Thanks, I just ordered the Fox Experimental. There was only one, so I hope I was in time to get it.

For all of our awesome customers that ordered Bosworth racquets this weekend,
There was a glitch in the system that allowed people to order the racquets after they had already been sold out. I am so sorry and want to apologize for any confusion. I would like to make it up to you guys by getting more Bosworth racquets up in the next week or two for everyone.
Again, I am so sorry!

Attention all customers who ordered the Fox Experimental:
We only had one Fox Experimental racquet in stock. It is sold out and we do not have any more. There was a glitch in the system that allowed people to order the racquet after it was sold. Just wanted to clarify from my previous post, I will be getting up more racquets from the Bosworth collection but not necessarily the exact same racquets. Sometimes like in this case, we only get one of a racquet. Again, sorry for the confusion and hopefully I can get up a different racquet that you are excited to get!

I'm going to have to keep my eyes on that section. If a Ceramic Destiny ever comes up, I'd like to get one.
Happy Friday,
We have put a couple more Bosworth racquets up for the weekend! Also, I wanted to give you a heads up that we will have a big update in about a week with racquets from Fox, Wimbledon, Spalding, and Yamaha just to name a few. When I post those I will be sure to update this thread!

Ooooh some Wimbledons! Gotta get me one of those!
what is the fischer vtt? it's not on the website anymore.
Brittany,
Why can't TW just take an inventory and list it all for sale? It seems like there's a pent up demand for many of these frames. Doing this piecemeal is kind of irritating.
$600 for the Muster? Damn.We have some new Bosworth racquets in stock! Get them while they are here. Most racquets only have one or two in stock!

Nope, not wood, but rather a nice graphite/fiberglass/Kevlar composite.$600 for the Muster? Damn.
But I'd be all over those Kneissel White Star Masters if they had grip size 5. BTW, are they wood? they're listed in the woodsy section.
I appreciate that, Mr Expert!Nope, not wood, but rather a nice graphite/fiberglass/Kevlar composite.
$600 for the Muster Prestige Pro Euro version is probably right on the money for an artifact like that. A similar, non-pro provenance Kennelbach-production "consumer" Prestige Pro in decent shape goes for $300 or so on auction these days; so it might be reasonable... remember, Herr Muster was a world #1 (albeit not with that racquet, but later).
Wooooooooooooooooow I was at work when the white star's went on sale. I wouldve bought 2 of them. Im so annoyed. Ive been looking for one for a long time.

how can you tell, whether the prestige pro was played by Muster or not?
do you have any provenance?
Good question.
In general, any player racket should have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) verifying the source/story. The Bosworth collection rackets often have tags identifying them to players but its not a published or explained type of identification. You could keep your TW receipt as part of the source verification and the TW description.
if TW writes a letter of provenance, stating explicitly that Warren Bosworth has told them, that the racket was not only customized for but also actually played by TM, that might be good enough. an actual letter from Bosworth himself would definitely be better.
treblings,
The racquet came directly out of Warren Bosworth's warehouse to our warehouse. On the racquet, there are two stickers one showing it was hit by Muster and the other showing it came from Bosworth's collection. Unfortunately, Warren Bosworth has passed away so we would be unable to get a letter from him or be able to write a letter that he told us.

Hi friends! I was very, very lucky last week and was able to purchase two of the Bosworth 1986 Kneissl White Star Pro Masters frames. I was thrilled – I have a personal connection to this model, having used them when new in tournaments in Europe and the USA. I was even able to get the pair in my grip size (3)!
They arrived yesterday. It’s interesting; they are both very well worn, showing lots of use. One of the frames has deep “court rash” down to the fiberglass, but only on one edge on one side, as though the pro who used this frame used it all season, and had the habit of playing with one certain side of the racquet “down” (as I do religiously), and scraped it on backhands only! The other shows far less head rash, but surface scrapes and reddish dirt (clay?). Both frames have quite a bit of lead tape affixed at 9, 12, and 3 o’clock positions, and on the shaft just above the grip. The grips are a nice Fairway leather grip, slightly unusual as 1986 was the first year Kneissl White Star Pro Masters featured the house-brand “Topstar” top grain cowhide grips in lieu of the Fairway grips which came standard on the model in 1983-1985. It’s quite possible that grips were swapped out by the Bosworth shop, but who really knows?
There are a couple primitive stickers on one of the frames (one’s just a few initials on a strip of cloth athletic tape!), but nothing I can see to signify who used them. With the grip size and weight, it must have been someone who had average or smaller hands, and was fairly strong. I recall Kevin Curren, Helena Sukova, and Jakob Hlasek using this model in 1986, but I can’t remember anyone else.

Srejber used the White Star Mid. Then the Masters 30.How about Milan Srjeber? (sp?) or Pavel Slozil?
