Given the buzz generated by the new Wilson 99S - apparently, deservedly so - and in anticipation of its demoing/purchase, my appetite for equipment aided spin generation has been whetted by consideration of the Exo 100 Tour and derivatively the POG (in both MP/OS versions).
I believe this post is in the correct place, although I can understand why the classic racquet section may be more appropriate - but I am nonetheless baffled as to why this racquet appears to have limited popularity here and fails to command much resale value on the big auction site. Were there just a ton produced (relative to the other classics), or is there some significant flaw associated with them? I understand that they are weighty, but not apparently much more so than the classic heads or pro staffs. Also, I believe Chris rated the top-spin on the MP as an 87 - comporting with the general sentiment here that this racquet is a legend in spin-generation, and therefore feasibly viable today. Finally, and particularly with the OS, this racquet has one legend associated with it's use (sorry Michael Chang fans, but MC is not a legend). So what gives, why is there such little discussion/regard/recommendation for this racquet?
