All set for food. Even when every kid and grandkid arrives before work to raid the fridge. Daily Now know why my wife stopped cooking after Thanksgiving.Should I even waste my time trying to talk you outta that NOS MAX200G? Will trade for food as well...
The weight takes away any flutter. Great for flat or sliced strokes. Weight makes it easy to serve. Tight string pattern kinda limits topspin. Learned to string much more loosely, 48-50#. Fun hit but not worthy..
Sounds a lot like a Fischer Superform

Fischer
Graphite composite
I've got one...need to get my Fischers out and take a look.
That version of Fischer Stan Smith Superform Mid was a graphite-fiberglass composite, with a touch of titanium in the mix. This model was also used by Anders Jarryd, Jonas B.Svensson, and Jo Durie on tour around 1984-1985.
Never saw anyone using a Fischer back in the 70s or 80s. Thought it was a cool pic.
I tied for first place in a "fast serve" contest using the original SuperForm. Sad news for the sponsor of the event...Yamaha
Was in a fast serve contest in the early eighties. Winner used a T-2000, served over 100 mph. He then hit a forehand 95 mph. Racquet head speed trumped graphite.I tied for first place in a "fast serve" contest using the original SuperForm. Sad news for the sponsor of the event...Yamaha
Three of us tied... a local teaching pro with a T3000, me with the SuperForm and a fellow one year out of playing for a highly ranked D1 university(while wearing dress shoes,suit pants with vest/tie AND hitting our wood Jack Kramer auto strung with tournament nylon!!!).
Still have an NOS Spectrum 90 & a Yellow Limited Edition. Couple POG mids, Graphite II mp, and a Super Graphite OS.........................aka Precision Graphite
Ok.. Do you know its RA flex?
The original Spectrum was a different animal, for sure. Seemed a fair number of folks gave them a serious try; but a year later, not so much. It was solid in a "made of plaster" sort of way to me; but not particularly lively. The 'lookalike' Tri Comp was completely different and enjoyed a bit of a run; but also didn't hang on(in our area...Atlanta).
So when did the CTS series/Graduate get released?
Don't forget I used the original and made the finals of a local MxD event (with Susan Sadri, John's little sister) !!!
Somebody will have the exact date; but they were popular ca 1990-92-ish

Missing the head guard?Seeing Stan Smith makes me want to get some court time with the Superform I found at a Goodwill. ($3, well used, but no cracks)
was there ever one lol? I'm no expert on these things. All I can say is it feels pretty sweet when you nail the center of the strings, and pretty awful anywhere else. Last time I tried swinging it I put it down after 5 minutes, but I'm wanting to give it another go.
Are the strings as old as the racquet? If they are avoid volleying.
I can't say, but I'm sure they're ancient.
No head guard on any of those that I ever saw(or have now). Sure wouldn't hurt to throw on some head tape
Yep, That original Superform dates from around 1979-1981, and Fischer’s first plastic bumper guards appeared on some of its models for 1987. The first Head and Wilson frames with bumper guards appeared in 1984; by 1987 almost all “pro shop” racquets had a replaceable bumper guard.No head guard on any of those that I ever saw(or have now).

He seems to have intentionally omitted a couple of bottom crosses. Those racquets with shared holes give some leeway with stringing. I often skip outer mains myself.
Needs a VibraStop for sure
Nope, it’s strung correctly. Those diamond-shaped Superform mids had a bunch of open real estate on the bottom of the face!
