gasquet string?

[fedfan91]

can someone tell me wat kind of string Richard Gasquet uses?

 

[andyroddick's mojo]

There is a 70% chance he uses luxilon.

 

[ShcMad]

A couple years ago, he used full Alu Power jobs; however, these last couple years, he's been using Luxilon Big Banger Original in the 55-48lb. range depending on surface.

big banger original rough i think he uses. thats why he gets all that spin on a semi western forehand.

 

[Bogie]

gasquet is currently using luxilon big banger original 16L strung at either 24/23 kg during the clay and slower hard court seasons and 25/24 kg on the quicker hard courts as well as during the several grass court tournies. 127mph, he also uses an extreme eastern forehand(between eastern and semi-western) just as fed and haas do as well.

Exact tension

Gasquet came a few weeks ago to play an exhibition in Belgium (that he wins againt Baghdatis in Final).
I've strung his raquet for those three days.
He use Big Banger Original 1.30 and i've strung his raquets 24 - 23 Kg.

What was his static weight and SW, where and how much lead?

Racquet?

Xavier, What about his racquet? It is the Instinc XL?, I am asking this since there is a thread with pictures of him with a painted black racquet.

thanks for the info

 

[Xavier]

It's absolutely the Head Instinct XL he use.
He tried new Head (A yellow one his father told me) but it gave him to much power (it could be the Extrem pro Lujbicic will use in 2007)
He'll stay with this for a long, it's sure.

You're joking.

 

[Xavier]

Absolutely not...If you don't believe me give me your email adress and i'll send you pics

 

[ShcMad]

Xavier, I don't think Ripper is contradicting your statements. I think he's contradicting 127mph's statements. First of all, because Gasquet doesn't use BB Original ROUGH. He uses the regular version of the BB Original. Secondly, because any player can generate a lot of spin with any type of forehand, whether it's eastern, semi-western, or western.

How much lead does he add to the racket and where? What is his balance and static weight?

thank you

Exactly. Anyone who says that Gasquet (or anyone else) gets all his spin from using an "X" or a "Y" brand/model of string is either joking or ______*

*Fill in the blank.

Oh yes because we all know that all string is the exact same at all tensions:roll:


That explains why everyone uses the same string even with out sponsorhip LOL

[bribeiro]

xavier, can you post pics?

 

[hsv91]

Is that right, that Gasquet actually use Luxilon Big Banger Original 16 String with 24/23 kp?

Nothing like bringing up a 5 year old thread. The answer is yes...
