Just got an SV95, as well as a reel of my FSOAT(favorite string of all time) Prince Tour XP 17, AKA Beast X, both at a total steal. Will post pics after customization and stringing are done. Expect another tidbit of Racquet Lore to accompany the pics.

Winter is coming, fortunately for the Shah he had gained acceptance and thus a shelter in the cave's of both the Tarheel and Wolfpack. The Shah had everything he needed in these abodes, a work-space with which to forge and repair his blades, as well as arena's built within the shelters where he could hone his skills over the harsh winter season. Tonight the Shah hurried to the Tarheel's cave, for he had come across valuable items in the Markets of Mordor. The first, and perhaps most spectacular procurement was a Blade forged by Shamans who belonged to the various tribes of the Easterlings, a people who for a many ages held allegiance to Sauron. The merchant who sold it to the Shah was very keen to remove the Blade from his stores, as it would no doubt mean trouble if a great sword belonging to Variag's(A confederation of particularly nasty Easterlings) were to be found in his possession).
"That Blade there" The Shah began, "I did not know you dealt with blades forged by Easterlings-"
"Shhhh! keep your voice down. At this point it should be of no surprise to you if you're ever to come across dubious wares in here, honestly, sometimes I suspect that you intend to have me found out!" The Shah laughed while gazing upon the Blade, it sat there in a sheet of what was either Gold, Brass, or Bronze, metals of a color that the Easterlings favored greatly. "You are correct this is a blade forged by the, well, the Variags!" the merchant said while switching to a whisper to finish what he was saying.
"Variags? The last I heard of them they were wiped out alongside the Wainrider's during the Battle of Pelennor Fields. What is one of their Swords doing here?" The Shah asked. The merchant looked sternly at the Shah.
"That blade, It belonged to Khamûl, the ruler of the Lands of Rhûn and one of the eventual Ringwraiths. Its no light matter for this sword to be here, it belonged to a Lord of the Nazgûl, even if he only held that position for a short time."
"Then for the sake of your health, it should be no light matter selling it to me".
"You cannot be serious! It is unheard of for a mortal to wield a blade belonging to a Ringwraith!"
"Do you wish to be rid of this or not? You wouldn't me leaving here and express my frustrations over not getting this blade at the local pub would you?"
"Say no more" started the Merchant signalling the Shah to stop talking. The Shah walked up to the counter with the Blade and its gold(or a similarly colored metal) embroidery and placed $90(Using USD in order to limit confusion in what is already a story containing content from LOTR) on the counter. "You know you're quite the crude customer for taking advantage of my disposition. Nonetheless, I am glad that I could get this off my hands quickly, truth be told I would have let it go for a lot less".
"Is that so?" The Shah asked as he looked at the merchant, and then around the shop.
"Oh dear..." said the merchant, It appears I have just as much of a problem with running my mouth as you do. The Shah walked about the store looking for other items that could possibly be of use to him. Out of the corner of the Shah's eyes, he spotted green ropes. "Ah yes, enchanted ropes specially designed to restrain Textralagoth by the Elves, Those I can sell to you fo-"
"$60" interrupted the Shah.
"Are you mad?" The merchant exclaimed.
"You're a bit loud for someone with a blade of the Nazgûl in their possession." The Shah said.
"... Deal!" The merchant said as he angrily snatched the money from the counter. "Oh, and if you're still looking to take advantage of me, TAKE THIS TOO!"
The Shah left the markets that day with a powerful new tools in tow, as well as a few gifts the merchant graciously threw at him in a fit of rage.

Actually its a completely different racquet. you cannot compare.
Greatest quote ever on your signature
Seems to be a completely different layup compared to the stock one given the changed stiffness. Would be very interesting to get the hands on one of these things.

Lovely (part of your) collection! Do you still play with the Graphtech DB? The Graphtech, i.e., the 90, was my first adult racquet.

Only part of ??!! - How dare you sir!
Not playing the graphtech unf, it's in poor condition and I don't really gel with oversize frames since many years back, they just feel too imprecise (or i'm just too posh and it's all in my head
I do play the precision 90 now and then and it's a really nice and crisp feeling frame w very precise (pun intended) response yet with no hint of harshness!Alright - that's a nice first racquet! I think most of us racquet geeks have a soft spot for the first real frame one got, my first full size frame was the wilson pro select, but I also have a special relationship w the graphtech..
When i was a young junior I found a broken Graphtech DB in the bin at my local club after playing doubles w some friends (it was broken completey off just above the handle) and took it home. I ran around bouncing balls at home constantly for weeks and was just amazed by how plush,fat and powerful it felt compared to my Wilson Pro Select. I begged and begged my parents in order to get one but never did and when one of my best friends showed up with one a month later I was soo jealous - so unfair! A few years later i finally got the CTS Precision 110 and loved that stick to death. The majority of the CTS line of racquets were superb imo.
