Rackets you want pros to use

Newby

Semi-Pro
If you could choose the sticks that pro players must wield, which would they be and why?

For instance, you could make your decision based on whether or not you believe a certain racket would be better suited for a particular pro's game or simply because you think someone would look more cool swinging a racket with a different color scheme/design. Perhaps you dislike a specific racket or brand, but admire the player that endorses the pj and wish that they were sponsored by a different brand. Maybe you'd like a less promoted brand to get more attention and think that an up-and-coming player would give it the boost it needs (i.e Roddick with Babolat in the early 2000's). Whatever your reason, I'd like to get your thoughts on this matter.

I'll start off with a few...

Federer-Prestige Classic (Sleek-looking and slightly larger headsize to reduce his shanks. Just the name of the racket itself fits Fed's aura and legacy perfectly)

Nadal-Gamma Big Bubba (NO SHAME. Whatever it takes to get the ball on the racket, even if the racket needs to be 137 sq. in)

Murray-Slazenger Pro Braided (Needs to succeed where Henman failed. God save the queen)

Santoro-Natural Tennis racket (aside from the Battistones, always wanted to see a player who uses two hands on both sides play with this)

Deliciano Lopez-Prince EXO3 Pink (Metro racket for a metro player)

Raonic- Babolat Pure Drive (I want to see him break the serve record in the next year or 2. A Babolat might not hurt this cause)

Bernard Tomic-Donnay Gold (Future top ten player in my eyes. I want to see Donnay sign a future champion and be more well-known. Donnay's new line is great and deserves more attention)

Gulbis-Babolat Emporio Armani racket http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=299969 (Because only he can afford to smash a few and still buy a country)

Roddick-Wilson Staff Di11 (Not to be mistaken with the Wilson Pro Staff line. He needs to call it quits and hit the golf course)

The Prestige Classic is actually smaller than the racquet Fed plays with. Its hitting surface is actually closer to 88 square inches!
 
I realllllllllllly want nadal to switch from the apd. Then I can use black string without looking like a nadal poser.
 
Fed should give a try to his old racquet.

I'd like to see more mids among top players. But i guess it won't be happening unless Babolat makes a mid size racquet.

Nevertheless id like to see Gasquet with a Prestige mid
Rafa with POG mid
Delpotro with Tour 90
Roger, as mentioned before with a PS85
Maybe Raonic wielding a PS85 or KPS88
 
the different racquets I want the top 10 to play with:
regardless of pro stock, etc.

1-Novak Djokovic: Technifibre T-Fight 325 V02 Max
2-Rafael Nadal: HEAD Extreme
3-Roger Federer: I honestly cannot think of him playing with anything beside his Wilson
4-Andy Murray: Babolat Pure Storm Tour
5-David Ferrer: no idea
6-Robin Soderling: Donnay X-Dual Core Platinum 94
7-Gael Monfils: Gael go back to your Prestige! (Maybe Volkl Power Bridge 10)
8- Mardy Fish: Boris Becker Delta London
9-Tomas Berdych: looks awesome with the Radical paintjob
10-Nicolas Almagro: Yonex VCore 98D
 
Dunlop Biomimetic 100 (European version) used by 1-handed BH players, especially Federer. It's a quite demanding and rewarding racquet that requires great techniques of the the wielder. It's also solid and very maneuverable. I'm sure there would be many beautiful shots made quite often by the racquet. It has beautiful low-profile matte colour too.
 
melzer should use his old kneissl red star pros, by sportastic. anyone using babolat should move to kneissl white stars, and ladies should move to new kneissl white star tours.
