The new racket – Gravity Tour
So, it has been talked about in several forums before and now is officially confirmed, Sascha Zverev is now using a different racket. Since the market entry of the Head Gravity, he had been using the Pro Stock version of the 2019 Gravity Pro, Head TGT 344.3. This is a great racket that offers a lot of control and touch but doesn’t give much for free with its 20mm thin beam and 18×20 pattern. It is, as Jonas previously said, Head’s modern interpretation of a player’s frame, with a unique head shape and bigger sweetsop’s promise. Zverev beefed up his racket to 343gr with 360 swing weight. That way, it gets even more plow-through, but surely will be hard to handle for most players.
Now, it seems that Zverev will be using the Gravity Tour 100 mold, a very similar racket but with a thicker 22mm beam. According to sources close to Head, his new pro stock mold is now TGT 341.2, with the new Auxetic layup. His specs reportedly remain unchanged, but the frame of course will be different due to its thicker beam and a tad stiffer layup. All this will result in a more powerful, modern but slightly less plush frame.
