Unless he’s gone back to it, at the WTF the announcers mentioned he was using the Gravity in late summer/early fall, but went back to his original frame before the WTF.
He then made semis at the WTF, beating both Nadal and Medvedev, so I’d be shocked if he switched back the Gravity in the off season.
So both Rublev and Barty use that IG speed as well under G pj ? Never knew it was such a great frame.

Thanks tho yhere was no conclusion to that thread and it gave me a huge headache ♂
Barty is using 16x19, that's why.![]()

Barty is stillusing her old speed mold but Zeverev and Rublev they both using the new gravity mold. Check the grommets at 6 point in these pics and you can see the difference. Once you enlarge the pics it’s very clear that Zeverev and Rublev are using the same grommet design as the new gravity style (a little box which hide all the strings inside) and Barty is using the traditional style head grommets.

Well, 16x19 Gravity isn't a retail offering because aren't the Gravity only offered in 16x20 MP and the Pro and Tour in 18x20? So how would you categorize it? Custom drill pattern on the Gravity for her? To me, it looks like a Gravity PJ over her Speed.Barty is using 16x19, that's why.

I’m just saying she’s using her old mold, didn’t actually switched to gravity.Barty is using 16x19, that's why.

Many HEAD proplayer frames ARE available to the public....NOT currently available to the public just like all the head racquets used by pros.

You are correct. She is using a PJ.I’m just saying she’s using her old mold, didn’t actually switched to gravity.

He knows and if he says custom 344, then it isHow do you know it’s a custom 16/19 TGT344? No evidence to prove that. Since we don’t have the rackets in hand so most of time we can only look at the high resolution images to identify what frame the pro’s actually using. So after I compared several images including last few seasons and this seasons, my conclusion is she is keeping using the same racket from last few years, which is an old speed mold, just change the pj to gravity this year. If you have more evidence showing that it’s a TGT344 with 16/19 customized pattern and old speed grommets, I’m excited to see the images. Before that, I’m staying with my conclusion lol.

Can you give us examples aside from Gravity?Many HEAD proplayer frames ARE available to the public.
She did switch to Gravity.You are correct. She is using a PJ.
He knows and if he says custom 344, then it is
The speed and Gravity are very similar molds.I compared a lot of images from gettyimages, checking string patterns, string placements, throat design and grommets. It’s the same racket from last couple years. And also if Head makes a custom drill for a new frame, it rarely happens that head keep using the old grommets on the new mold. The new gravity line including pro stock (Zeverev and Rublev) has the new designed grommets which is very different than before. On Barty’s frame it’s very clear there’s no new gravity grommets.

Latest prestige -- none of the pros using
Extremes - none
Actual latest speeds -- nada
Latest radicals -- I doubt.
They are all either previous versions 293.x, 307.x, blah blah, or way back versions like PT57A/E, 263.x, etc.
So, I would not say that MANY of them used by pros are available to public.
of 11 men and 4 women listed as Head users on TW only Zverev's racket is available to public. All others are using either a custom drill (Barty's Gravity) or something not available to public any more.
examples:
Prestige: for latest one it is too early, but TGT312/ Mid: Cilic is a current market racquet
Extreme, 333: Struff, Davidovich Fokina
Speed, 339: D. Brown, E. Mertens, C. Gauff
Radical, TGT307: S. Stephens, (D. Collins), D. Novak
N, she did not : )She did switch to Gravity.
TGT344 is the Gravity engineering code. So she did.N, she did not : )
I was not following Sloan for a while now. So, she did switch from the 260.x? I was wondering why is she playing so wellexamples:

I think that is why he put her in parenthesis. She did use the 307 before Bab.Hey Man, Collins is playing with the 2013 Babolat AeroPro Drive this year.
I see. For 2020 she has moved onI think that is why he put her in parenthesis. She did use the 307 before Bab.
I know. But she played the 307 and has still a HEAD contract.Hey Man, Collins is playing with the 2013 Babolat AeroPro Drive this year.
She is in violation of her contract then. What is going to happen?I know. But she played the 307 and has still a HEAD contract.
To be negotiated. But penalty payment is for sure.She is in violation of her contract then. What is going to happen?
You don’t have to worry about me! I’ll keep using my PT57ATo be negotiated. But penalty payment is for sure.
Give me an evidence that she switched or at least any source why you claim that.TGT344 is the Gravity engineering code. So she did.
See #19 above
That's the problem. PT57A is addictive. Once you get used to it, you hardly get away from it again.You don’t have to worry about me! I’ll keep using my PT57A![]()
Someone on this forum (thread) actually works at Head and has supplied Barty with her sticks. I would think he knows what he put in the box....Give me an evidence that she switched or at least any source why you claim that.
For me even the throat part over the grip looks looks different than gravity:

Looks like IG speed.
Gravity has very little throat space over the grip while IG is much longer and sunken.
You guys could not just paint her Bab as Radical??To be negotiated. But penalty payment is for sure.
It is not about thinking just looking art the pics...Someone on this forum (thread) actually works at Head and has supplied Barty with her sticks. I would think he knows what he put in the box....
But you can think whatever you want...
OK, you know and see it better than the Head official person saying it is the custom drill TGT344...It is not about thinking just looking art the pics...
Sorry you expect person working in a company to reveal all knowledge which is not available to the public for some reason?OK, you know and see it better than the Head official person saying it is the custom drill TGT344...
Not gonna waste your time any more
I told you I did not want to waste your time.Sorry you expect person working in a company to reveal all knowledge which is not available to the public for some reason?
So maybe quit the forum because discussion is the point why forums exist.I told you I did not want to waste your time.
Now I tell you I don't want to waste my own time.
Discussion is. This is not a discussion. This is waste of time.So maybe quit the forum because discussion is the point why forums exist.
