Diego Schwartzman’s 2013 Match Used Pro Stock Head TGK260.3 Racket – Early Career Extended Frame from Challenger Circuit

Presented here is a match-used Head TGK260.3 pro stock racket from Diego Schwartzman’s personal 2013 setup — a highly significant piece from the early days of his professional rise. This frame, a Youtek IG Radical MP pro stock, was the very model Schwartzman would continue to use for the entirety of his career, right through to his 2024 retirement.

Built to Schwartzman’s custom specs, this pro stock frame is extended length (27.5 inches) for added reach and leverage. It features an 18x20 string pattern, and is strung with Babolat RPM Blast. The throat still displays the original stringing sticker, marked at 52/52 lbs tension, a clear sign of its authenticity and match use. This racket dates to a pivotal period when Schwartzman was competing on the Challenger Tour, sharpening his game and preparing for his ATP breakthrough in 2014.

The TGK260.3 frame, though painted in Radical cosmetics, was never available at retail in this extended format — it is a true custom pro stock build from Head’s elite player service program. Schwartzman’s loyalty to this mold throughout his career makes this early match-used example even more meaningful and collectible.

From his underdog rise to becoming a fan favorite and top-10 player, Diego Schwartzman’s story resonates deeply within the tennis world. This racket is a rare and tangible artifact from the foundation of that journey — a piece of gear that helped launch one of the grittiest careers in recent memory.
