What a crock of arbitrary tweaking.
Federer's greatest mistake was not swapping to a larger racquet much earlier in his career.
He played with a 90 sqi bat up to 2014.
Nadal's Babolat Pure Aero is 100 sqi. He's used it since forever. And why not.
Gives a massive difference in power....
I'd suggest if Federer's reticence to change bats earlier cost him multiple slams....
Finals, then 4 in a row!
