Help Verifying Kyrgios Racquet!

[TysonMcMuffin]

Hi, I recently purchased what is supposed to be Nick Kyrgios personal frame from an auction site. While it seems like it’s actually a xi98 based on the throat, shape, and grommets, it doesn’t have the IP serial number on the side of the throat and the swingweight is unimaginably low (289 unstrung and 317 strung, measured on head machine). I was wondering if anyone who had one of his personal frames could provide insight or maybe someone that know more about yonex racquets. Here are the pics Kyrgios Racquet.

Nah yeah bro that’s a personal frame. Kygs has used some L4 and L3 throughout the years and varied SW due to wrist issues

I think that swingweight is accurate. A lot of modern players use a low SW now.

Strange that it’s still in one piece though…

Hahaha

xi98 is what he came up using so seems correct

 

[dgoran]

I just bought it from your link so I’ll tell you when it comes in

 

[Crozzer95]

Yep. Real.

How much was it?

 

[shinminsoo86]

How much was it?

I have no idea how much OP bought but fleabay listed $2k + $170 for shipment.

 

[TysonMcMuffin]

How much was it?

I bought it for ~ $800 + shipping.

 

[TysonMcMuffin]

The one on fleabay isn’t mine and it has the IP code which is why i was worried I might have bought a fake since mine doesn’t have any code at all.

Is the frame extended?

On "The Changeover Podcast", he mentions that the weight is "off the shelf" with a slightly extended frame. Maybe take with a grain of salt
