I Believe he plays with the head speed touch MP a earlier model than the current head speed MP Like most juniors he's stuck with the racket which obviously gets new paint job to match the current model! The tension is pretty tight for a full bed of poly! Novak, Fed & Rafa use hybrids! I use a hybrid with poly in the mains and multi's in the crosses! I recently bought the speed MPL and customised it to my spec by adding lead to the hoop and blue tack in the handle! The light versions make great platform rackets so you can customise them to a slightly lighter version of the standard racket in the same line! Thanks Head!

@@zaidhakki4054 If these frames cost as much its because they become rare once they are discontinued. Jannik actually plays with the speed mp, but with an older version as mentioned by the tgt code. So the frame you basically can (or in the past) could buy is the Model that Jannik gets. The difference is that Head still manufactures all Pro Rackets in Austria, whereas the retails are made in China. Furthermore, Janniks frames gets customised to his desired weight and balance preference (as with all pros). So in the End his frames are all identical. This is not the case with retail rackets, as they have manufacturing tolerances of a few grams + and - from the indicated specs

Pros rarely change rackets but companies keep releasing iterations of the rackets and pros obviously can't keep changing rackets so they get paint jobs for their actual rackets to mirror the latest rackets they endorse.
