Me and my racket: Sam Stosur Lee Goodall The popular Aussie and 2010 French Open finalist Sam Stosur has shot up the rankings to a career high of No.5. She talks to tennishead about her tennis racket... This interview first appeared in the September 2009 edition of tennishead magazine. Since then, the Aussie has gone one better at Roland Garros by reaching the 2010 final, and has switched her strings to Babolat's RPM Blast. 去年終TennisHead雜誌，用了大篇幅報導Sam在法網連砍三后的奇幻之旅。裡面有個小單元，訪問選手和她的球拍。這單元第一次取材自Sam，是在2009年，雜誌在當年9月出刊。2010年終出刊又重刊一遍。後來Sam將球拍線換成"Babolat's RPM Blast"並在法網闖入決賽，這球拍線在Babolat是被歸類在訴求力量為主。因為不才小妹用的是YY初級進階拍，輕到不行的RQIS 30，線也不太講究，只能參考Babolat官網說明，上面指出，它適合常打有爆發力上炫球為主的選手使用，能製造不可思議的炫度，獨特的擊球感，附帶強大力量的重擊效果，使用的知名選手除了Sam，還有Rafa和Tsonga。 Sam與教練閒聊中曾透露: http://tinyurl.com/3nrljn7 (1:36秒) 接下來進入本文 ~ ---- tennishead: What was the first racket you played with? Sam Stosur: It was a mini white Slazenger with multi-coloured strings! Then I got a Wilson Hammer Junior – that was my first real racket. Q. 第一次使用的球拍是 ? A. Slazenger的迷你白色球拍，上面有很多不同顏色的線(玩具?)，第一隻真正的球拍是 Wilson Hammer Junior。 th: What do you play with now and why? SS: A Babolat Pure Storm. I changed to it just this year. It’s one of the best rackets I’ve ever used. I get lots of power with it but also lots of control. It’s the type of racket where if you put something into it, you’re gonna get it back. To me it’s a real racket. If you need a bit of touch, you can play that kind of tennis as well as the powerful stuff. Q. 現在用的是哪支球拍，使用它的原因 ? A. Babolat的Pure Storm，今年才剛換的，它是我用過最好的球拍之一，帶有很多的力量、操控性也很好，想怎麼打就怎麼打，隨心所欲，對我來說這是支真正的球拍。輕輕揮動就能打出強勁的球路。 th: Do you think frames can match the type of game style that a player takes on court? SS: Absolutely. In the past when I was a bit younger I wasn’t using the right racket for the way I was trying to play but as I’ve got a bit older I’ ve realised how much equipment can help. I’m happy to have found a racket that really suits me. Q. 你認為球拍框的種類，可供選手發揮各種類型的球風嗎 ? A. 當然。以前我還小時，我沒使用正確的球拍打球，長大一點後，我了解有哪些裝備能幫助我，很開心能找到適合我的球拍。 th: How often do you get new frames? SS: About every three months, so I’ve still got the ones that got me to the semis of the French Open. Q. 多久換一次新的球拍框 ? A. 每三個月換一次，所以我身邊目前還留有一支球拍，它陪我晉級到今年法網四強。 (PS. 因為是取材自2009年) th: How many do you travel with? SS: This week seven, but normally six. Q. 妳習慣帶多少球拍四處征戰 ? A. 這禮拜是七支，但一般只帶六支球拍。 th: How many do you take on court? SS: All of them, but on grass like this week I don’t change rackets during a match that much. Q. 會帶幾支上場比賽 ? A. 全部，不過像這週的草地賽，我就沒那麼常在場上換拍了。 th: How many are freshly strung before a match ? SS: Not all of them – between two and four on grass. Q. 在賽前會換多少條新的球拍線 ? A. 不會全換掉，在草地上打球，大概換兩到四條。 th: What tension are they strung at ? SS: Between 52 and 55 pounds. I always use the same string whatever the event, but I’ll change tensions from surface to surface. At Roland Garros I was stringing them at 53 and 54 pounds, some at 55 pounds, and here in Eastbourne 52 pounds. Q. 穿線的緊度 ? A. 介於52到55磅之間。不管我打哪種賽事，我都用一樣的球拍線，不過我會依照球場類型調整球拍線的緊度，法網會維持在53和54磅，在伊斯特本這裡打球，則是52磅。 th: What strings do you use ? SS: Half Luxilon Big Banger and half Babolat VS gut. Q. 妳用什麼球拍線 ? A. 一半的Luxilon Big Banger與一半的Babolat VS gut。註. Luxilon Big Banger: 男子網壇很多人使用，包括品超和蘇打綠，力量與操控兼具。 Babolat VS gut: 偏向手感和操控性。 th: Have you ever experimented wildly with tensions? Ever dipped into the 40s? SS: Ha! No, I’ve never gone that low. I know some of the guys string their rackets in the 40s so I reckon one day I’ll string one up really loose and see how it goes! Could be interesting on the volleys! With my old rackets I used to string them in the 60s, so it’s much nicer on my arm and shoulder now. Q. 你有實驗過用比較誇張的緊度穿線嗎？比如，下降到４０磅？ A. 哈，沒有，從沒那麼低過。我知道一些男生會這樣搞，不過我想有天我也來試著　　用很低的磅數來穿線，看到時會怎樣，在截擊時可能會變得比較有趣！(彈力強) 　　我的舊球拍穿用６０磅的緊度穿線，所以現在我的肩膀和手臂狀況好很多了。 th: Vibration dampener　? SS: Yes, I’ve pretty much used them all my career – I hate the sound of the ball pinging off the strings without one so they take that noise away! Q. 使用避震器？ A. 嗯，我的網球生涯少不了它們，我討厭球從球拍線上彈出去的聲音，它們能讓　　那些噪音消失。 th: Do you have your frames balanced with lead tape ? SS: Yes. When I was testing the Pure Storm it had nothing on it, it was just off the shelf. I hit for five minutes and then I put a bit of lead tape on the top of the frame and bit on each side. I hit a bit more and I could immediately see that I was getting a lot more depth on my shots. Then I tried putting some in the handle, then I was hitting the ball too far, so you just keep playing around with it. It was very interesting and Babolat now do it for me. It’s tricky because you have to make sure it’s balanced right for your whole game – groundstrokes, obviously, and for me my serve is important too so the balance has to be just right. Q. 妳讓你的球拍框和加重片取得平衡嗎？ A. 嗯，當我試打Pure Storm這支球拍時，它上面是沒有任何東西的，只是個空架子，　　我打了約五分鐘，然後放一點加重片在拍框頂端，另外放一點在拍框側邊，然後多　　打久一點，可以看到球路加深了很多。接著試著放一些在拍尾，但這下球又飛太遠　　了，所以我大概就是一直反覆實驗，這很不容易，因為你必須確保它的平衡性適合　　我的打法（擊落地球），我的發球也是重要的一環，所以平衡度必須調得剛剛好。 th: What about grips ? SS: I use white Babolat grips on all my rackets and I always have a new one for every match. Q. 那妳的握把布呢？ A. 我全部的球拍都用白色的Babolat握把布，每比完一場比賽就換新的。 th: Do you have any equipment-based superstitions ? SS: No, not really. I went through a superstitious phase during the French Open this year but after a few days was like, ‘No! I can’t do this, this is too stressful!’” Q.　妳有裝備上的迷信嗎？ A. 算沒有吧，今年(2009)法網我有進入迷信階段，但過幾天後我跟自己說，　　" 我不能一直這麼做，這樣壓力太大了！ " Sammy的球拍小檔案： Babolat Pure Storm GT http://tinyurl.com/3k2jvoo Length: 27.0in Head size: 98sq.in Strung weight: 312g Material: Graphite Tungsten Balance: 1pt head light Beam width: 21mm String pattern: 16x20 Recommended tension: 55-65lbs 操控度稍大於力量，但整體算平衡的球拍。除了Sam，還有智利選手Ganzales使用。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.40.77.238
