Roberto Bautista Agut's current racket and string

[rsmith]

Seems to be a Wilson 6.1 95... Not sure how many + what type of strings he uses.

Also, are there other top players on tour that use this 2014 model? I can only think of him.

It's probably a paint job.

Six one 95 18x20 full big banger original

 

[EasternRocks]

I thought he was using 4G?

 

[RalphJ]

What version 6.1 95?

 

[Arti]

just curious, is it 4g or original? or a hybrid? Also which 6.1 95 could be under there? @ProStringing ?

Read somewhere that it was a hybrid, but before he was apparently using full original. On the TW player page it states 4G but it's hard to tell between full 4g and full original from far away. Anyone have any ideas?

bump just because i'm curious

I mean it "looks" like it could be either from that picture. The problem with using a picture to determine string especially in this case, is that there's no way to tell for sure. Depending on what the settings were on that camera when the shot was taken, what kind of post color correction was done, it could be either or. Someone who's good with photos could probably look at a retail wilson and gauge the colors from real life with that shot and guess "more accurately"... Pictures can only go so far

That being said, dgoran says it's big banger. I don't see any reason not to trust him. And in that picture it does look like big banger (less translucent than 4g giving a darker color).

Did someone say guessing based on photos? That's in my wheelhouse! The preferred method would be to find a photo of him with another player using 4G where they are standing in the same lighting.

Edit: unfortunately he didn't hug Cilic, Dimitrov, Nishikori or anyone else with big banger or 4g in a way I could compare

Look up Roberto Bautista Agut on wikepidea commons. Best place for high res clean pictures!

I generally use Google Images, the search tools can be filtered by size and time posted, then if I need to verify clothes worn at a tournament in 2009 or something I can verify in getty images.

Hah, I just noticed they put B.A., Robertos in a burn paintjob for a short time in 2015 before they realized his flat style didn't attract the kids they were shooting for.

This is my favorite paintjob of his though. A close second in all time 6.1 95 paint jobs to the matte [K]factor.

Yeah, I just wish it was more durable paint, I haven't seen one that didn't have the final paint coat tensile strength of a peanut m&m.

haha lol yea. Just like the rubber paint from the i.prestiges. After 6 months you end up with a sticky, blacked out racquet with gray smudges in the hoop and intellifiber graphics.

@ProStringing is there anything you could provide us with regarding Bautista-Agut?

Here is a photo of Roberto Bautista Agut's racket taken earlier this year:

His string setup was:

Mains - Luxilon 4G 16 @ 22.0 KGS
Crosses - Luxilon 4G 16 @ 22.0 KGS

His rackets were strung two-piece.

Hope this can be of help,

thank you so much!

Man, .16ga on an 18x20 with a stiff string. This guy must want lots of control. Its amazing he hits it as hard as he does.

 

[Bobble]

@ProStringing , did you perhaps measure the length of Bautista Agut’s frame?

 

[Yoneyama]

That string setup makes my wrist ache just looking at it

 

[Rabbit]

Think about DelPo with an 18X20, ALU @ 31 kilos.
