I've had multiple Novak's personal frames and they were standard length. Latest spec before change was 359g / 32.8cm and about 370SW. They were based on the Head FXP Radical MP mold and layup (slightly different layup and no flex point stuff).There was a brief moment on a Wimbledon broadcast, after the final, where Brad Gilbert said that Nole had been using a 15year old frame, shorter than usual, and very heavy and now used a modern frame, normal length, and lighter.
I am paraphrasing and DOG only knows if he means 27" or 28" when he says "normal length" etc.
Tried to find the clip on youtube but failed. Only saw it on the live broadcast while channel-hopping.
fwiw.

Brad got 3 out of 6 correct. He is using the same frame and mold, different string pattern and weight. I do not believe the length has changed, but possible
Here are a few photos of Novak Djokovic's rackets taken recently:
Note that Novak uses two overgrips.
The unstrung weight and balance (including overgrip) for the above racket was 335g and 31.8cm.
Hope these can be of help,

I count 19 crossesSo the string pattern is 18x20?
I count 19 crosses
I would like to try his racquet in an 18*19 pattern. Though not if its still 350g plus and only 5HL. Like swinging a log
Wow! 62lbs? Thats a bit high string tension for such a control racket. I thought his tension was somewhere in 45lbs. Lol

64 nat gut and 62 poly - damn... No wonder he had elbow problems.
I'm guessing he just omits the bottom cross to make it 18x19 because that pattern is a little odd. I don't think I've ever seen an 18x19 pattern racket.
How long has he played with a gut/poly hybrid?

Never seen a Radical OS, Blade OS, several Tfight models...
Crazy how this guy swings that frame. It really shows you how the most important thing is technique. Have that down and you can unlock the potential of "log" type frames.
Over here getting nervous playing a competition with a 318 unstrung/328 swingweight/7 pts HL balance frame ha
Holy hell, that's pretty light. Not even 11.5 oz when strung.
About 11.9.After strung? No it is higher than 11.5
About 11.9.

Pro Stringing says his specs included OG, and the Head Nole dampener is less than the Yonex. Not sure as to the weight of gut/poly hybrid he uses, so it is just a guess.A
About 12-12.1 if you add an OG and a 4g Yonex Dampener.

correct. The layup is closest to the FXP Radical MP.That would be the Ti./i.Radical MP mold
