Hingis' Racquet

[jgregory]

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm the racquet specs of Martina Hingis current stick? I have searched the forum and can only find she uses Yonex AI 100, but it is a PJ as this racket has a 16x19 string pattern and hers is 16x18.

I found one post with weight 332g and balance 328mm. Was also wondering if it is standard length racket or not?
Would like to know length, weight and balance all strung if possible.

Saw she won in doubles at the French today, good to see her back!

Many thanks!

Open your eyes very widely and count again. it's 16x19 string pattern and it's AI100.

So you're trying me it is just a stock racquet???

The AI 100 is a great racket. I play with RF97As, but still found it a very nice, despite weighing 40g less. I had it strung with Yonex Poly Tour Spin 16L (1.25) @56 lbs which reigned in the power of the racket (albeit a fraction of the power of the RF). I didn't keep it as it needed weight, and the high sw and balance ment too much tinkering for my taste/modding ability.

I see a lot of wta pros use this racket, and I bet they use them pretty much stock: imo, if you're considering customization, you'd prob. be better of with another frame.
