The 30 year old racquets (e.g., PS 85, POG, PC600 & Donnay Pro One, etc.) are still better than anything that has come out since.

My point exactly BP! All the stupid tech they 'put' on racquets and you just cant beat the old 'uns!

can you please make it with an adjustable stiffness factor? I'd like to start off all my matches with an iron pole and finish with a rubber chicken.

Also I'd like a 25 x 30 ultra dense string pattern @ 95 lbs. so that I can hit the ball at my opponent's nose the entire game.

Lastly, can you make the handle hold Gatorade so I don't have to walk 10 feet to get a drink?

thanks brah.

Maybe a water tank inside the racket handle, so we can press a button to squirt Gatorade out the butt.

That's right, I said out the butt

Hey, the title says 'In Development' so all suggestions will be taken into consideration and I love the Gatorade idea!

We moved house last year and a lot of boxes went up into the loft (attic, for my American friends). As we're having some new insulation fitted this week I've had to clear the loft out. Joy upon joys when I found the only remaining PS 95 Original I had left!! I did have about 7/8 but over the years they've become cracked or scraped beyond repair. I remember breaking a string and putting it in an old Fischer racquet bag to protect it in the house move. My little face when I found it at the weekend! I'll get it re-strung then it can replace the Bab Pure Storms as my 'GoTo' stick! Wonder if I'll find my old 200g somewehere . . .

I'm calling it the NickJ Super-Duper 3000. It is essentially all the tech that racquet companies over the years have added to their racquets, all combined in one! Imagine how good that stick will be!??!!! It will have biomimietic (? is that a made up word? Who casres it sounds techy) Youtek Ncode Kfactor BLX Micro-liquid-metal-gel, a Vcore with a few Woofers & Rollers thrown in, made from a Hyper-Aero-Pro Braided carbon/titanium/kevlar/unobtainium mix.
I'm sure there's some other tech I've forgotton to include but please remind me what else I can shove in there & I'll give you a credit! What a racquet this is gonna be!

yeah, like these technologies are patented?

[zapvor]

talk tennis at its classic best.

serious though, forget the tech. all you need is to pay some dude that yells out vamos and slides around on clay a couple million euros a year to play with your plastic 12inch frame and the orders will pour in. just make sure TW carries it

Doesn't matter if they're patented or not MacMac, or am I missing your irony? Either way, BreakPoint got my train of thought, the whole reason for my rant/p155-take is that you cant beat the old racquets! NCode, Biomimetic, VCore, they're all just made-up words invented by some idiot in a suit who has no idea about tennis and needs to justify his existence to his bosses by bewildering the racquet buying public. "How about NanoFuse? It's when we fuse the nano things together to form a new stronger/flexible/powerful frame that's better than all we've done before and anything made by our competitors and the best there ever will be (until I think of the next bullsh1t word . . . )

Let's stay on topic here..
Who cares if you're married or not?
We're here to talk about rackets.

[SirGounder]

Make sure it's frameless, I hate hitting the frame. Also make sure the paintjob is 20 kinds of awesome. Dude you're gonna be rich.

Is the grip shape going to be similar to the Head or Wilson shape?
