Maybe this has been posted before: It's not an M-Fil 200, its a paintjob.
He uses BB Alupower 1.25 strung with 31 kp (68 lbs).

yesterday he used a m-fil 200 PLUS which just came out on TW, since he is not under contract idk, i think he really might be using it

 

[fx007]

thanks for info )

now how du u know that he used an 200 plus??? u could never tell just from looking the match against nadal. maybe u could find out what kind of racket it is but no way u could differ between standard and xl...

more infos please

Well...the stock paint is definitely different between the 200 and 200+. The 200, which I have, has silver while the + is white. Unlike the LM Instinct(my last racquet) and XL, which are painted identically the same.

With regards to PJs I have no clue (can someone post some pics from the USO?), but unless James is using the same racquets he saved from Dunlop, there's a good possiblity they're PJs (of maybe 300gs).

If this is correct, than he's not using an M-Fil 200-the max. tension of it is 65 (see sig.)

just because the max tension is 65, doesn't mean he can't string higher...

no your wrong it posters like you who make me nuts. hes not using a m-fil and pros dont care about tension range. read something on this board before postign

[Mark S. Hogan]

If they are painting rackets so not to free advertise is one thing, to make you think it is something other than it is - is another. That's false advertising and they should be called on it.

Take a chill pill you idiot. If he's not using an M-Fil then that post is meaningless anyway.

Yea that was an oversight. I must've been really tired or something I forgot...

The M-Fil 200 + has a 16x19 string pattern. Blake uses 18x20. And even his 18x20 pattern is different to the pattern of the M-Fil 200 and to ALL Dunlop 200s. So please stop talking about Blake's using a real Dunlop - HE'S NOT!

 

[Richie Rich]

pro's don't normally switch frames (although Felix Mantilla seems to be the exception with a diff Volkl every match). JB never used a real Dunlop. It's a custom mold, 18x20, and his grips are Prince shaped. Same racquet he's always played with under various paintjobs.

if one of us is an idiot its you. you thought blake used a m-fil and that pros couldnt string over the max tension and you called your own post meaningless.

Hey BUTTWAX, I don't think anyone knows what Blake uses, do you?

And as I previously posted, my last racquet was an LM Instinct and I'm sure others will agree that you cannot string it much over max. tension because I did strung mine at 62 and the frame frayed. It slipped my mind that not all racquets were limited to the tension range suggested by the manufacturer.

Loser, before you get all hyper for nothing just relax and breathe first.

Edit-whoever said ONE of us was an idiot?

Well the PJ was of a 200 m-fil +, so why dont you stfu. Did you see his racquet up close? Have you strung his racquet? I didnt think so. All we can say is that it looks like a certain racquet. You guys need to settle the **** down...

 

[fedex27]

first-you call me an idiot as in "take a chill pill idiot".
second-so still in the 60's is a lot over? i dont think so. maybe you/string messed up. i know that you can string a pc at 36kg which is also a head frame so i doubt much different. who ever said i was worked up over this?
you are the hyper loser/buttwax in this for responding to my post in that way espcially when your argument is limited to close to nothing

Okay I see you're being rationale in all this so I'll be a man and say I'm sorry.
It's not nice calling someone an idiot.

But it you read carefully, I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE who has damaged an LM Instinct frame by stringing it right at max. tension (suggested). It has happened to others. I think if you even check the feedback section on TW for the racquet, someone there has done the same. So naturally I wasn't thinking broadly enough when I posted earlier.

So what, we all make mistakes. And btw, I have done plenty of reading on these forums thank you very much.

Yes I did. At the French Open at the official stringing service I hold it in my hands.

Have you strung his racquet? I didnt think so.

In this case you are right.

That's wrong! I can say that it's not any retail Dunlop frame and especially not a M-Fil.

You guys need to settle the **** down...

Some guys need to settle down, some need to think a bit.

 

[fedex27]

abviously you dont really care, and why would you we just tennis fans on a message board who dont even talk to each other outside this argument. your only ending it because you have no argument

w/e i dont care, but I am positive that i the Nadal match the PJ was of the 200 M-Fil PLUS
