I have a 2012 Pure Drive Roddick Plus (used a handful of times, brand new) ....... the specs are 337g strung......... 33cm balance...... and 328 swingweight. Very Nice frame when strung @ 60 pounds with Pro Hurricane mains and Babolat VS gut crosses. Keeping it as a collectable and use it every now and then, being a Roddick fan and knowing it was the last model he used before retirement.

Bryan brothers made the switch to Solinco, I think he’d go with the Solinco Blackout XTD with some lead similar to Bob and Mike.

@tamagonbagel6569 5 месяцев назад

Would be the easiest non-babolat transition. Great power frame.

@davidmaloney9505 5 месяцев назад

Wilson Blade 104 user who agrees with you. I also weight it up at 3 and 9. Use Babolat gut in the mains and ALU in the crosses. Great for play and also for teaching.

I have the black out and the PD. They feel almost exactly the same. Except the blackout makes a slightly more pingy sound when I hit with it.

@KunalKohli123 5 месяцев назад

Solinco blackout, also available in extended option 👍

@1gecky123 5 месяцев назад

If he wants to try other racquets that may not have an extended version, he could look at headlight racquets and get them professionally extended to 27.5. If he wanted to try head racquets, you can swap the pallet out and also keep the grip shape he is used to.

@MidcourtCrisis 5 месяцев назад

I'm happy to see a suggestion for Wilson. I left a comment on Andy's channel suggesting the same, however, for a racquet with a less than 100sqin head. What an incredible development it would be for Andy to find a new creative spirit with the brand of racquet that caused him so much hardship for ten years in the hands of his nemesis. And, from an American company no less. (I know, I know. Don't light me up) Cheers

@movdqa 5 месяцев назад

I had a Pure Drive Roddick many years ago and used it for about 6 months. The problem is that about once a month, I'd hit the ball the wrong way and it would twang my hand and it would feel numb for a few minutes. I eventually gave it to a nurse who took care of me after surgery who was a tennis player. I'd have no idea what he should use as my game is more of a counter-puncher all-court - not a big serve and volley and heavy topspin player.

@alanb6196 5 месяцев назад

I was the person who recommended the Diadem Nova+ on his Twitter feed.

@prophetmargin7497 5 месяцев назад

I still have the PD+ 2nd gen and it plays great, have it heavily leaded up at 3 and 9 and the tail, I'm guessing the SW is somewhere in the 370-400 range!

@jonathanchen1026 5 месяцев назад

He should definitely get Blackout from Solinco extended. Either 27.5 or 28. It would be the closest to what he used before with babolat

@WhiteStar117 5 месяцев назад

Prince ripstick/beast long body are my first thought. I feel like that might be the closest to his pure drive but maybe he wants something completely different these days?

@Zephyr77 5 месяцев назад

How do you feel about a Yonex Percept, either 97 or 100D for Andy's game? Most notably Hurkacz and Tiafoe use something similar, and have a similar game to Andy.

@outcometechnology 5 месяцев назад

No extended options in the Percept silo. Much better off with an EZone 100+, but the BlackOut XTD and Nova+ would likely be even better fits, as he's used to playing with a classic oval-shaped head. I'd probably be inclined to point him to the BlackOut, as the layup would be the most similar to what he's used to (no foam; not much dampening).

@beatrizdarosaguimaraes2553 5 месяцев назад

Would be nice to Wilson to reach him and create an extended ultra. USA Brand with an USA legend

@dustyroot4708 5 месяцев назад

@charlesfaure1189 5 месяцев назад

With an extended-length power racquet and a bunch of weight on the hoop, I'm surprised Andy didn't have serious problems at net and on serve returns.

@jasonlafond325 5 месяцев назад

a yonex ezone 100 extended? it would be pretty similar and customizable.

@rafalstachowiak3361 5 месяцев назад

Head PT57A. Like the one in this video I believe with the liquid metal prestige paint jobb.. 18/20 gut or multi hybrid.. great for Andy's knifing slice. He should focus his game on precision rather than power. Over the years he has removed his left hand from his racket and hits a one handed slice.. power at a later age will only promote injury.. he needs a scalpel not a hammer..

@toddhoyt4614 5 месяцев назад

String suggestion?

@garrydhintz8017 5 месяцев назад

I wonder what direction he'll go. Probably head radical or extreme. If he goes with Artengo or Solinco I honestly wouldn't be shocked. It would be cool if he lands with prince. Id love to see them with a high caliber sponsorship even with him retired it would still give them a huge boost.

@knightscourt9558 5 месяцев назад

Dunlop fx's or sx's?

@jarrettfinney4882 5 месяцев назад

Yonex exone plus 98 or 100 would be perfect. Japanese rackets are the best. I recommend 98 just for sake of variety. I’m a very similar player. He would wish he had it sooner

@DavidBartosik 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure Jonas would extend a 10% discount on a racquet consultation Andy! But jokes aside, what would it take to get Andy on the TN podcast? THAT WOULD BE EPIC!! I've been watching TN for years and you've gotten really good, Jonas! Interesting, insightful and very funny, which I wasn't expecting. ...and of course nerdy about the details.

@gdraskovic 5 месяцев назад

I played with his racquet that my buddy had for a while and if memory serves me it’s swirly 27.5 345 strung maybe 8-9pts headlight. Silicone in the handle multiple lead trips on 3 and 9 arranged so they overlap almost recreating Wilson pws. Having played with it I would say solinco is almost exact copy of how his racquet felt. Btw I am not sure why he does not want to play with babolat anymore but he almost single-handedly put them on the map in USA market. They should give him whatever he wants.

@messiahtennis2136 3 месяца назад

Considering the nature of the racket and his age, yonex ezone can be seen as the most likely candidate.

@goldencalf5144 5 месяцев назад

I bought a second hand Pure Drive Roddick. Insane power. Great for serving. But I couldn't control it on the ground strokes. I had to shorten my swing to the point where I was just bunting the ball, which the opposite of what I should have been doing. It takes a lot of skill to play properly with a racquet like that.
