Ivanovic nBlade racquet specs

[MonicaSelesRulez]

Hi!
Does anybody know Ana's Ivanovic racquet specs (weight, balance, swingweight, stifness)? I'm interested in nBlade (current racquet) specs that she started using this summer.
Thanks in advance!

 

[DADYO]

Can't tell you for sure, but I know that she uses quite a bit of lead tape at 6 and 3 o'clock...

 

[Sagittar]

you're interested in the nBlade stock .. her racquet i presume is far away from that !!

 

[dunlopfan]

Its a paint job people. Look closely at the three and nine o'clock. There is no ncode stuff sticking out.

 

[Jonnyf]

There isn't PWS on the nblade AT ALL

 

[martin]

This is what Jura says and he'll probably know.
As far as i know it's a paintjob of an extended ntour 95

That was an older post! In May I was stringing a nTour Two for Ana and it had about the specs I posted from FO '05, quit closed to stock. But during the last summer she switched to nBlade. I didn't see her racket closed until now, but to me it seems to be a real nBlade with some lead at 3 and 9 o'clock and some inside the throat.

BTW: Meanwhile she switched the strings - now she uses gut mains and poly on crosses.

here's her racket

no idea about the specs, but here's a few photos of her current racket:

doesnt look a real nblade to me, look at the throat...

 

[jura]

As far as I know there are three different styles of nBlades for pro players. I can't really say if this is a stock one or maybe one of the "pro molds". But the head looks stock to me.

 

[f2fanatic]

That is what she was playing in Montreal (she won it also)

 

[tennishack]

who cares about her racquet, I just want to have kids with her....

 

[martin]

Seems a very drastic change to me. A complete different racket with lots of lead tape. A total different set-up . I always thought that pro's played with the same racquet under a paint job or maybe a new racquet customized like their old racquet. This one is probably heavier and with a heavier swingweight.

 

[jura]

Heavier yes. But I don't think that the swingweight is that much higher, if even it is. But you are right in the point that it's a quit big step for a pro. But remember Kuznetsova: She switched from a Pure Control to LM Instinct.

 

[martin]

I thought she didn't have much lead on the ntour because it's close to stock and in these pictures i see a lot of leadtape. According to TW the swingweight is around 330 for both rackets i assumed the nblade should have a heavier swingweight then because of the leadtape in the head.

 

[jura]

That's not much lead on her nBlade - max. 10 gr., probably less.

[Steve Huff]

Her equipment looks fine, as does her racket.
