses?

So some of the WTA women does really use the Graphene tech rackets. See it works for women, it should also work for Amateur men too. wow, great vibration dampner

What string is Bianca using ??

Agree. I see so many more WTA and ATP tour pros using the RPM blast regular version,, but very few use the RPM blast rough. I wonder why that is ?

Rough is Rafa string! Not shiny string! No glitter.

I don't know what you are talking about. RAFA has been using regular RPM blast 15L gauge for years now. He had experimented with rough version at his academy and he hated it. and I don't blame him.

You cannot buy Rafa’s string anymore! Rafa strings are very shiny!

I personally think she is using the Head Graphene Touch Speed MP that is painted up like the newer Head Graphene 360 MP. The Speed has shared holes at 7T,8T,7H,8H. The 360 does not have any shared holes. Here is a pic of her using the Graphene Touch Speed MP from August 2017. Notice that she has lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock. On recent pics from 2019 US Open, you can see the shared holes but there is no lead tape on the frame. So curious if Head is making her a custom racket with Speed frame and string pattern, 360 paint job but also includes the additional weight at 3 and 9 so that she doesn't have to use lead tape.

When I strung it for her a couple of years ago it was a regular speed MP.

She's also had significant arm issues the last couple years so I'm not sure she's a great example to follow for amateur men (especially those over 40).

well Head claims that Graphene is 100 times better at absorbing bad vibration. and also gives you much much more power while improving control as well.

Did you, by chance, take any Marketing courses at Stanford?

According to scientific American, grapheme is in verge of taking over the world. Graphene is extremely strong and yet very flexible and soft. Plus it conducts heat extremely well. You can make composite out of everyday products and make it better in every way, stronger , lighter, and longer lasting

Companies claim all sorts of things to get you to buy their product. Did Head do any testing on human tennis players to show reduced arm injury with their graphene lines? That's real data. Not some marketing mumbo jumbo.

I'm pretty sure it's been proven on here that Head's Graphene is essentially plastic.

It’s amazing she is able to use such an unstable racquet at such a high level. The Graphene Speed MPs are pretty flimsy.

Does anyone really want to play with this kind of racquet?
Are you built like a small to large home whitegood with western
FH and dhBH? if this is you and like Barty, Andrescu etc then you
must adore these consistently inconsistent swingers.
During the Bencic match, Bencic was consistent until the tie break
of the first set while Andrescu played the same in the tie break
consistently inconsistent with just higher winners than UEs,
very patchy powerful play like selfie media bleats and selfies.
Serena seems consistently monstrous in her play I don't think
Andrescu`s inconsistent play is going to win the day.
Ultimately no one on these forums can master these racquets
the way these lasses do especially Serena

That’s a different take, and pretty insightful.

Thanks TH but its hard to ignore this kind of patchy play at the US and other events
from up and coming players. Its expected from lack of maturity but consistent play
and ranking seems harder to achieve for them these days. Its basically frustrating!!!
On the mens side it seems Meds is having more success this year in match winning averages
for he is the only player to show this consistency using a Djokovic style of play
(albeit with slightly less foot speed, slightly lesser BH but slightly bigger serve)
Maybe closer to Anderson I suppose but with more fight and slightly lesser serve.
If Andrescu could improve her serve to 80% of Serena`s delivery & stay healthy then she could beat her.
If Meds could keep fighting with the same spirit and stay healthy then he will get his chances.
Out of all that only the Medvedev racquet could be mastered by most average to good players on these forums
after all even Chris TW playtester seems to be happy with this kind of setup.

LMAO serenas serving figures with 8 doubles
Congrats Bianca well deserved, heart of a warrior
got a bit worried at 5 1 up then not serving it out
but what a fearless competitor she is denying
the Margaret Court numbers for now to be reached

Great Intel provided in this thread.
When you think about it, given Andreescu's age it does make a lot sense that she would be using one of the old retail speeds.

Im pretty sure the PT113b doesn’t have shared holes, so I would imagine hers is a pro stock version Speed MP (like mentioned previously).

So you were completely and utterly proven wrong yesterday!
Serena was the player with the most errors and she could NOT handle the speed of Andreescu who had to fight 10.000 nationalistic spectators too that didnt understand the game of tennis.

If serena played as she did yes would be proven wrong
The more she has racquet in the throat days the better
as Im always happy when she and pova lose damaging their healthy egos
will love esp if MCourt`s record never gets broken by her but broken
by Nole or Nadal
