Pro stock experts: paintjob IG Instinct MP (Sharapova)

[MarrratSafin]

Think I found some interesting frames. These are IG Instinct MP cosmetics, but they are nothing like the retail.. they have pro stock buttcaps and code. I may be wrong, but these look mighty like Youtek Radical Pro (non-IG) mold under the paintjob, similar to Sharapova's frame. 100 sq.in, 16x19 with 8 holes at the throat and no shared holes, drill pattern also looks like the Radical.

Now, I'm positive these do not belong to Masha, her frames have her signature on them iirc, and one of these came with broken Big Banger Original Rough. There must be other pros using this frame. Does anyone know the TGK/TGT code for this? Best of all, they cost me around $60 each..:lol:

Could be Denis Germelmayr's sticks. I know he used YT Radical Pro.

Certainly has a different head shape, more oval than round (retail):

^^^^Yes, I bought an Instinct MP for a friend before and this is nothing like it. It has been confirmed it is a paintjob Radical Pro. The beam is also around 22mm straight, while the retail Instinct is wider.

It is highly possible! As these are from Germany.

If retail Radicals had the Instinct's *TRON* paintjob, I'd buy one. Graphics are awesome.

That Instinct is the Youtek Radical pro mould and i think the code for that is TGK 260.2 . I think Marin Cilic uses the same mould and I heard tomas berdych has a different one im not sure though

That is probabily a Marin Cilic pro stock , which uses a TGK 231.3, he uses synthetic black grip like yours, if you take off the pallet you might find the code.

Thomas berdych uses a TGK 260.2 and also has the IG Instinct paint job, but has **** leather Grip.

No, thats not a Cilic pro stock. Cilic uses the MG radical MP 16x19. The Op's racquet is a YT Radical Pro 269.1. Which is the same mold as Sharapova.

Thanks for clarifying vs! I was aware both Cilic and Berdych use the slightly smaller Radical MP headsize.. what is the difference between TGK260.2 and the MG Radical MP, am guessing the 260.2 is Youtek Radical MP 16x19?

I liked it better than Radical too. But still prefer classic Pro Tour 630 and Prestige cosmetics above all.

Yes, Berdych uses the YT Radical MP 16x19 which is 260.2.

Berdych has a molded grip and the number of his frames isn't the same as the number on yours. The only frames that I know of on SF with this PJ and being from the Radical line are Cilic, Sharapova (and her's has her initials) and Berdych so this is from someone else.

They look gorgeous with that string pattern! Wish I had them for that price!!

Yup, I acquire one on the forum and it did cost me a pretty penny but where else can I find a 16x19 Radical MP mold.

All I can say is the 260.2 is one of the plushest racquets out there for those that want a 16x19 string pattern and 98 sq inch while offering a solid feel.
