You are correct that the Prestige Classic 600 is a great frame that is still used on the Tour today. Just ask Rainer Schuettler

But Federer is using K6-1 Tour 90.

It's not a microgel it's paintjob, no good racquets have been made since 1990 blah blah

Well that is not true there are good racquets out there. Have you tried the Volkl PB 10 Mid? I think that is a great racquet. You should give it a try. That might change your mind.

now look at the picture above and compare it to your MG...
Hint, look at the throat area where the Microgel has "gradual" corners whereas the racke in the picture has "sharper", just like the PC600 had.

Does your MG have that plastic collar above the grip, too? Check out the PC600.

I know you're trying to be smart, but it is not working well here...

I can give you a few more clear examples...

Not everything.
Some things definitely are: Novak's Racket, PT57x, Murray's stick, etc... Some things are very obvious...some less...most are speculations...

Not everything is a "Paint Job" on Tour. There are quite a few though.

That is right it is a Prestige Classic 600. My sarcasm did not come through very well.

skyzoo · 08-05-2009, 06:34 PM

Oh sorry broski. haha yeah, i'll agree with you and how this thread went from Fed's new* frame to PJ's and missed sarcasm.

sixone90 · 08-09-2009, 01:29 AM
