McEnroe playing with Wilson....

I just watched the McEnroe/Borg 1980 US Open final. Mac was playing with that Wilson racquet with the white throat (and 2 black diamonds?). Was that the Wilson Advantage? Or the Jack Kramer? (Nice to see Kramer, Budge and other greats in the crowd.)

It was the Wilson Jack Kramer Pro Staff.

Mac used the Jack Kramer. I used the Advantage, it was all black with fancy pinstripes of gold. Mmmmm.... now that was a great racket, but it was not considered a player's racket. It was a good prestigious club racket.

I wish I had an Advantage now, I want to use it just for memories.

I now have the Prince EXO Rebel after a long, long history of Prince rackets.
