Murray to Yonex

Funny thing is he changed from 95 (93 really) thin beam soft racket from 1993 to 100 si wide beam new model and its all based on reaserch and alot of testing.

I think he knows the best what racket he need to make his current game more effective
 
I watched Murray's match in Bordeaux online and it's obvious he's still adjusting to the new racquet. He appeared to be hesitant to really go after the shots with many of his balls landing short in the court (inside or just past the service line). He was sort of pushing the ball around the court. When he did swing out on the shots, he missed long/wide by a decent margin. He's got some work to do for sure in terms of dialing it in.

Am i the only one that thought his movement was the main issue in that match, rather than the racket?

No attitude, just a genuine question as it is not the greatest picture in regard to seeing whether there is lead or not. Even more so when making observations on how the lead had been applied. Not to worry, everything around this on here is pure speculation at this point, as there will only be a small handful of people who have been involved and know the details.

You are probably among that handful of people involved in the switch since your company's label is clearly on Andy's frame. I get the secrecy and respect it, what I don't understand is the need to dismiss other people's comments

Because rather than provide insight or simply keep their mouths shut, they would rather dismiss and belittle everyone else’s comments to make it known they’re privy to info that we aren’t. And I’m referring to both of the pro stringers who’ve posted in this thread.

Movement's always going to be suspect because of age and injury history at this stage in his career but he didn't seem so hesitant to swing with his previous racquets. It was clear that he was measuring his swing with these new racquets.

What 93 lol. A PT57A is a 98 when measured from the outside, 95 when measured conventionally. Murray never used anything below a 95.

Well...now it seems like Jonas was right with his story and he deserves an apology since there were some comments about him creating clickbaits and talking crap...now you hear it from Andy himself.

I suppose it’s a case of crying wolf, if one creates clickbaits and talks crap often enough no one will believe him, and Jonas does create clickbaits and talk crap often.
 
Andy Murray began doing his own grips and overgrips at some point while he was using P1, so he’s not a guy who isn’t used to doing some things himself.

Well I can’t hide what’s in that picture. Equally, I can still respect the confidentiality around it, which I will.

The fact that you’ve shared this picture does really prove my point about the speculation and misinformation posted on here and elsewhere.

I will ask politely though the source of that picture?

Not sure if you're referring to me; but whether you are or you aren't, we work with sensitive information and can't share that with the general public. We're not looking to belittle anyone, merely point out that some 'info' has been point out that was based on speculation and not actual facts.

We get asked can we supply specs, or string info by people all the time. Yes, we're in a position to have access to players details, and if we had the time we could get all their specs. But even if we did, we don't give that info out. We have also signed documents that say we wont release any information that we are privy too during a tournament. Even if such document isnt in place, then there's an unwritten rule that a stringer does reveal that. Clearly some dont adhere to that.

There are other people on here that are privy to all sorts of info that cant be released to the public at the time, but could in due course.

You can decide whether you understand and accept what I say; or to take an opposing view. I dont mind. I will refrain from making any further comment on this thread.
 
Idk, watching this he hit the ball pretty big/deep. Other guy was getting pushed a ton on neutral balls. I think tennis fans overrate how "defensive" Murray is.

LOL...you are still stuck on the inside/outside measurement.
Again, has absolutely NOTHING to do with it but purely with the marketing and Euro conversion (630 cm2)
 
TennisNerd has a video about Andy Murray's new racquet he's trying out, it is an Ezone 100. Andy added about 30 grams of lead tape himself. He contacted Yonex, they sent Andy 10-12 frames set to Murray's specifications.

In the picture the racquet is mounted on the TF X-Cord, and the stringing service at Primrose is TF, so I’d guess it’s from one of the TF stringers, or they allowed someone else to take a picture.

You’re a bit late to the game (I’m not giving you a hard time, I’ve been there myself;)). TN’s video is what’s stirred up a bit of a debate here.

Here is the source (from 0:13), it was indeed filmed in the Primrose TF stringing room by @tennisphere_ on IG

98 when measured from the outside is a misconception. The outside accounts for an extra 10-15 sq in. If measured from the outside, his PT57A would have been close to an oversize.

Exactly
I took a picture of Prestige Tour 660 (102si) compared to Bumblebee. Stringbed of Prestige is still alot smaller than outside of Pt57a

How anyone could believe that story from TN is beyond me. But I guess there’s people who believe there are alien bodies at Area 51, so… :alien:

The dismissals are rooted in the absurdity of claims made, some of which by people pretending to be in the know when in reality they have zero first hand knowledge of what is actually occurring.

If people don’t want to be dismissed, stop making stuff up. Simple as that.
