There is a great deal of speculation amongst tennis enthusiasts, however, that his racquet is not the standard nSix-One Tour 90 but rather a custom built racquet that is painted to look like the nSix-One Tour for promotional purposes. Proponents of this theory cite slight differences in the racquet he uses on court compared to the stock nSix-One Tour. One such visible difference is seen in the handle (or pallet) of Federer's racquet, as it is significantly shorter than the handle of the stock model. This could be due to his one-handed backhand (thus not requiring the extra length) and as such the handle had to be elongated on the model available to the public to accommodate players with two-handed backhands. The second visible difference is a slight variation in string pattern: The Perimeter Weighting System (bumps at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the frame) on Federer's frame has 4 grommet holes in it, whereas the stock nSix-One Tour has 5 grommet holes. The racquet purportedly used by Federer before the nSix-One Tour (the ProStaff Tour 90, the forerunner fo the nSix-One Tour) also has the same disparities between his model and the stock model, while his ProStaff and current racket are visually identical aside from the change in paint scheme. This topic is a subject of much debate, and is primarily speculation, with confirmation neither from Roger Federer nor from Wilson. However, tennis enthusiasts who support the theory claim that he isn't the only player to use a racquet that differs from what the markets say, as many players such as Andre Agassi, Marat Safin, and Lleyton Hewitt have racquets that have been exposed by enthusiasts to be different racquets.

He is correct, pro players use customized racquets, so dont expect to buy the one a top ranked pro is using (e.g. top 50). The one on the market that comes close to Federer's is the one at the link below.

As for buying on ebay, forget about it, half the racquets on there are fakes made in mainland china from companies like Jengatrade. Dealers are not allowed to sell on auction sites, so guess where the perfect market is for fakes (aluminum or 100% graphite with the same shape and paint job, at least they come close to the same shape and paint job, by the time you see it up close it is too late).

Since it's a heavier racket you'll have to generate the strength to really hit the ball. Not like lighter rackets where you don't have to generate that much strength due to its lightness. Maybe you can try a higher tension maybe 60, and try to adjust to it if you can't look for which k factor is in the same weight range as your old racket.
