Ever Wondered How Sampras Would Have Done If He Used a PC600?

given sampras's style of flat ground strokes, ever wonder how sampras would have done if he used a PC600?

some things to consider:

-pc600 is slightly bigger in head size, which might have helped sampras at the french

-dense string pattern of the pc600, for his flat strokes

Hmm... this actually is a really interesting idea. This is what I can think of so far:

Pros

-Denser pattern gives even more precision to all of his shots, including serve (maybe a slightly enhanced or different feel, as well)
-maybe 4 inches would make a difference (though I wonder how... the shape of the racquet head maybe)
-Better tension maintenance for his nat gut

Cons

-Less natural spin from denser pattern
-A little less pop (or BOOM, in his case)
-Different feel overall
-Not a PS85 (not saying that it is better, just much different)
