Andrew “Andy” Johnson is one of many upcoming young American players. Currently in the top 800, but what is his racquet and gear?
Andrew Johnson’s tennis racquet
Andrew Johnson’s racquet is a Solinco racquet, it looks like the one referred to as the M3 prototype. Solinco has two established lines in the Whiteout (control) and the Blackout (power/spin), but will be releasing a third option in the near future. There have been a few different prototypes around (we have tested one of them) and Johnson seems to have gone for one. Before that, he was using the Whiteout. It looks like he is using a full bed of Tour Bite, but could also be Tour Bite Soft.
