As far as I know it is a TGT 262.4 D, which is about 345g strung with a SW of 360.

Not denying it. And as he got stronger, he may put more weight on his stick

Did not help him in the Acapulco finals - lead tape that is! Great long 4 minutes of racquet destruction however!

Anybody know his string setup? Looks like ALU mains and gut crosses

Hope Sasha can get more "Speed" on his shots

I believe that's the new Gravity paint job.

It's the pre-release paint-job so I've heard. Kinda like the Clash black & white zebra effect that was knocking about before it was released in the black, red & grey. The actual Gravity design is mostly black with turquoise & salmon pink effects, again, I can't confirm this and Head have been very quick in trying to remove any pictures of it but I've found some by a simple internet search . . . .

It is 16x20 I believe if you count out the string pattern

No. He uses IG Speed 315 (100", 18x20) with custom layup

Still have one of these sitting in my bag, unstrung. Haven't used it in ages. This thing was hard on my arm and no racquet has been hard on my arm before.
The 262.4 is the pro stock code for the IG Speed Pro.

no he does not. He used the TGT344 which is the Gravity Pro

He actually switched to the entire racquet or just the 20mm mold? And what is the TGT344.4?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
He is using the actual Gravity Pro, the pro stock version (TGT)
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
Zverev (and Rublev) are using the TGT344.3.
The TGT344.4 is the pro stock of the retail Gravity Pro
Barty is using the TGT344.1 (16x19 version with old grommets)

I wonder what it is about the Gravity that he really likes and suits his game?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
It is not much different from what he used before (TK263 mold). The layup is different but his racket kept the 263 string pattern/spacing
what makes the 344.3 different from the 344.4? different string spacing?

I think .4 has parallel drill pattern?
What makes is a pro stock? What's the difference from retail?
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
all same minus the commercial weight in the handle (TGK vs. TGT)
However, the TGT344.1 and TGT344.3 have additional difference in String Pattern

So TGT is the pro stock (no weight in the handle) version of equivalent retail TGK sticks? This may not have always been like this: I have a couple of TGK 238.2 (with that code printed in the throat) and also a few of the retail MG Prestige Pros, and the pro stock feels much softer than the retail version.
dr325i
G.O.A.T.
That is correct. It used to be all over the place. Before Youtek era, retail and pro stock shared TGK designation. Then TGK disappeared in favor of TGT.
Today, head uses TGK for retail, TGT for Pro stock equivalent (same mold and layup) and PT (special layups and molds).
TGK and TGT are made in same factories and the difference between “equivalents” is the weight. By “equivalents” I mean the TGK344.1 and TGT344.4 for example. All TK344 molds (note the mold designator is “TK”) are identical 344.1, 344.3, 344.4. .1 is 16x19 (Barty), .3 is non-parallel drill (Zverev and Rublev)... just an example

I know this is an old thread but hoping you can help me out. I’m seeing an online retailer selling a TGT344.4. I use the retail grab pro and would like to try something identical just slightly lighter. I’m assuming everything is identical in mould and layup to the retail model just 15grams lighter. Is the weight difference coming just from the missing steel in the handle or is it removed evenly throughout the frame?? Thanks.
dr325i

The weight in the handle is removed for the pro stock.
Too much wine sorry!

So that would make the initial balance quite head heavy then I’m assuming?
The site is pro stock tennis and the code they’re using is tgt344.4. Not really familiar with pro stocks.

Not head heavy but less HL than the retail.
The TGT344.4 is the pro stock (18x20) version of the TGK344.1 (retail)
