Wow. It's been a while since I've posted to this thread.....

Anyway, funny how much a "brand new" Wilson Graphite Force will go for on e-bay....



It sold for $98 plus $9.90 shipping. (I am neither the seller nor buyer)

Not bad for a frame that normally goes for $20 bucks shipped.

It does look stunning.....
Nice PJ and overal nice clean shape due to the lack of PWS....SEXY..!!!(Normally adding two bulges makes something more attractive, not removing them.. )
I could see someone pay about that price because it's in n.o.s. condition and plain dropdead gorgeous.

I wasn't the one that bought it. I can't justify spending $110 on a racket that I'm sure I wouldn't use.

The collector in me would keep it as is.

Although I'd love to read the hang tag.

The dollars that I'm saving are going to my current interest of building lap steel guitars.

This was my first attempt:

<wistful sigh> The Graphite Force was, IIRC, the subject of my earliest forays into the entire TalkTennis forum and the fruit of my earliest adventures in regular thrifting...it's gonna be 2013 in a matter of days...how time flies!

Yeah that's a lotta cash for a DOS graphite force - pretty though... mind you, the DOS Prince for 19.99 would be worth a spin... anyhow, back to the thrift adventures online and at the local stores... cheers to all...

I didn't Perfect match for the 9 condition one I picked up last week for $7 at Goodwill. I strung that up with OSGM 17 @55 and am playing great tennis with it. After a few more outings like that it may become my go-to stick.
