Thank you very much for sharing this Jon! Hope you and your family are doing great!
Love to see a video like this for the Agassi frame you have! Really cool info. Thanks for doing these videos.
A video about Murray's racquet would be pretty cool, especially if compared with his more recent racquet experiments
I respect that you’re not just a collector but actually use the rackets you own. I true Love for the game. Thank you. I mean… tack!
This is great stuff. Thanks for the information. Very interesting to hear how difficult the racquets of the legends of the game are to use by mortals
Interesting stuff & congrats on a great addition to your collection (as Lloyd from Dumb n Dumber once said, "might wanna hang on to that one"). Yeah, that swing weight would be very tough to manage for most club level players I presume. Would be cool to feel how an 18 X 19 SP plays in a Head PT2.
Great video! Thanks for posting all three messurements of the raquet I think when you get all those 3 you get a sense what the raquet is like to manover. 363 swing weight is crazy for recreational. But the combination with the 325mm balance and the other two measuerments I would really like it if I had the physics for it which will never happen :) Without knowing the swingweight of these raquet the video would be less interesting so thank you for taking that important part in!
Fascinating video Jonas! A review of Murray's racquet would be interesting; I've recently switched to a Head Pro Tour 2.0, so knowing a bit more about PT57As and other relatives in the family would be beneficial for me
Correction: Djokovic uses natural gut in the mains and ALU Power in the crosses and the overgrip without overlap is beneath the one _with_ overlap, the other way around doesn't make any sense.
Correction to correction : it's Alu Power normal in the crosses, not rough! =)
You’re absolutely right. Sometimes this guy says things in his videos and later corrects them in the comments. Idk how he claims to be a tennis nerd without proof reading his content. Outrageous.
I know, I’ve done several videos about Novak’s racquet. I wanted to test the racquet this way, since I didn’t have Alu Rough or gut
@@masterwill6493 he’s putting out high quality content almost every day in his second language, it’s really not a big issue at all if he makes an occasional mistake and corrects it
@@nicholaskatsoulas3435 if you can manage to put in that much work you can manage to not screw up the main detail of a racket...
Great content Jonas! I think thanks to you, racquet manufacturers are finally going back on their words and using the words “endorsed” as opposed to “used by”. Just a shame that Head won’t make a racquet with twaron/ fibreglass composites that make our elbows and shoulders feel good. I personally use the recently discontinued prince tour 95… I feel it is a work of art as it combines the Wilson pro staff 90 with the pt57a. It’s not as accurate as the Wilson 90 durr , but it’s kind of good enough for the same aggressive forehands! You need to string it loose or with gut in the mains to get the feel back though
Man, I would love to try that one day 🔥🎾👍thanks for the upload 👊
Thanks for showing us
It's surprisingly head heavy. But for someone like him he can generate easy power of it when his opponents get tired (someone like Dominc Thiem for eg). It used to be even more head heavy but that was what led to his elbow problems. Now I see him attack more on the forehand with it.
Very cool video , puts things into perspective
Very nice & informative video. Hefty frame, incredible that Novak can swing it with that much speed. His shots look like lasers sometimes :). I guess you need that weight to return 230 km/h serves all day long.
+1 for the Agassi racket demo / play test
It actually doesn't look that much smaller than the 100sq inch racket you put it next to. Would be interested to know the grip size (I know he then adds overgrips - I've always thought his grips look huge compared to the likes of Rafa, Roger etc.). Would also be good to know the flex rating.
I got one Novak racket from Davis Cup, end of last year. The weight is 353,7 g, the label says 29 kg strung. I played few times with it with the original strings, it was very floushy, very calm feeling, which I thought it's crazy when you know how high the string tension is. The frame is doing all the job. I could easily play for an hour, allthough I dont practice anymore. I play now once a month or so. I didnt feel it's very demanding, it was just very nice feeling. I just needed to be really prepared for the shot, cause you can't "correct" a lot with the wrist, midst the swing. maybe you should try the original babolat natural gut strings.
What racquet In the market do you think had a similar power or feel to it
Great Video! Might be just me, but did you change up your forehand swing?
Jonas - dare we hope that you might one day do a comparison playtest of all the pros racquets you have in your collection?? Nice vid - enjoyed this.
My fave racket ever is still the Dunlop Max 200G. It weighed even more than this racket, but easy power. I currently play with a Head Graphene instinct MG, but I just can't get lots of power 😢
Very cool! Interestingly i just went out to hit with my pt and a lm radical mp hahaha
I hate to ask you to play these collectible racquets but yeah I'd be interested in seeing you hit w/ other pro racquets. But do you have a racquet used by a pro w/ one handed BH? I was curious if it's set up much different than Murray or Djokovic. I don't know if Federer's RF 97 is his real setup?
Play with Andre’s!! It’s an oversized head radical right?
I have one if you want it!
Very helpful, but can u guess what’s the different and pro on the big3 rackets?
What happened to trying to bend your knees more and staying lower in the shots for more explosiveness and power? Couldnt hurt to break slightly more at the hips as well
Interested to see the comparison with murrays racquet
You don't mention any weight in handle to counteract the hoop lead...does it just come from the leather grip?
How many layers of lead at 3 and 9? And how long? 5 inches, 6 inches? Thanks Jonas!
I would be curious how it compares to wilson six one 95..
Great video
I would like to see direct side by side comparison of Novak and Andy’s pro stocks since they are both Radicals MP
And what generation of Radical would be the closest to one they use, so instead of searching for actual player frames that sell for $1000s, we can try to replicate with old TI Radical or closest model
Agassi would be awesome video to see as well
Andy's model is the PT57A, it's the head tour pro, closer to a prestige than a radical
@@jackitbl4des616 the original Radical Bumblebee yellow and black is a PT57A. The next two Radicas zebra and candy, are PT57B, the B means they are Twin Tube. The original radicals WERE the same shape as Murrays Pro Tour 630 aka PT57A2. Im fact, the PT57 Bumblebee Radical was released before the Pro Tour 630.
@Tennisnerd how similar it compares to the Blade pro ?
Tommy Haas Frame world be nice. It is a Dunlop or a Head Frame? Where did the pro stock shops the frames from the pro Player?
How many layers of lead tape does the racket have on the frame? One or two?
You own a racket of Tommy Haas? a Dunlop or a Head? I always wonder if these two have the same specs, would make sense.
2. In his later career Haas endorsed the Prestige MP. was it a stock pro, a pro tour? 615 or 630 sinch, ...aso.
Would love to get a look at your Agassi racket
How long is the lead tape? Lead tape Length? Thanks
95 Sq inch is crazy small !! Now I know where he gets his precision from.
What is the thickness of the frame ? Haven t found this info nowhere
Looks like there are strips of lead at 3 and 9 or am I seeing things?
Hello! What is a "Pro player code" ? can you say more about that ?
Best regards
Interesting that when you put the Speed Pro and Novaks racquet side by side, the Speed Pro head looked smaller.
The beam thickness of Novak's frame is **not** 20mm, it's more like 22. Not as thick as the Speed Pro, but closer than indicated in the video.
I liked the intro music
When they say Novak does two overgrips overlapped what does that mean? I wish you could do a video on it!
what chair is that?
how much? where can I get them?
Do you have any PT113/346’s for sale?
Yes please!! More Pro Players frames!!
Can you find Nick Kyrgios frame?)
How do you overlap an overgrip?
You should review the TI Radical! Great stick!
Yes please!!! It is my favourite of Head Classic.
Is the racquet mold the LM radical?
What about the stifness ?
I finally gave in and decided I can’t do 320+ gram frames anymore...what a beast of a setup
Enjoy your videos so much!
Glad you like them!
@@Tennisnerd the very best 🏆
How points headlight is that???
Please do a video on Andy's racquet
I think does a bit of a disservice to say that rackets like these are too demanding for 99% of players, for people with fairly decent strokes they are fine, and the swingweight makes a huge difference if you hit the ball properly. I've hit with one of Murray's rackets from maybe 8 or 9 years ago, had two layers of lead at 12 o'clock under the bumper, don't know what the swingweight was but it was definitely high, but it crushed the ball and felt great. I'm pretty sure the weight was 355g.
Please do videos on other pro racquet too
I would like to find out since I am in NY and I have been to RPNY . Would not a Dunlop cx 200 tour 18X20 with a hybrid stringing that creates a more 18 X19 like pattern equal the Novack racquet Performance wise superficially ? The pallet of the cx200 tour is longer more for 2 handed use , which changes the normal balance point . You could also sergetti it with of course with weight to the head at 10 , 2 and 12 .
What is sergetti?
@@ATA-wi2lh A stringing method which allows the stringbed to function in harmony with the racquet by tensioning each sting differently in relation to its placement along the length of each string across the frame of the head . This increases the sweetspot dramatically as well as apparently the feel . It returns the head to a neutral shape because of its balance and acting as a whole with your specific racquet . This is pre determined by your optimal tension and your choice of strings . The ability to order the spec sheet for you and tensions for your strings are available to print out for a price on line from sergetti in Canada.
Hi Tennisnerd, Do you want to test super spin racquet? Any racquet has edge, when the ball hit the edge, the ball dead, This racquet no edge, no dead ball.
Are these specs strung or unstrung?
Please do one for andy murrays racquet.. pt57a
your forehand seem improved in this vid
Nice video! One question: Maybe I missed it but how can you own Novaks frame with this customs because he never used this mold?
How do you know that he never used this mold?
@@MaiTizzle because he has never used this kind of mold in matches. What could be possible though is that Novak requested to keep on playing with the blacked out version that he also used throughout 2019. So Head probably delivered this shown mold in the video to Novak and after practising he demanded for the black version
@@walnuss_1696 how do you know that is another mold, but not a different paint job?
@@walnuss_1696 No, he played with a completely blacked out cosmetic, not the one from the generation before this one. And you're actually answering your own question yourself. He got a batch of these white frames and didn't like them so he requested the all black ones and the white ones were sold to different tennis nerds, collectors etc.
@@walnuss_1696 i can see your point. I think the mold remains the same for years. it is about the size and head shape - grommets and string pattern he likes no matter paintjob it is. However in each racquet batch manufacturing he might be trying some new layup. Those tiny materials and some unknown carbon fiber before put it to his mold
and that cause the slightly different feels in each of his batch. If you have a plenty of his racquets from different years of manufacturing, you will notice a little different feels when it is hit. Though there is pretty much the same amount of lead tape and silicone they customized later on
Please review Domi Thiem's racquet
So what your missing is that the spacing is much different that 18/19
Please review other pro racquets Jonas.
I find playing with pros racquets much easier than what is sold commercially they extra weight adds stability and creates the feel you need for lag , any smaller size frame will demand better mechanics but the manufacturers don’t sell these at professional specs because it would be too expensive for them to make - it’s cheaper to make huge frames that have little to no stability - lots more profit and then scam the customer ;) to thinking it’s the real thing
I'm just a bit confused, in your previous video about Novak's racquet, you said the prostock code was PT113B but now you're saying it's a PT346.1 ...So did he switch mold from 2018 to 2021? Thank you for the reply!
- from a tennisnerd from Montreal, Canada.🤜🏼🤛🏼
Yes, he switched! They are very similar, though
Are players who seem to be using the Wilson Blade using a retail frame or a pro-stock?
A lot of them use a prostock called Wilson H22
There has been a suggestion recently on an Instagram comment by HEAD account that we could be getting the actual racket of Novak Djokovic on stores soon. Lets see.
That would be cool, but I believe it when I see it :D
@@Tennisnerd Same here.
What about PT113.B ??? I though that was the pro code??
That was the previous code
+ .1, 18x19, new grommet channel. Essentially a modded 113b but.....new code
Not any backhand strokes?
PT346.1 is 18x19 and 27.1” long
PT311B is 18x20 and 27” long
Right?
Correct!
@@Maksimov88thanks ma dude!
PT113B
Does he still use it? Only 95 sq inches??
Good video
Comparison would be cool
Didn't he use X1 instead of gut for a while?
Hey fellow tennis nerd! What's the title of the song on the intro?
Found it 🤣
czcams.com/video/9rm5ZCVeSAA/video.html
What are the stiffest rackets out there?
Would his racquet be more demanding than a ProStaff 6.1 classic?
Yes. The classic had a swingweight of like 330-335. His has a swingweight of 360+
You need to get Mike back so you can have some nice looking classic strokes on the play test! From Mike ;)
Haha 👍🏻
It's funny that you point out right away that the racquet is not for sale. 😆 Cause you KNOW some of your viewers were thinking about it.
I thought he merely modified the pt113b1
What’s the beam width?
Should be 22mm
20 mm beam from when you took that? Just measure it, is 22mm.
FYI Novak uses gut mains, poly cross...
Yeah, I know but I prefer it like this tbh
@@Tennisnerd its like they dont watch the video
@@Tennisnerd At 2:17 mark, the caption from your video in yellow says :"Novak uses natural gut in the crosses and ALU Power Rough in the mains" This is not correct info.
@@Tennisnerd Would love to see you make a vid for Wilson Pro labs six one 95 pleaseee? thank you!
@@Tennisnerd who cares what you prefer? Don’t make false claims about the players actual set up to suit your preferential agenda. Don’t be stupid
Head really needs to up their racquet's qc. Every time I see Head racquet on reviews their finish are amazing, but when I got my speed pro 2022 the paint job is just dissapointing. A lot of bubbles on the glossy part, blurred lines between the black and white.. Tbh it looks like the paint job was done by an amateur.
LA RAQUETA MAS HERMOSA DE ESTE MUNDO. HASTA DICE NOVAKKK MORIIIIIIIII ESPECTAAACULAAAAARR
👍🏻
Head lied to us for all these years and never sold Novak s true racquet once. Nice.
all brands do this, 99% of the time the pros use a different racket than they advertise (although they might be similar but a much older version.)
they never lied they said endorse lol
@@AC852HK we need more alt for cheating.
@@carl4019 how on earth is his radical similar to a speed he never touched ?
These rackets are heavy they not got mediocre players you need to have sound technique
What grip size?
L3
@@Tennisnerd 🙏
I thought Djokovic use 100 or 98
Never thought it is a 95….
always has been. Its just been paintjobs and marketing that has fooled the public.
Simona Halep racket please
He plays with one of the smallest heads on tour. Not sure if there's anyone who plays with anything smaller.
Marin cilic?
95 is still pretty common.
@@patricioab Yes. He uses 93!
@@patricioab 93 Prestige Rev
@@chuckfriebe843 Shapovalov , Edmund, Medvedev and others. all 95.
Hey just a little observation , you preparetion seems a little late at some shots especially for a heavy racket like this and swings can be more compact as the swing speed is much slower. I payed with a speed pro for few months and I really do not recommend anyone unless they are aiming to be a pro to play with racket like this. Even few hours can hurt your arm badly, enough to put you off, or keep you away for weeks.
I'd consider myself a beginner since I just started 9 months ago. I got the speed pro a few weeks ago and it's doing really great. It actually helps me correct my form since it's a very demanding racquet, I have to hit as clean as possible to make it work. Slacking off just a little bit and the ball will shank. But no wrist or elbow issues so far.
Ok this is messing with my head! All this time he’s been playing with a 95 incher? Doesn’t that kind of go against the conventional wisdom on the type of racquet that would suit his baseline game?
