Really? can i know at what price did you buy it? and what is its highest string tension?

I can't remember exactly... it was 10 years ago. Back 10-12 years ago many of the player rackets were around $120-130. I am prety sure I've got it from TW. Back at that time TW was on the back pages of Tennis Magazine and for me it was the only option of getting it. Then, I sold it maybe around 7-8 years ago. I used to string my rackets tight, so I assume I was stringing it around 65lbs.

Owh i see, i dont know much about it because i just bought it unstring from the old shop at my places last week. The shop have a bunch of classic tennis racquet from a lot of brand and the racquet there were all from around 80's till 90's. The price are all same, 15$, and it is the price i bought for those two racquets that i show on the picture. There are a lot more of classic racquet at that shop and i think i gonna seek for other nice new 'unused old frame' from there because it was very cheap and very worth for that amount of money.

Where did you get those rolland garros balls?

Automatix · 12-18-2007, 08:05 AM

Eeee what do you mean? You can buy balls used at the US Open, RG, Australian Open etc. at any good tennis store...

Dunlop Roland Garros French Open (that's the proper full name) ball is now the official French Open ball and it replaced Tecnifibre Roland Garros French Open balls (the current model of this TF ball is Tecnifibre X-One).

I think you won't have any problems with buying these balls in the USA... I live in Poland so the info where did I get them is of no use to you... I think...

P.S.: There Was a sale on these balls so I bought like 10 cans (4 balls per can)

I REALLY like their quality! My favorite ball for clay

P.S.2: Here's a better photo:

Those Roland Garros balls fly too deep for me. They're very heavy, and they seem to have endless momentum if you flatten out your strokes too much, lol.

This is the Quantum Tour 10:

http://web.archive.org/web/200306181...OLKL-Q10T.html

This is the Tour 10 Gen 1 MP (it also came in a mid):

http://web.archive.org/web/200406060...VOLKL-T10.html

Some of the Tour 10 Gen 1s have "Quantum" written on them and some don't. I don't remember if it was the earlier or later versions. It's the same racquet with or without the "Quantum."

However, some of the earlier versions of the Tour 10 Gen 1 have "Volkl" written in red while Later models have "Volkl" written in black. The reds are heavier than the blacks. I don't think by too much. Ask Nobadmojo he's the expert.

**See 0d1n's and Ericsson's comments below. There is no red - black cosmetic coding on the Gen 1. I was wrong.**

The rackets in the picture are Tour 10 Gen I's. I have 3 of them myself, but I have the version with the Volkl and Tour decals instead of Volkl and Quantum.
The rackets are the same...just produced in different years.

Snoopy, see above. I think you're confusing things a little bit. All the 10 Gen I MP frames have "Volkl" written in white as far as I know, some have Quantum, some have Tour written on the "shoulders" of the racket (also in white). They also have TOUR (white) and Mid Plus (red) at the top of the hoop.

The red/black color you're referring to (I think) is related to the Gen II frame, which had a version with "Mid Plus" written in black and one with "Mid Plus" written in red at the top of the hoop. One of those (the black...as far as I remember) was heavier swinging than the other.

ericsson · 12-19-2007, 08:42 AM

Od1n is correct, quantum or tour is the the same, also about the black/red midplus, is only on the gen II, the gen 1 was only in red script.

snoopy · 12-19-2007, 08:44 AM

Well I guess I'm wrong.

I stand corrected.
