^^ ok does anyone know how old this racket might be or whats its name even is? i know it says apt plus on the side, but i doubt thats its model.

and the strings are really really tight too (dunno now many lbs) and its heavy.

Hi, I had a Wilson "Cobra" years ago, which had the same blue stripes. It was aluminum, or steel, and was about $50 in the early 1980's

[Volly master]

haha is it that old ? wow no wonder serve and volley is really simple with this racket. it feels like thats what it was made to do :-P

I have a similar Wilson but it's white, mid-size headsize (even smaller than Pro Staff 85). I found it in my classroom of my high school (10 years ago). Definitely no one was interested in it and thus I took it. Oh well, but that's pretty spin friendly though.

What's wrong with the head? Why is it warped? (Check out the first picture)

Yeah, the left side looks flat. Obviously someone had problems playing with that one fine day ... ;)

Wilson did have a black aluminum racket called the Cobra, but it had the name on it. This racket looks cheaper, and probably is one of those discount store models.

Try ~ 15 years old, chain store racket, such as the late Herman'a World of Sporting goods would carry in the late 1980's . Yes the name on the side is correct. The Cobra has PWS and was the metal reply to the Prince Pro.

Also, looks similar to the Wilson Advantage aluminum which was a popular mid (or just below) level racquet in the early eighties.

I agree.

Hey, if it works for you, that's okay. After all, a man's home is his castle/basement/garden/tennis gear storage ....

Back in the early 80's a lot of the racquet mfg's used plastic between the frame at the 6 o'clock part of the racquets. They were horrible to play with. I didn't buy one and still used my woodie until they got their act together.

[Volly master]

hey it plays really well for me anyways, i like heavy rackets with big heads so i can S&V with them forever. the string tension is like ULTRA tight though, i know its 60+ lemme tell u that. i dont know if it was as tight as borgs, i doubt it, but ive gone agasint alot of fast serves and it doesnt seem like its going to break anytime soon :P
