Jakub Mensik’s Racquet
Jakub Mensik’s racquet is a Wilson Blade 98 with an 18/19 string pattern. He used to play with the Blade 98 18/20 but switched to the slightly more open pattern for more free depth. A similar pattern to Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. The ATP Tour wrote about Mensik’s racquet.
“The 18-year-old is also using more static weight, but the balance point is closer to the handle, and therefore, the racquet is more headlight.“
We don’t know Mensik’s exact racquet specs, but he strings his racquets with Luxilon Alu Power. If you know more, let us know in the comments. Thanks.
