Emil Ruusuvuori's racquet

M

MikhailT

Semi-Pro
Looks like an actual 360+ Speed MP. 16 mains, and at least 6 grams of lead at 9 and 3.

Looks like the tgt339.2 pro stock version of retail. Has the player sticker in the throat.
I own a tgt339.2 and had to add lead as they came with very low sw.

I had to put exact the same amount of lead to exactly same spots to bring one of my 360+ Speed MPs to the standard specs listed here on TW :cool:

There are far too many twu members who think you cant win matches with ordinary off the shelf racquets that arent weighted to ridiciously heavy baseball bats. I do have from a stringer info that the Fin uses Hawk 3 strings in his Head. I advice anyone to examine his footwork which explains his power
My former trainer of long ago told us, if you cant get to the ball, you cant even hit it.
Clearky With lousy footwork the most expensive prostock wont help you.

@dr325i Do you know strings and tension? 1.25 or 1.30? Him being a pretty flat hitter I could see him using 1.30 for a bit more control, but Sinner uses 1.25 so who knows…

I have a few sets, not my favorite however, folks at Head love it

@dr325i for us uninform folk, is Hawk 3 simply Head Hawk under a pseudonym, or is it a different string completely? I know there has been a pic floating about with Thiem's US open string set up with a set of Hawk 3 (& Lynx Tour) but people have been saying its simply Head Hawk but in the pro player packaging. However, from your conversation above, it sounds like this is a different string?

It is a different string. I find it softer than Hawk but still crisp. I’d say slightly less spin than Hawk. Did not go well with the gut in the mains for me…
 
Looks like in the Moselle Open, Ruusuvuori has been trying out a darker silvery/gray string. Hawk Touch perhaps? Or maybe even Alu power??
 
Although the new Head Speed 2024 was launched in January this year and is endorsed by Jannik Sinner, the Italian has never played a single match with the new paint job. Even now, with the 2024 season over, he continues to train for the AO 2025 with the Speed 2022.

Therefore, the person who really endorsed the Head Speed 2024 was Emil Ruusuvuori, who is a great and promising player, and has everything to climb the ATP rankings if he stays healthy, which did not happen in 2024.

I’ve had some white pro player hawk3 sets (1.30) and they were very similar to the retail thing. I always assumed it was the same string.
 
What I'm saying Is that from your link It seems as a racquet switch 'cause the Speed MP Touch he has Always used (same of Sinner) has shared holes and the boom in the picture doesn't (at least from what I can see), nice catch
 
Does look Like a real boom MP, based off the hoop shape (hard to tell though), but especially by how close the bottom cross is to the frame - barely enough room for a dampener, just like retail boom mp

Also, 7 and 9 mains skip. The Boom pro is only 8 main skip.
 
It’s a curious change for two reasons:

1. Emil has been playing with Speed MP since his junior years.
2. For Head, I don’t think it’s interesting Emil changing to Boom, because now practically no top 100 player plays with the new Speed model. In the WTA, Samsonova and Muchova plays, but in the ATP, Sinner, who is the new face of the line, refuses to change his Speed 2022. And Ruusuvuori was the only one using the new off-white/black paint job.
