I think it will be a new racquet, as his k factor is now on sale at all online venues. Usually a sign of a new and improved model coming out.

Sampras always said he wishes he had increased to a slightly larger racquet head size later in his career. Maybe fed is too.

Worst ad EVER. Love the head turn, just cracked me up. Seriously Wilson needs to fire their ad people and just use clips from their youtube competition as ads.

This is one of the all-time cheesy tennis commercials. I love the chest-pounding at the end! You tell 'em, F-Lo!

where's the comic booky one with fed, felo and i can't remember, a 3rd guy? it cracks me up when they say, 'raw superhuman power' and they pan up felo's arms! i hate the way he stands at the end too. so cheesy! i think cliffy d was doing the voiceover on the comic book one. the wilson ads are pretty sad and do not compel me to want to buy these racquets!

there's been a long time rumor that fed is playing with essentially the same 90 sq" pro staff, similar to the '84 models used by sampras, edberg and other champions, with a paint job of course. top pros use custom racquets that are different from what's in stores. some play with old models made to look like new ones, with personal modifications. people were suggesting fed change weapons and/or increase the frame size (he supposedly plays with the smallest frame on the tour) especially when he was 'on the decline' and he was against the idea. why change what obviously works so well? 15 GS, GOAT and he would never do it for the money. here's an interesting article from last year on fed's racquet… http://www.tennis.com/features/general/features.a...

Compare the Wilson commercials (including the one with Lopez, which is even worse) and abysmal Gillette commercials with this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlT5-jEcwyM Bo knows advertising!

come on, wilson is just showing us the truth- roger is a swiss robot and his racquets are made with laser beams! that's why he's so good!

the worst wilson commercials were actually the ones celebrating his GS wins this year. lazy bastards used old footage, a botched editing job and some computer graphics. maybe they ran out of money because they have to pay roger so much!

Yeah,good point on the racquet change, guys. We're just getting into the whole K Factor thing.

I'm still hoping Freakyfritters is right, and it's just a new pair of SOX wer'e talking about.

It reminds me of some anime. I cannot remember which one. Damn. But Roger looks hot, so that's a plus.

Wilson's definitely needs to fire their ad agency. NONE of the Wilson ads look decent. They all seem to be a decade late.
