The RD-3 came from the same mold as the RD-7, but was a cheaper version made in China and not Japan. It was lighter (11 oz or so) and more flexible, with a fairly high fiberglass content. The...

Small French company from the 1970s and 1980s. They made beautiful wood racquets, including a few open-throated mid sizes, then a few graphite models. They probably folded before 1985 or so. I recall...

The Equijets are surely very special frames. I bought 2 LT301s in 1995, the year they were discontinued and Lacoste stopped producing racquets. Even in French stores, they were hard to find by then,...

It's an anatomically/ergonomically-shaped grip, with an hourglass design. Donnay and Pro Kennex were experimenting with this shape in the late 1980s. Some people hated it. In my recollection, it was...

Rival made a few models like these. They were reviewed in the 1989 World Tennis racquet issue, with excellent scores. I've always wanted one.

Wal-Mart release, same as other High Beam models (Aggressor, etc.). Not a bad frame at all, considering that they sold for $39.99 in the late 80s.

Definitely a release for the European market. I bought a pair of those in France in 1995. They were already being discontinued at that time, so I'd say that this frame hit the market around 1992-93?...

It was the bright red one. The Torsion Box made it a better design than the Prince Mono, indeed (although I did like the Prince as well — great volleying racquet).
