Dominic Stricker Racquet

[AdamKJor]

Hi guys,

Watching Stricker at the next gen finals destroying Draper, and having watched him at Antwerp and Basel, I’m curious whether anyone would have an idea as to whether he might be using a pro stock?

It’s obviously an 18x20 Speed Pro mold, as makes sense with his flat game, but more exactly what racquet is it?

The Stricker Striker?

String looks like a hybrid like Thiem used: Head Lynx Tour mains, Head Hawk Crosses.

It is the TGT339.1, pro stock version of the Speed Pro retail.

It is the TGT339.1, pro stock version of the Speed Pro retail.

What are the differences between the two, apart from presumably tighter qc?

There is no tighter QC.
Same mold, same layup as retail, just no commercial weights making the pro stock lighter and easier to customize

congratulations to Hamad Medjedovic!

looks like Abdullah Shelbayh from Jordan and Next Gen finals participant also plays some sort of Speed.

Flavio Cobolli plays some sort of Radical too

any insights?

Hawk in the mains, Lynx Tour in the crosses

Hawk in the mains, Lynx Tour in the crosses

What is the difference between that and the tgt301.4?

 

[daxcuse]

Any idea of the racquet specs?

From the pictures, it looks like lynx tour main and hawk in cross - anyone know tension? Announcers described it as low or very low during one of his nextgen matches this year.

 

[dr325i]

What is the difference between that and the tgt301.4?

Totally different mold. 301 vs 339.
Also, 301 has shared holes and 339 does not

The folks in the Head pro room are really good about sorting raw hairpins by specs. That was a given player will get a batch of frames with very similar starting specs before customization.
The hairpins are labeled with batch #'s, and it's not unusual for a player to receive say 8 frames that have been pulled from a group of over 100 (TGT models). Less for PT frames, but you get the idea.
