Dino,
Thanks for more updates. You must be having a tons of racquets by now.
Head Prestige 600 (Grey+Lime) 350/12.35/60/307
Head Prestige Classic 355/12.52/60/331
Head Prestige Tour 660 349/12.31/56/331
That is great although it is old thread
One 1998 Head Radical Tour 630 is now Capped and shrink sleeved. Below are the stats before and after.
Before: 335/11.82/59/316/32.25
After: 361/12.73/59/319/30.5
Thanks Dino
Thanks Dino, and keep up good work
Surprisingly, it only affects the swing weight slightly. Thanks.
Dino, thanks for all the information about these racquets.
What was the condition of the Rossignol F200 (Red) (346/12.21/38/358/34.75)? Was the F200 really that flexible when new?
Also, have you ever tested the Fischer Pro Classic 98?
The F200 must have been made with a very high percentage of fiberglass. I really like racquets with fiberglass, which gives a nice flex and cushioning to racquets. I have never played with the F200, but the Adidas GTX Pro-T Ivan Lendl was a great frame from the same era.The red F200 is in a very good used condition. I assume it was that flexible when new.

Many Völkls, including the C7 pro (I believe) had some fiberglass in the early-to-mid 1990s. I moved away from fiberglass to the Fischer Pro Classic 98 and the VT Pro 98 , and varying Fischer new generations of the VT Pro 98. I have a large stash of old Fischer racquets in varying condition. I have yet to find a current racquet that I like as much as my Fischers.

Thanks for all the information, Dino. I think a little fiberglass would benefit some modern frames.Yes, screw kevlar, fiberglass is the way to go. :twisted:
If I remember correctly, even newer Völkls than that had fiberglass in them. I also must admit that I share your feelings regarding Fischer. Great sticks!

Dino what was the specs of the Vantage racquet you have measured?
thank a lot for all this data btw
I was surprise to see that the stiffness of Graphite Edge is so low (44). Somebody said it is between 55 and 60, and i felt it so.
On a serious note, I think I now have more than one Graphite Edge, so I can try and get another reading and multiple racquets.
Dino, thank you very much for all the information. Many times check your RDC-log, it's very helpful
Have you added Rossignol F280 Graphite to your F-series collection?
I cant believe that Donnay Pro One MP has such a high stiffness. I got a longbody version (graphite/kevlar), and it feels very soft, like PT630.
Hey Dino, I own a Prince Graphite Pro Series 110 (all black with white strip, no cross bar in throat), and was looking for the flex. Your log says 49, which seems great, but the other specs don't seem to match with my racquet... Mine weights 380g without overgrip, and the balance is 32cm (about 9 pts headlight).
Thanks, Goly, glad you like it! Nope, no F280 yet...

I can clearly remember, when that racquet was new, World Tennis (USA) magazine tested it and found that it was the stiffest racquet they'd ever measured. Then, a couple years later, Wilson introduced the Kuebler Resonanz / Profile and the widebody era with a whole new level of stiffness began... :neutral:Three things really stood out in this measuring session:
1) The stiffness of the Adidas GTX Mid (71)

Since you revived Dino's racket spec's thread I will also make a request, how about some woody additions @Dino LagaffeGot pictures of the TR25?
sent from my E5
I have one! Haven't heard from Dino in several years though... I don't think he had one the time I was there to take a look at his collection. My stringer has an RDC but I don't know if I can borrow it to measure it.Hi Dino. by any chance you got a Yamaha ex110 shiny and colourful frame hanging around your basement for you to measure? thx
