Zverev New Racket?

But what about my beloved TK82 grip shape.....

Mind you I have 360 Gpros & Aux1 GT100s already

I certainly get that. I could just as easily see them leaving the Pro as-is. But, even though Head does have too many molds, I still think they should bring back the 100" Tour, even if it means having both a Tour 100 and a Tour 98 (and that the 98 should be a 16x20, with denser crosses in the upper hoop, to help with flatter precision and string durability).

This two-tone thing and some of these colors have got to go. Looks like they ran out of Unpolished Gold half-way up the hoop. Yuck.

There are more details on it that are not showing up in these shots. It is the SZ specific limited PJ. Looks good in person but not my thing. I love the current Gravity PJ (and the next year update)

I agree. I don’t like the two tone style Head has been using. Prestige especially doesn’t look good to me with so little of the Maroon/Whatever Dark reddish color lol

Yeah I don’t get it. When did Djoko get his own line? Lol 2024 legend? Such a joke.

This is not SZ line. He is the face of the Gravity line...
Back in 2009, Speed line was created and ND became the face of the line. First Speed Pro had his signature on it.
They created the Legend line because: ND did not want to use regular PJ with white on it and because Sinner became the obvious next face of the Speed line. Win-win: you sell more of the same rackets with two different PJs

Well, the point is that Novak won 22 GSs or so to get his Speed Pro Legend signature frame, which he is not even playing with... So...

I get your point, however, how long it took, arguably more marketable, RF to get his RF97A line?
What about Rafa, to have "RAFA" on the APD?
Again, the Legend line was created out of necessity as they are releasing regular Speed and "black edition" (before Legend) in parallel. Sinner became a dominant name in Tennis and they had to make the shift and capitalize on both, creating two lines basically. Pure marketing move to get the best of both.

I mean if it were me, I wouldn’t say giving zverev his own paint job is a necessary marketing move to capitalize on. Don’t think he’s as popular of a person as the ones you listed. There’s still plenty of mixed opinions on his past that he never was exonerated from, just not enough physical evidence.

He's been a top 10 player for a long time, he is a GS winner, he has a huge following (and just like everyone else, including the big 3, a large crowd that dislikes him). I do agree that he is not the same level as the big 3, however, he is marketable, and he (and Rublev) are the faces of the Gravity line. Remember, the Gravity line was created for him when he switched to Speed to Gravity.
Again, this is a limited Edition PJ, regular Gravity PJ remains and the Hybor version will update in Q1 2027.

He is arguably one of the favorites at the USO26

I’ll reiterate. I think the gravity line would sell just fine if he retired tomorrow.

Hey @dr325i I disagree but got a quick question: the GT100 Zverev is playing is 360+ or Auxetic?

As you already saw the new paintjob it will have white details and keep the color shifting blue/purple? Will it keep the same glossy finish? Thanks
