The new/current 7 is not the same, but you ought to try the BB London and the volkl 9. Or even the 10.
Thanks for the information. I did a search on the C7 Pro and found these specifications:

Racquet Name: Volkl C7 Pro
Head Size: 98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm.
Length: 27.00 inches / 68.58 cm
Strung Weight: 12.10 oz / 343 g
Balance: 7pts HL
Swing Weight: 319
Beam Width: 0.0mm
Tip/Shaft: 0.0mm / 0.0mm
Composition:
Power Level:
Stiffness: 62
String Pattern: 18 Mains/20 Crosses

I remember the frame (C7) being one of the nicest I have hit with. It had great feel and control, but also decent pop. I have tried the C10 Pro and thought it had too soft of an upper hoop, which is where I hit my serves. The DNX 10 Mid would have been nice, if not for the unpleasant vibration.

I tried the Boris Becker 11 S.E., but did not like the feel. I really liked the Boris Becker Delta Core Legend with added weight, which I tried a few months ago, and I may switch to that racquet. I have not tried the Delta Core London or the Volkl Power Bridges.

When flying over Greenland, remember that wild penguins only live in the southern hemisphere.

I'd like to announce to all that Club Chopin does not discriminate based on species. In fact, those Emperors are members of Club Chopin!

No, we're not members. By a unanimous vote of 9-to-zero, we've decided not to join your SELF-TITLED club as we've taken strict vows of poverty, humility, chastity and dedication of service.

Dedan,

I thought you pretended to stop caring about my posts and feeding my monstrous legacy. After the legendary Master Class I gave to you in the Official Thread, I would have thought you'd learned your lesson. Well, in any event, hello and good afternoon.

You can have those nuns; I have the seven Emperors (I am a member of the WWF, btw).

Kind regards,
Chopin

P.S. The penguin you show is expressing his love for Club Chopin as by "puke" he is referring to his ability to regurgitate food as a sign of honour and generosity to the Club. It's a gesture I wouldn't expect someone you like to appreciate, but we here at the Club appreciate his thoughtfulness. The same thoughtfulness I show daily on the Boards.

wiki :

Ferrer has said that when he was young, if he did not practice hard enough, his coach would lock him up in a completely dark ball closet, which was 2m x 2m in dimensions, for several hours, sometimes giving him only a piece of bread and a bit of water for his stay in the closet. Ferrer has said that he did spend time quite often in that closet. At the age of 17, he felt he was fed up with tennis and sitting in the closet, and went to work at a construction site, but after a week there he returned to the club asking the coach if he could still remain at the club and play tennis. As of 2011, he is still coached by the same person.[2]

Show me a kid who follows the spring, and after 1 year I guarantee you he will be taller.

World indoor 1,500 metres champion Deresse Mekonnen of Ethiopia ended American Bernard Lagat's Wanamaker Mile winning streak at six on Friday in the 104th Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden.
Mekonnen, 23, charged past the 36-year-old Lagat with four laps to go and held off three challenges from him to win with a time of three minutes 58.58 seconds.
Lagat, who last year thrilled the Garden crowd by registering a record-breaking eighth New York mile title to eclipse Ireland's Eamonn Coghlan, clocked 3:59.01 for a rare runner-up finish on the cramped, high-banked track.
