"It's a HUGE decision!" 👀 | Why has Andy Murray changed racket? 

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.

Naomi is Broady 😂

@@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.

Nick uses Ai.

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

he's playing with the ezone

@@crazyinthepop5422 ah ok.He was tesing the Percept

Ezone100

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

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.

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! 😊

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.
