The PS Tour 90 and the K Factor.

I don't think the PS 85 should be counted; it's associated with a previous generation. I also love the HPS paintjobs (and would love to see those back), but they're all from the pre-GS days, and I'd say the paintjobs that are really associated with him only start from the PS Tour 90 onwards. So I left those out in consideration.
Also, I think due to simple, classic design and the flag colours, the Ncode is great, and is the one that really defines Federer par excellence.
That said, I really like and prefer the Kfactor and the PS Tour paintjob myself. It would probably be the PS Tour if only that one had been available with a short handle to the public

I really like the cosmetics of the K Factor. Simple yet stylish. Just like the guy who uses it!

What makes you think they don't? Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean other people don't.

Just messing with you.

The K90 by a country mile. Feels great to play with and looks so cool, I have 4 of them and wouldn't play with anything else. Shame that they are out of production now as I'd like to get a couple more since 2 of the 4 I have are scuffed to death now.

I had the N90 but only played with them for 2 months, felt like playing with a plank of wood from the back of the court and gave me a sore arm as the weight across the racket didn't feel equally distributed.

K90 rulez!

Swiss flag - n90, K90
The duel - PS6.0 85
1st slam win - PST90

But for rackets that are closest to what one can buy retail the PS6.0 and the K90 should top this list.

definitely the PS TOUR 90. looks sharp.

the BLX stuff is pretty hideous. Looks like circus racquets. That being said the BLX surge model definitely has the best application of the BLX themes. Dunlop probably has the best design update of all brands right now. There previous ones were either dull or awkward and dull.

Really? "Simple"? Are you serious? The K90 looks like a complex Jackson Pollock painting to me. Anything but "simple". An example of a "simple" paintjob would be the PS 6.0 85.

I believe the following is accurate:

-PS 6.0 85: 0 slams
-HPS 6.1 Silver W PJ: 0 slams
-HPS 6.0 Yellow W PJ: 0 slams
-PS Tour 90 PJ: 2 Slams (03 Wimbly; 04 Oz)
-N90 PJ: 7 Slams (06 Oz; 04-06 Wimbly; 04-06 USO)
-K90 PJ: 6 Slams (07 Oz; 07-08 USO; 09 FR; 07 Wimbly; 09 Wimbly + bonus 08 Olympic Gold in dubs!)
-BLX 90 PJ: 1 Slam (10 Oz)

While making sure my info is accurate, I also went ahead and updated that chart of Grand Slam PJs that was initiated in this thread (credit to martini1 for starting the discussion): http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=384890

Here's the chart:



I'm curious what 2012 behold. A new PJ or the same old BLX90? We shall see.
