98 square inch, 16 20 string pattern. The most natural switch from the Aero Storm to another major company who probably shelled a few more dollars
Somewhere around here in TT it was said that Stevie didn't use the Stars and Stripes paint job because he wasn't comfortable with it and that's why he used the 2013 aero pro paint job, while Sock was rocking it along with his whole Sock for President campaign. Almost positive Babolat would have loved to see Sock and Steve both use Stars and Stripes at the olympics in dubs, but Steve messed it up
Sock endorses the VS and the VS Tour is actually used by Ryan Harrison.
It's a revolutionary thing..JK It was Agassi who brought the rubber band dampener to tennis. I use it for myself on my POG and APD/PA and people at the courts questionably mock me but I beat them easily on the court so it's all good
I'm curious now. Anyone know Steve Johnson's political affiliation?
well he is from southern california. and sock is from god country
they dont fall off, they arent $4, they dont add weight to the racquet head. and you can 100 of them for a dollar. They do the same thing as a dampener
i think , i mean IM sure they get custom weights and stiffness. But the string patterns, and the retails are comparable in stiffness. But what the hell do i know
Or a paint job?Looks like Stevie is endorsing the new ezone now?

Funny - the guy is frustrated with the racket, blames the racket for his performance, instead of the fact he basically has no backhand. Yup - never blame self, always something else.
For sure, I used to yell at the TV when I'd see Roddick hit a crosscourt approach. I remember the commentators lauding him for trying to get to net, but approaching crosscourt is a 50/50 at best at that level.And if I’m not mistaken, Stevie won all those collegiate matches playing mostly serve and volley.
Indeed, more clay is needed...and IMHO a renewed emphasis by coaches on point construction.
I like that, “Fast Food Tennis” the American Tennis dream.
He was frustrated with the company, not the stick...so he tried racquets, found one he liked, and switched. That was the whole point of the "Yonex has a reputation for taking good care of their pros, which I heard was important to Stevie" comment. It's a bit of a stretch to say he's blaming his equipment for his performance. If you've heard him talk in press conferences or on podcasts at all, he's pretty level-headed and generally knows why he won or lost a match. Dude's been through a lot of life changes with the passing of his dad, getting married, and having a kid. I wouldn't blame him for not taking the time to worry about whether or not he's confident in his backhand when he makes a living slicing it all day.
