He already tried the Head Prestige MPL, which is a lighter one and a slightly bigger headsize, but he didnt like it.
“You hit the ball boy with your racket.”
Did his deal with head expire?
The e-zone is a weapon in the right hands. A modern racket that takes some time to get used to.
Unrelated: Is Naomi taller than Broady?
Naomi is Broady 😂
Long overdue change by Andy. Hope it works for him
Its exactly the same racket they have been using since 15. They get paid to have a different paint job.
Even on the racket package when you are buying it has in fine print *players may be using not exact racket "
@@Creees some pros do use exactly the stock that’s on the market, some modify stock with lead, some have full custom. This is completely new racket for Andy. Not a paint job.
It’s a Yonex not a Head. Much more modern frame compared to the Radicals.
Head didn't renew his contract so he was free to look further afield, Johnny O'Mara got him to try Yonex who sponsor him and I guess he ended up liking the ezone
Probably Yonex gave him a nice sponsorship post-career as well.
@@sjjapp he also bought a bag?
Highly unlikely given he spent 99.9% of his career with Head.
@@PF9O apparently he's said himself that he walked into a shop and bought it. So it's not a sponsorship.
@@sjjapp could be! Yonex rackets are probably the most powerful rackets production-wise.
@@EasyBreezy41 not sure what you mean by that. People often refer to Yonex rackets as having the best quality control among retail rackets. Is that what you're referring to? That wouldn't make a difference for Murray there as he measured all the rackets himself. Yonex quality control only matters when you're just relying on stock retail rackets being somewhat close to the specs they advertised, as in with Yonex you have slightly higher odds of getting that.
An Ezone 100 is essentially a different play on the Pure Drive formula. Trades a little force per gram so to speak for a little more directional control and more control over flatter shots as well. The Pure Drive has a little extra ease of spin access. Rackets go like that. Pull one way, another stat goes the other way.
It's an interesting choice with his play style including tactics and swing mechanics. I wouldn't have thought he'd have gone with that one to be honest but he must have found some good data with his hits with that racket.
I guess out of all the modern spin 100s, it's the one that should suit him the best because it rather surprisingly handles flatter through court shots quite well, with Murray hardly being a Ruud (who also uses an Ezone 100, but in a very different setup) with the spin and height, especially off the backhand. Yet it should offer some more forgiveness that I could definitely see helping him if he can get used to it.
Would be great to see him finish his career on better terms.
Casper is using DR100 and Nick is using DR98. Older version.
Nick uses Ai.
honestly a bit genius move from yonex because people tend to forget what happened before like yonex? yonex it is, always was lol
Andy you’ve had a great career but it is now time to hang up the racket, not just for your legacy but more importantly your health. Go and enjoy being a full time husband and father whilst your kids are young trust me time flies by and you will regret trying to hang onto the glory days and missing the time with your family.
Disagree. Play as long as you can.
People quickly forget your legacy anyway so enjoy it at the time. Your retired a long time as a professional athlete. Just keep playing as long as you can.
Why would you have an expesnive painful surgery and rehab just to retire anyway.
ON THAT NOTE DO NOT HAVE AURGERIES
broady became a tv reporter ?
Naomi has been doing match co-commentary for a while. She's actually not bad. Liam still plays.
plays what ? scrabble ?@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat
@@jakubhas7879in the top 150 in the world…
Havent seen him for a bigger while. Nowhere close to draper or even paul jubb@@olivercox61
«Huge decision»…Not like he has anything to lose any longer…
The Percept is not a power racket though
The Ezone is the Yonex power racket
he's playing with the ezone
@@crazyinthepop5422 ah ok.He was tesing the Percept
Ezone100
Wow a move to Yonex, those rackets really are chalk & cheese. He wouldn't have done it if it didn't feel right 👍
That yonex is fry pan only for clay
maybe he just wants to play RG and then retire :)
Why do you say that? Yonex quality control is unparalleled.
I rarely see people leave the Yonex universe once they're familiar
@@PF9O i once tried a Yonex racket and really liked it. It was one of those slightly longer frames, with very nice control. Ended up with the Babolat Pure Drive instead, fell in love with its easy power and good feel on the ball.
@@alexlackner1945 I recommend trying the Ezone, it’s like what you described with the PDrive.
Definitely one the most power friendly sticks I’ve tried, had to string it almost 6 pounds more than previous rackets to tame it!
@@PF9O yeah that was my issue with the Pure Drive, i also had to string it quite hard. Used quite thin full poly strings for a while which produced too much spin and hurt my shoulder in the long run. Unfortunately the combination of gut and poly wasn't really known back then, that would've been a better setup.
Sono un suo tifoso da sempre, però l'operazione non è seria.
Anche se ha interrotto con Head, avrebbe dovuto continuare con il suo attrezzo (PT57A), peraltro customizzato.
Il limite del suo gioco attuale non è il telaio, bensì la tensione delle corde, del tutto scorretta: con una tensione così alta, i suoi colpi non generano né velocità, nonostante la potenza delle sue braccia, né snapback.
Sarebbe bastato ridurre la tensione di alcuni chili.
Mi pare ci sia solo tanta confusione nel suo team, oppure hanno scelto di divertirsi e basta, senza prendersi più sul serio...
Peccato: ma è una loro scelta.
Blablabla what a load of waffle. Won't change his game at all.
If rackets didn't make a difference, why would all the pros be so particular and demanding about them?
Si comprende amigo but give our cousin a chance, man.
@@sneezeey I mean every player has there preference but really a racket is a racket and getting a different racket won't make much of a difference.
@@sneezeey Because they make a tiny difference.
Won’t change his game but it might change the outcome of the matches! 😊
I'm as big an Andy Murray fan as you will find, but he needs to retire, not change racket.
He’s retiring this season. Likely after Wimbledon.
He's out there enjoying tennis. Who's to say he should stop doing what he loves most
He's been in the top 50 in the last couple of months which is an incredibly high level considering he wants to retire this year
You clearly aren't a big Murray fan if you're telling him to retire. He's already said he's retiring sometime this summer, until then, let him enjoy his Tennis.
He is retiring, isn't he? I agree though he just cant compete at the highest level.
