Dino, How many sticks do you have? I have 14 and thought I was a racquet junkie lol. You clearly have me beat!

I love testing frames and different strings and tinkering. It's fun.

You can totally trust your eyes. I used to stencil my racquets like that for a little while many years ago...

I have like 330 racquets. I realize that's quite a few, but my aim has never been to get as many as possible, but to enjoy trying different racquets out. Especially graphites from the 80s and 90s. Also, I've got these frames over a period of 15 years, so that's only about two per month on the average.

There are people on here who've got thousands, so they've clearly got me beat...

The Biomimetic 300 Tour is one of the best looking frames I've seen in a while.

Have you hit with all of them? If you had to chose your favorite which one would it be?

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.
