Gasquet racquet question

[Dave M]

I know he used to use the LM instinct, photos and an sneaky peek this year at wimbledon seem to point to the fact he's still using something similar but does anyone know why he uses the extreme paint not the instinct one?

My guess would be that HEAD want's to have different players promote different rackets. I could see wanting him to use the Instinct PJ before, but now they have Sharapova and Berdych endorsing it.

I appreciate they have a pretty solid line up of both genders with the instinct now, just seemed odd because they could say "Richard uses the instinct" without having to say endourse etc. (not that morals bother advertising to often!)

Agreed. Now that they've changed the string pattern of the Instinct, it would be easier to pass it off, as Gasquet uses the LM Tour XL with a 16x19 string pattern. With that said, he's been endorsing the Extreme for a while now, and I doubt HEAD will make a change.

Is there? ;-)

By sheer luck, yes!

The one on the bay says it's an 18x19, Gasquet uses a 16x19...

Error on listing. 16x19 frame.
