The paint is probably the closest thing to the retail pro one

James Blake's and Donald Young's racquets.

Blake's racquet has dual core construction and is very stiff (68-69RA). Stock weight is 310g, but it doesn't play well until leading up to 350g. The retail Pro One 18x20 plays much easier at lower weight.

Young's racquet has a softer feel compared to Babolat Pure Drive 2012, but not as comfortable as Donnay Formula 100.

No, not all of them. There are a few woods and metals that I haven't played with. Also I have some unstrung NOS, that I obviously haven't played either. Apart from that there may have been a few others that have gone under the radar. A guesstimate would be that I have hit with at least 250 of my racquets.

My favorite? That's a very hard question, and I don't think I could pick just one. So here's my top-12, in no particular order:

Rossignol FGC
Puma Davis Cup (From the Super mold)
Fischer Vacuum Elliptic Pro
Head PT630
Head PC600
Head Radical Tour 630 ( 1998 )
Yonex Super-RD Tour 90
Yonex RD-7
Donnay Pro Ceramic
Donnay Pro International
Dunlop Max400i
Völkl C10 Comp Mid

Dino, what's your regular racquet? The one you play with the most nowadays.

I played some 30 matches in 2012. In about half of those, I guess, I played with the Head Radical Tour 630 ( 1998 ).

I don't think it's any larger than the previous versions' throats. I think it's also normal of the blade to have a bit of a longer throat, but it causes the handle to be shorter which is annoying at first for a 2HBackhand.

Wilson claims it's their 15 pack, but it's probably mopre comparable to a 9 pack or a 12 pack. I really like this bag, it's a great size- not too big but no too small. Like the previous version of this bag, it is more narrow on the top and then widens at the bottom, which looks sharp. It has moisture and temp guard, and also 4 accessory pockets. On top of it all, the color scheme is really classy. Overall really happy with it.

I got another set of twins! Will be stringing them up probably in a month or so to prep for the spring season.

Heavy. They're both 320 grams unstrung with the plastic wrap still on.

My RDS 003's are both 321 grams strung with overgrip and dampener. RDiS 100 MP are both 342 grams strung with overgrip and dampener.

Definitely a great looking bag, I just bought a much needed replacement and got the 9 racquet one. You say the 15 is more like 12? Hopefully that doesn't mean the 9 is actually a 7, that's a little too small...
