Closest recent retail racquet to Novak’s actual Racquet

Dude...stop.
Djokovic grew up playing with LM Radical Tour. Then yes, switched to an H22 briefly, then back to Head, mold based on the LM Radical and layup based on something else that he asked for.
Doesn’t the old Nole frame (pt113b1) have the tk113 mold like TiRadical or iRadical? The only difference I could spot between my LM Radical and iRadical, appart from the lm ridges, is the grommet chanel (deeper on lm) and how it ends ( rounder on lm).

Just buy an lm radical or ti radical and customize it to noles specs. That’s likely the closest you can get. Or try to get a pt113 or 346 from a pro not as famous as nole. Than you only have to pay 800 instead of couple of thousands ;)
Was the Ti Radical similar to the comp instinct in that at one time you could buy it at Walmart?

Not any more. There were a few using them (like Cilic, Dodig and a few more but moved on...)
What did most pros move on to? I sort of thought since the mg rad mp had been around for a long time and was a low power players racquet that would have been a good stick for young prodigies to learn and grow with, that coaches would have had lots of future pros using that racquet. What racquet from head would a kid who turned 15 in 2012 be using unless they had access to pro stocks?

in other words, was there a more players racquet type racquet than the mg rad mp available in 2010 from head?

The MG era lasted only 2-3 years, then Youtek came out and TGK260.x was adopted well and many pros like Fritz and Schwartzman are still using them. Similarly, the IG Prestige was a very successful mold and layup still used today by the pros.

I have no way to verify but my blade v7 18x20 with nat gut 1.25 main and Alu power crosses I imagine is close ….maybe haha? We’ll plays great for me anyway ha
Guessing alot more muted than his Head though


beam width 21 on blade and I read somewhere Novak’s is 20mm

What about the Wilson ultra Pro 97inch or the PS pro six one 95?
