Henry Bernet is a young Swiss tennis player that looks very talented, let’s look closer at his career so far and racquet setup.
Henry Bernet’s tennis racquet
Henry Bernet’s racquet is as classical as his playing style, a Wilson Blade Pro (pro stock code H22) in 18/20 string pattern strung with natural gut in the mains and Luxilon Alu Power (it could be Alu Power Rough, if anyone knows, please comment) in the crosses. A great setup for players who value control and feel and do not need help in terms of spin and power from the racquet.
In terms of customization, it does look on pictures that Bernet has a bunch of lead tape in the top of the hoop. If you know more about Bernet’s racquet and his specification, please comment below or reach out via Instagram @tennisnerdinsta.
