I just got this racket in trade. I've seen a few of these in other collections but I don't know much about the racket/company and it's not listed in Kuebler's Book of Tennis Rackets or the 2007 supplement. Anybody got any information? Thanks.





Edit: I don't know why the name of the company was removed but perhaps this is part of the mystery!

It appears that they have a tennis store aswell, which could explain why it was edited out.

This looks like a knock-off of sorts, much like Lynn Bob Ray(something like that) 'knocked off' Blue Star with his Blue Ray strings back in the '70s. We bought a fair amount of supplies from ***** in the mid-late '70s...didn't know about a racket, however. This looks like a model from the '80s forward. I didn't know the Rays maintained a retail store...close enough to TW to be on the radar.

That is absolutely hilarious. You just see the Maxply on top and you think "well, there's nothing wrong" and then when you scroll down you go "WOAH!"

This is one of his adjustable length frames. I have a 32 inch long frame 95 in head size, from he who name shall not be posted.
