Rubberbands are cheap and highly effective! Buy a bag of 100 for a few bucks and you are good for a long time.
Gotta love the trends that pros like Agassi start for sure!

The rubberband is by far the best for the money...lol.
I do like the "o" dampener, but not worth it when the #64 Rubberbands get the job done, and you never have to worry about them popping out during a match.

So your a prince player then. Could you compare the differences in feel between the NXG and Diablo? Are they midplus or mid?
Nice eyes p0w3r. On the 2nd POG from the left, facing upwards. Looks like a Babolat cap to me.

Yes, it's the Babolat butt cap. I bought the racquet in 4 5/8 gripsize so I have to resize it and the local pro shop didn't have the 3/8 butt cap so I used the Babolat instead.
As far as the difference between diablo and the POG. I use the Diablo when I need more control and use the POG as my main stick. I Like both sticks but the Diablo hurts my arm if I use it for more than 2 hours.

dallasstarsfan: can you please post some more pics of the PK Destiny Ceramic? Do you have any specs? THANKS!
dallasstarsfan

Here you go:
I don't have any specs, but if memory serves, there were three original Destiny racquets: composite, ceramic and graphite. I played with 2 graphite destinys and replaced them with graphite presences. The composition, if I remember correctly, was composite destiny is combo of graphite/fiberglass, ceramic destiny was graphite and ceramic and maybe some fiberglass. The graphite destiny was all graphite.
I have been looking for a graphite destiny for a while but have not run into one.

Holy ... that's a nice looking frame. How thin is the beam? I want one already

It almost has the prestige like look with that red, but it is a lighter color.

The beam of the head looks to be around 25mm, it is very "aero" in cross section and looks like the Pure Drive head. I think some have posted that babolat used/bought the destiny mold from PK. The throat is round in cross-section and tapers to about 17mm.
Weight is a solid 352 grams strung.

I see. I love this candy apple color anyway ... I'm just getting depressed that there are still so many nice looking frames around that I have to buy

THX a lot dallasstarsfan!
I remember :
the white Destiny, the blue, the red (ceramic) and the black (graphite). I had the blue, the red and then a PK Destiny Arche Legend Boron. I guess it was the next gen of PK, but it looked really like the original Destiny lineage.
They all broke up @ 2 & 10. They all were replaced by PK without any question. I switched to a PS 6.1 at the time.
I didn't remember that the Ceramic was so heavy. In France PK was huge back in the 80's and many juniors played with the blue or the red stick. All were 95 in² I think. I got pics of the Destiny Graphite if you like.
BTW I've just bought on a French Auction site a PK Destiny Arche Legend Boron. The same that I used... I hope to receive it next week.
I've already written to PK to get some specs but they haven't reply yet

I have heard they got the molds from PK also. It is odd that there already "aero" shaped beams, but Babolat can market these with the help of a numbe #2 ranked player and make a killing.

Jace,
Please do post those graphite destiny pictures. I remember them being a gray color but not much else.
thanks

is it just me or do price rackets feel like mush?
I think the 03 racquets fel like mush. I hate how hey feel. However I really liked the crisp feel of the 03 Hybrid Hornet. Kind of wierd, but the few less oports really help.

ok, here's my update:
I expect my future home to feature a room with walls of racquets such as this. Sigh.
