To think that a few years ago they were going for only $70 brand new at big box retailers like Sports Authority. Wow!! I should have stocked up back then.

Better than collecting interest in the bank.

Those Ps 6.0 95 also becoming rare, and the price will also go up

Darn!!! Looks like I blew it again. I DID in fact stock up on the PS 6.0 95's but I've already sold 9 out of the 10 that I had at pretty low prices, much lower than the $130 for a new one. Oh well.

I guess some people's other hobby beside playing tennis is racquets flipping and racquets testing/demoing?

Or it's stocking up on their favorite racquet when it's discontinued so that they can be assured to have enough to last them a long time. I've always regretted not stocking up on the Dunlop Max200G when they were discontinued back in 1992.

But, of course, people also move on to another racquet so then have all these other racquets they longer use so can get rid of to finance the acquisition of the next racquet.

BTW, some people here have 10-20 frames of the same model. Some even have 5-10 frames each of 20 different models.

Thanks for the invitation, tandayu!

I'm also an ex-PT280 owner, so does that qualify me to come here once in a while?

I would like to hear your experiences with PT280. Expecially you have significant exposure with Ps6.0 95 and max 200g etc. Priceless....

Found some old Tennis mag article talking about how Muster was using the PT despite the Kneissl paintjob. I'll scan it and upload in the next couple of days (after Christmas). I also found an old series of pics of him swinging the forehand and backhand -cool stuff. Happy Holidays to all you PT players!

I have never hit with a racquet that felt better than PT280

It is literally the most comfortable frame ever

Our friend from the auction site is back. That guy kills me

I guess Santa brought him some more wishful thinking this year

Hey all,
This is my first post on TW, but I have always been interested in the PT 630. I am an avid racket collector and want to happily inform that i own two PT 630's. Both new. I was rather happy with the find actually. One with full CAP and the other with the made in Austria label on the throat.

tarie · 12-31-2007, 06:17 AM

Would you buy the ProTour nowadays only for collection or is it still a good frame for the way of playing of today?

Both or either, Get it if you find a good one, if you do not like it, easy to sell
