Rackets designed to be taken apart

[Autodidactic player]

I've been collecting unusual rackets for years and some of my favorites are those that are designed to be taken apart. Here are three from my collection. Does anyone have others they can share?

Left to right:

Tretorn 7
Maynard AirPower
Jenro Twin Racket

are they nice to play with?

Allthough the Snauwaert Ellipse Touch was not designed to be taken apart, they can be.
Actually, I know a guy that plays with a 4 5/8 and when once every now and then his head breaks, he just buys one in any size.
Then he unscrews the racket, takes off the head section and places it onto his 4 5/8 handle. Been doing it for years, no problem.

And offcourse, the Technort Pirelli B1 or Stratos.
Almost got my hands on the first but my funds were not sufficient..

Just once, I'd like to show up to the courts with a small briefcase, open it up and assemble my racket in front of my opponent.
Then I'd drop a cassette into my boom-box and play Jim Croce during the warm-up.
You know the song ...

Nice to see you're taking care of the Tretorn

BTW, the 7 refers to its grip size. I think different grip sizes were available as well... In fact, if I remember right I had one with a 5 written on the handle a long while back.

I also have a new Jenro. Haven't hit with it yet. They said it was solid when I bought it, but it feels light, maybe even fragile. I could be wrong though.

Hi Rock. I'm sure you are correct - especially given where you live - but I do find it interesting that Tretorn also made rackets with 21 and 28 printed on them. If I ever see one with 14 on it I'll be convinced that they simply have a fondness for multiples of 7. :wink:

The Jenro looks really good hanging on the wall in two pieces. Unfortunately, that is the best thing I can say about it. It's way to light and it flexes/bends at the joining point when you hit the ball high on the head and even sometimes when you hit a bit off center to the sides of the head. This causes a very odd feeling on groundstrokes where it is somewhat stable on shots hit right in the sweetspot but if you hit off center it's unpredictable - bending/flexing sometimes quite a bit and other times there is almost no flex. Let us know what you think.
