Roger Federer is having a great 2014 and part of it is due to his new racket.
According to the Swiss Legend, the new racket has been instrumental not only for his larger head, but also for some other reasons.
Federer: I need to feel the racket..
During an interview to the EDGE Roger explains “I need to feel the racket. When I was play-testing I would relay how the racket felt to Wilson and they would make changes to the racket based on my feelings and comments.”
… I needed more power …
The Maestro added “Over the years, I had conversations with Wilson about switching rackets and in 2013 I finally felt it was the right time. For me, switching rackets was not only about a larger racket head, I was looking for a racket that was more forgiving and could provide me with easy power.
Some factors I looked closely at were spin, ball speed, racket head speed and ball impact at the sweet spot,”
Roger is currently ranked no.2 in the ATP Rankings and he is aiming for the top spot.
