Max Schoenhaus is a young German talent, a junior Grand Slam doubles champion, playing with a classic one-handed backhand. But what is Schoenhaus racquet and gear?
Max Schoenhaus tennis racquet
Max Schoenhaus racquet is a HEAD Extreme Pro or perhaps an older generation called the HEAD Extreme Tour, which is also used by Lorenzo Musetti. I am unfamiliar with his customization but the string setup looks like a full bed of HEAD Hawk Touch.
The HEAD Extreme Pro is one of those racquets that seems to suit the one-handed backhand very well, and Schoenhaus is yet another example of it.
