Courier's red and the classic wilson?
Thanks for the link to the tennis.com interview with Courier. One question: The story refers to Courier playing with the same Wilson racquet for 25 years. Is that the Pro Staff? If so, how do you...

not all donnays alike
Disagree that you can weight up a Donnay White and have it play like all the other X-Series racs. The blacks and blues are the only ones with hexagonal molding that takes spin to the max for...

white more power than black?
Don't think so. Extra heft of the black, i think, gives it more "collision" against incoming balls. None of the Donnays are for folks who don't generate at least some of their own power. If they do,...

Forget Wickie, Donnay got mats and courier
More significant endorser than Wickie for Donnay -- they got Wilander and Courier -- names people here (USA) that mean more than an obscure Belgian player.

Wickmayer racquet
She's Belgian and that's where Donnay has its roots. But it's definitely not one of the new Donnays, the beam looks almost widebody. Could be just a new paintjob of her old racquet maybe, like Fed's...

wilson thinbodies vs. donnay
The big dif between the Wilson 5.5 thinbody of the late 90s and the new Donnay 15 mm beams is the Wilson was hollow which meant it buzzed and broke. Donnay's are solid, filled with something the...

94 vs. 99
JGads...Yeah, a little more power in the 99 because of the larger head size, but not that much to sacrifice control. You still need a full swing to get maximum pop from either, but it doesn't have to...
