Good find man!

Can you possibly tell us what the cost was (or a range if you'd rather)?

If you can't post pics you can send 'em to me and I'll post them on your behalf

How much are you willing to sell it for?

DownTheLineWith90 · 01-10-2013, 06:33 PM

Interesting how he lowered the weight by 8 grams

Nice pics, thanks!

Awesome find mate, it's a beaut!

Looks like it was strung by Frank Messerer, Roger's personal stringer at that time.

WOW, SW of 353. No wonder he mishits so many balls. My arm would fall off with that racket

lidoazndiabloboi · 01-10-2013, 08:32 PM

it looks like there's plastic wrap on the handle. Did you measure the racket weight with that on? Could that be the reason for the weight difference in his rackets now and the one you have?

How can a thin piece of plastic weigh 8 grams ?

Judging by the Rolex the OP is wearing, it probably cost a pretty penny.

This is from 2003, before his tennis godliness began.

lidoazndiabloboi · 01-10-2013, 09:02 PM

who knows, maybe its double or tripled wrapped
