I have a chance at getting one around $40.00. Do you think I should?

Thats what I was thinking just to hang on my wall. Maybe start a tennis-man collection
I have one. If you string, it will definitely be a challenge. It's NOT illegal, although I'm not sure it shouldn't be. If it's in good shape, $40 is a good price.
it's illegal....why bothering....
just for fun????.... you should look for a pc600 instead
My collection already exist. No need to start a new one but I will take the blackburne double strung.
skater, get one for me, would you? I'll pay $50 for it .
Once the guy at my club calls me back I'll let you know. But of course I'm going to have to take a few swings with it
Steve, I may be completely wrong on this, but I could of sworn that I was once told that the Blackburne was only legal if both sides were strung the same. This was back in my days as an official, but I remeber it coming up.
How did you string it?
-T.J.
any review on these racquet?
thanks, how about the 107???????
Wow. You totally bought their marketing. The ball does not stay longer on the strings. It stays on the strings just as long as any racket. Remember, you're only really hitting with one stringbed, so all these, "awesome server/serve returner's dreams" stuffs can easily be emulated in another racket. Just saying.
Just worried that people may not accept it as legal. Has anybody had any problems with this? Even if you show them the USTA letter, will the average guy you play with believe you?
Your an idiot. Why do you speak without knowing?
You are missing the point. There is no edge to the racquet as there is with a conventional racquet. In other words its like hitting with a ping pong paddle. The ball never comes into contact with the frame. The surface of the racquet is 100% flat just like in ping pong. Get it? maybe a visualization may help to illustrate? Check it out here:

Redflea/ RedKat/ James Martin....its time that you were "Outed". You guys are the same person. Both nics were created in Aug of 2004 and both nics begin with "red".
Too many coincidences dude. Its obvious you are just trying to start a fight...next time be a little smarter.
The ball never comes into contact with the frame.
BS. Theirs demonstration is also BS. Normally, a ball makes very short contact with the sweet spot. It never travels along the strings up to the frame as show on in their animation Therefore, frame width does not play any role in the dwell time. If it does hit the frame, such a mis-hit will not be saved by any possible or impossible racket.
Actually, the ball does move vertically up - but it is just a few mm.
You mean down? OK, a few mm do not contradict to what I said anyway

I am a 3.5 to 4.0 player and have been happy with how the rackets have helped my tennis elbow.
What is it exactly, double strings close together, like a 12-string guitar? What was the idea, just more power? Thanks.It's NOT illegal, although I'm not sure it shouldn't be.
Sorry...but your conspiracy theory is wrong on both counts...
- No idea who the other "reds" are
- Not starting fights, just hoping to generate some improved behavior here. Not my job, but sometimes I just can't resist
No "conspiracy theory". here are the facts and as the Judge and the Jury I have made my decision based on the following facts:
1. Both Red Flea and Red Kat were created at almost the exact same time.
2. "Red Flea" & "Red Kat" have responded to resurrect this long dead post at almost exactly the same time.
3. Both nics coincidentally have the word "Red" in them.
4. Both nics also are followed by an animal. In one case its a "Flea" in the other case its a "Kat".
Conclusion: Guilty.
I'm not sure how the racket helps with tennis elbow if it's only a little more than 10 oz and is head heavy. I thought a head light and heavier racket (12 oz or so) is the key. The only TE benefit the Blackburne website touts is when you hit the ball on the frame.
I'm also curious why they still have their website with the order page if itwasjustout said he bought their last 10. Are they out of business now?
Red Flea/Red Kat,
I have stated the uncontroverted facts.
Red Flea & Red Kat are in fact one and the same. I have made my decision based on the following facts:
1. Both "Red Flea" and "Red Kat" were created at almost the exact same time.
2. "Red Flea" & "Red Kat" have responded to resurrect this long dead post at almost exactly the same time.
3. Both tags start with the exact same word: "RED".
4. The second word in both tags are almost exactly the same as they are both animals : "Flea" & "Kat" respectively.
VERDICT: GUILTY. Red Flea & Red Kat are one and the same. Nice try!
hmm what about the "non-existent" mis-hits? I'm curious about this.
