Verdasco at it again

[futureverdasco]

Fernando Verdasco does not seem to have had great year this year. Maybe due to the fact he keeps switching strings, racquets, and string patterns. For the most part of the year he was using a painted head graphene xt speed pro with a 18x20 string pattern, but at times during tournaments like Houston and at Roland Garros he switched to a 16x19 xt speed pro. shortly after he switched back to his 18x20 speed pro until the U.S. Open, where he was playing singles with a 18x20 speed pro, then doubles with a 16x19 speed pro with a shock absorber. Currently he is using a 16x19 speed. Which he's used for Davis cup, Moselle, and now Rakuten. What is he up to?! Is he switching to different frames and what frame is he actually using?

I have no clue but I think he's been doing it for a while. He's wasting away his last years on tour.

Should stay with Yonex...

 

[MIKEPANTELAKIS]

He had a good run at Wimby in 2012 with an APD. Almost took out Murray...

Pretty sure he's been just repainting his T-Fight 320 over the years.

 

[SQA333]

The APD should on paper be the best fit for his game..

Looked like a real Babolat to me.

Tecnifibre, Dunlop, Yonex, Babolat and Head. Have I got the order right ??

Yonex was before Dunlop, for a very short period, maybe a month or so, than he went back to Tec before Dunlop

It's funny that he switches racquets more than he actually plays in tournaments now a days. Back in 2008/09, I thought he'd be Nadal no.2 lol.

 

[roger presley]

I think that time has come for Wilson!

I still remember back in the day when we thought (we.. well me) that he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. The way he'd push Rafa to the brink. ahh well.

Yep. my mistake. realized it after I posted that.

 

[Zoolander]

Wow its crazy for a pro to change racquets/patterns like that, all in a year. How could you have any consistency? Perhaps he's moonlighting as a professional racquet tester?

 

[jarko111]

Maybe he's a racquetholic. He sees a pro using a great stick and he wants to be like them... (like so many of us.)

 

[futureverdasco]

does anyone know what's under his paintjob currently?

The 18x20 one was the same as Novaks racket but customized to be quite lighter, fairly high SW.
