I am actually CERTAIN the 6.0 85 has advantages over many other tennis frames. CC

but is the general consensus that fed uses a racquet with a swingweight in the 330's? that's shockingly low. especially for what he does with that forehand.

but to each his own, as they say

Only if you're not good enough to take advantage of its advantages.

I'd say Sampras was probably "good enough".

At what level do you play? Are you primarily a baseline player? Do you simply prefer MP's or OS's for some particular reason? Best, CC
