Nope. New tech. "improvements" = marketing gimmicks and cost cutting. Nothing is better than 80's graphite (w/box beam construction). Cosmetics have improved...that's it.

You must play with the old POG mids. The new mids are awful. Cheaper, harsher...I like the grip shape though.

6.0 does everything better than the POG for me. Better feel, swing weight, serves, control, groundstrokes, volleys...I found the POG (newer iterations) way too stiff and jarring.
