To the poster of the above---How very, very sad. Were you trying to be funny or are you just a horse's arse?

Oh, and to Fabfed--thanks for sharing--very nice pick up.

Fabfed, the immortal one...awesome acquisition.

As a suggetion, can you post thumbnail links to the pictures next time.

Those images completely skew the formatting of the thread.

If Fabfed obliges to the offer, I'd like to strip the raquet clean of all its paint and hardware to prove once and for all its a pre-proto type Tour 90, the same model that Sampras used for that very brief period, the legendary PT90 Type II that was never released to the public.

Who else noticed that the spec listing is on the black side? It should be on the red side

Sharp eyes....I was gonna point it out in a comparison pic with the retail stick...I think there was another thread with the P1 pics of Roger's sticks and the red side was also blank...

Fabfed · 09-11-2010, 03:14 PM

Sorry guys, don't think I will post any more pics on this thread, I'm way too disappointed, stayed up all night/early morning and this happens, I'm pretty sure Rafa's gonna win in straights tomorrow over Nole. Will just stash this stick away with the rest and move on, too painful

JoelDali · 09-11-2010, 03:19 PM

I can't believe he lost. This makes me sad for Fed and Fabfed.

JoelDali · 09-11-2010, 03:24 PM

Ooops dupe thread. Was staring at a girl on 5th ave and hit post twice. Wow. Unbelievable. Post lost blackberry spasms.

Man, you've got to be kidding. I am subscribed to this thread, waiting for your analysis and the answer to the most important question of all time - "is Fed's racket close to K90 or BLX90?"

They are #2 and #3 in the world. Fed had an off day. Nole took huge risks in the 5 and pulled the lucky one. It's normal. It happens. It is why they play the matches in the first place instead of just declaring the winner.

Nadal had the same experience last year. He won AO. His main rival won FO and Wimby. A hot young player beat him in the semis, and will beat his main rival in the final. Djokovic is winning the title the same way Del Potro did. )

In any case, Fed will be trying to win the USO next year. He is not retiring any time soon.

you sure it's not because you're as upset as I am? Maybe I should let you strip the racquet clean to prove your theory that it's actually the PT90 Type Two, seeing as it's pointless to keep it in it's current pj, increasingly likely BLX is a one hit wonder unlike the ncode and kfactor pjs

hpaiste · 09-11-2010, 03:44 PM

Wow, did anyone notice the grommets on the bottom? Interesting design....

I'm kiddin', well at least half kiddin' as i am genuinely sad that Fed lost, but ya I will make some comparisons and post pics next week when I have time, I personally share BP's opinion that it's the K90...now I gotta get some sleep

they are just leather power pads

Fabfed, thanks again for posting.. I wonder if the leather will bleed like the k90's youve got. I recall seeing pics of P1 having their own "P1" leather grips on the blx's

sixone90 · 09-11-2010, 06:20 PM

Thanks for the pics Fabfed! I hope you come back and give us your analysis and comparison after you've recovered from your depression after Roger's semis

I am sad about the Fed loss too. But I found this post and I am feeling much better. Thank you for being willing to post more pics and make comparisons, I appreciate it!

Why attack someone else you don't know because they disagree with your misinformed information?

Hello Fabfed

BounceHitBounceHit and I were at the match and were quite devastated to say the least. Djokovic played great but nonethless that does not ease the pain. Thanks for all the posts of your impressive Federer collection. We have deemed you as the #1 ranked ******* in the world. Coming from the two oldest *******s in the world this is only with the utmost sincerity, envy and respect. Since everyone is asking for specs on the Fed frames I am curious to the size of the power pads used (height, length, width).

Thanks in advance
