Used to use a blx six one tour 95, loved it for its spin and feel then found a pog os "1977" at a bootsale for 5 pounds so i decided to give it a go. Strung it with alu power at 58, added 14 grams of lead to it to bring the sw up to 355 my normal sw and damn, i honestly play better with it than my "newer" frame?! I get just as much spin, more power and alot more forgiveness of this frame than my 95. Feel and confort is top notch too, Makes me wonder if theres pros out there using older models with paintjobs. Gonna stick with my pog and give the misses my 95.
Yes sir, lots of ATP pros use old school frames
Andy Murray, Gilles Simon, Tommy Haas and many other use the old Head Pro Tour 630/280 under modern paint jobs and pro stock denominations, like pt54a or e
Robin Haase is one of the last PC 600 users. I believe Tobias Kamke still rocks the PC 600 too
The 6.1 classic, or any of its itineration, and/or clones are very common racquets on the tour, specially the 18/20's .
My beloved 6.0 95 is also there. Stephen Robert still uses it, and there should be some more like him
Even Babolat still produces old models with softer layup for their players. Fognini is a clear example. Rafa's Aerodrive is the 1st. generation from 2006 (???).
