I don’t get why so many are using one handed backhand, I think it may be a comfort thing or maybe flashy, mainly because they want to separate themselves? Shapovalov, for as good as his backhand can be, is the UGLIEST shot I’ve ever seen.
unless a player / his or her parents / coach will decide that player X will use 2 forehands, it means that on one side that player X will be using a backhand shot.
in short.
both, 1hbh and 2hbh have some strengths and weaknesses, and they are different.
as you can see, at the very top of the game there are players using 1hbh and 2hbh, so this is not exactly a parameter that will make a difference between a talented kid having a realistic chance to get to #1 or not.
and it is not about differentiation.

It is a very modern OHBH, liken it to a "full western grip equivalent backhand"
Aesthetics are subjective but this...this can't be a real take, right?

Idk man, lefty OHBH throw me off. It’s like watching a fish walk or Djokovic serve and volley.

Are his frames made in Austria or just customized there?

Made in China, same factory just like the one you can buy.

@rafa_prestige89 can you give me a quick review of Lynx Tour 1.25? I am a longtime Tour Bite and ALU user so if you can compare it to those that would be great. Thanks!

Looks like so, but in a hybrid.

Yes I can...compared to Alu, Lynx Tour has more control, a little more spin, much more durability, much better tension maintenance and less power. The comfort is about the same.

There are only a few string manufacturers in the world. Wilson has Tecnifibre make the NXT strings

Musetti uses the head PT348.1, the tgk/TGT348.1 frame with a special layup.
I own one of Musettis frames that he used at the Aus Open in the prototype paintjob with an awesome gloss finish.
thanks to the forum legend dr325 for helping me to identify this!

Musetti dished out a nice toasty bagel to Stan today. The PT348.1 must be good

Yes, but the only similarities are the mold and the paint. He has a custom layup and he has much higher static weight and swingweight.

And he obviously has a pro stock paintjob as you see the knot indicators and specs are not printed on his frame...
Rip control is definitely made by Isospeed but, I am not sure about the rest. However, there are a few Head string feel just like any other Isospeed strings... Hawk touch is made in Austria isn't it?

When did he switch?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
It's been a while (February). He played with a blacked out before the Extreme 360+ was released

Did he move to the retail one after testing and when it launched? Wasn't an older layup in a new mould like what HEAD have done with other recent releases?
It sounds so good on contact. HHR and Lynx Tour still I'm guessing?
@Howard H maybe you can confirm once and for all?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
He moved to PT348.1 which is out of KB.
So, not exactly the same as the TGT348.1
