It's definitely worth something even without Roger's signature because where else can you get a PS 6.0 85 with a HPS 6.0 95 Tour paintjob on it?

Was there ever a PS 95 Asian (lighter than SV or US standard version, which I think was 12.4)?

No amazing eyedropper here.

^^^ I saw Roddick and Gasquet play a set on the practice courts at queens yesterday, Roddick looked pretty sharp. Granted sometimes his tactics are questionable.

Vision84 · 06-10-2008, 02:24 PM

Clearly a K90 under the paintjob.

Notice how it specifies that it's for grass.

I always wondered if people can give it recommendations or stars or something. Just a thought.

Also, Im tempted to ask him if i can borrow it for an hour to put it on an RDC machine. Now that would be something.

Now if we can get a current model.. that would be beyond awesome.

hrstrat57 · 06-10-2008, 05:02 PM

Me, I'd string it up and hit with it for giggles....but I'm not too bright. I have vintage guitars I play that I shouldn't, but nothing new compares so....

I like to play with my toys not hang stuff on walls.

Never quite understood the collector thing.....my bad I guess.

Anyway good work!

In order to play with the old Fed stick, you'll have to have the PONYTAIL OF DOOM!

Isn't the K90 pretty much a customized PS85 with a bigger head?

I doubt that he (TH) would let you do that.

A TW poster.. of GOAT status.. asked me to make an offer to TH for the racquet.

TH wouldn't bite. Says he is going to frame it and display it in his store. So you better get over there and ask for a quick swing before it goes behind glass.

Sup.

Usually the gear heads are pretty shitty at tennis. I don't even know what my string tension is, and guess what? I don't need to because as long as it's vaguely tight I play the same.

how do u know what to tell the guy to string it at?? (wat do you say??? string it tight??)...believe me the top pros know exactly what they string their racquet at and with wat string or hire very expensive people to know....a lot of the top pros are gearheads/... they have to be... or hire very expensive gearheads to service them... it is important... and since us regular folk dont have a 100 grand to spend on a professional gearhead.... we do it ourselves. thanks
