What Racquet Does Matteo Berrettini Use?

Over the past couple of years, Matteo Berrettini has come out to be a promising star on the tour. Last year, the Italian won two titles along with being a runner-up in Madrid and Wimbledon. This year as well, even though he is yet to win a title, he has sure produced decent performances in the tournaments, he has taken part in.

While Berrettini is tasting success in the best possible way, a question that arises is what supports the Italian to maintain his form? As they say, a warrior’s weapon is his biggest support during a war. In the same way, Berrettini’s biggest support is his racquet. Extracting from it, another question that arises is, what racquet does he use?

Unraveling the racquet of Berrettini

Matteo Berrettini has a long list of sponsorship deals in his bag. In his long list of sponsors, one of the most prominent brands in the American racquet-making brand HEAD. The 26-year-old currently uses one of the most premium racquets of the brand, the Head Graphene 360+ Extreme MP.
The racquet is the latest edition of Head’s Extreme MP series. With a 100 square inch head size and 27 inches in length, the racquet has the classic Graphene 360 feel of stability and power. However, the one added feature that makes it Graphene 360+ is the addition of spiral fibers in the lower head of the racquet. This newest addition to the racquet gives a cleaner and smoother feel during the time of contact.

Berrettini is one of the most aggressive players in the current lot of players. His aggressive game combined with decent court movement gives him the room to hit his desired shots with ease. However, playing 100% aggressive with a 318gms strung racquet seems to be some miscalculation. Analyzing carefully, the Italian compliments his aggressive game with just the right pinch of spin. That is where the role of the racquet’s Spin shaft technology comes in picture. The technology helps the player control the amount of spin he wants to put in while hitting a shot.
