prostaff was barely alive before wilson wisely said...we can rebuild it... we have the technology, we have the capability to build a bionic 85... better, faster, stronger....the six million dollar 85's!

top to bottom: consumer clone, original dna, albino clone, high performance sweatshop flag-waving clone

gymrat76 · Feb 3, 2009

Also I think Donnay Pro Cynetic One is a PS85 clone. Does anybody know the specs to it?

khw72004 · Feb 3, 2009

This is a Pro Staff Clone

VGP · Feb 3, 2009

whoa. totally.

is that photoshopped?

plasma · Feb 3, 2009

nope that's the real deal, I mean it's fake, it's the real fake trust me....let's see the butcapp, what is the code? lol...and close ups of the pbs...I've got too many racquets with pws clones to post...let's see the pbs up close...unless its their annual fund drive, that crap is annoying,almost worse than commercials...

goldenyama · Feb 4, 2009

A guy at my tennis club here in Japan uses a Toalson mid that looks exactly like a blue ps85, with pws and everything. I will try to get a pic.

khw72004 · Feb 4, 2009

Here are some extra pics. Can't tell where it came from. Chicago, SV, Taiwan, China, Mexico? hahaha

hoodjem · Feb 4, 2009

I didn't know those Donnay's came in different colors. Mine used to be black with red/dark blue/light blue accents.

I think maybe instead of Weight (PWS) its Balance (PBS)

But its anyones guess

It weighs around 12.4-12.5 oz, head size says 90 but closer to 85. Balance of 5-6 pts headlight. I heard it was softer than the PS 6.0 but can't confirm that one.

plasma, TNT-90 comes from the same mold as the PS 6.0 85.

-Samster

plasma · Feb 5, 2009

then I seriously wish I had a Cayman, I'd love to try one out!!!...is it braided graphite as well?...do you have a spec comaprrison? the beam looks chunkier too, or is it the exact mold???? how do they hit compared to the uniquely crisp kevlar prostaff?

khw72004 · Feb 5, 2009

Plasma loves his chunky rackets.

Yes please give us a review of the TNT-90

plasma · Feb 5, 2009

thanks for the link, you got me excited though, I thought someone had a cayman for me to try...here's a less obvious clone:

85 suqare inches and braided graphite seems too close to be a "coincidence", awesome graphics

jimbo333 · Feb 6, 2009

Hi Plasma, you seem to have quite a collection going there !!
Just seen you've got your hands on some 300i's. This is probably my favourite racquet (I have 5 of them), I really like the 200G but this even better, it's chunkier and firmer, a great combination !!!

plasma · Feb 6, 2009

I can't wait, havent tried one yet!!!! yet another 84-85 square inch masterpiece!!! cosmetics make it look like a 200g from an old black and white film...85's were once king, now true players like ourselves are at the mercy of the club tweener market....not an 85 in sight.....I'm stocking up...this is armageddon!!!!!

khw72004 · Feb 12, 2009

So are we just talking about exact clones 80 graphite 20 kevlar, because The JK Staff are like brothers to the PS 85

The JK Staff is fiberglass and graphite

aimr75 · Feb 13, 2009

i have an Emrik ps85 clone, all graphite.. used it when i was a kid.. on the side it says endorsed by Wally Masur

jorel · Feb 13, 2009

wilson sting... the predessosor to the 6.0 85

plasma · Feb 13, 2009

they don't even make 85's anymore, that sting is invaluable to those who really enjoy olds school tennis and not trampoline ball! loaned a mint vincent and a sting 2 to a "friend" who I haven't seen in several years. Guess the friendship and me helpin him get back on his feet was only worth 170 square inches!!!...lol

next time a friend needs an 85, I'll just quoute obie one: "may the force be with you,"

I just started hitting with this racquet a couple weeks ago. It's very solid!

plasma · Feb 14, 2009

now that they don't make 85's anymore, this thing is starting to look better every day, would love to find a sting with pws, the standard sting, and the sting 2, what a name for a racquet??? awesome!!!!

meowmix · Feb 14, 2009

Hey, here's a "real" clone. There's also pics of the graphite matrix in there for comparison's sake.

A real clone?? :shock:

Sorta oxymoronical :wink:

plasma · Feb 16, 2009

has there ever ben a clone to surpass the original like the "Godfather 2" of racquets. The one sequel that topped the original???

ToolShed · Feb 17, 2009

How does the Jack Kramer Prostaff play, the red one, comparative to the 6.0 original? Anyone got any specs on it?

plasma · Feb 17, 2009

Plasma's Brief Review of Kramers:
this Kramer is totally different than the Prostaff. Flexible, soft, sweet and forgiving:

this Kramer is an a$$hole:

How much would a stick like this be worth in minty condition?

rockbox · Jun 30, 2009

I had two kramer staffs in highschool and I hated it. It felt like a PS85 that was used so much that all the fibers wore down. It was too flexible and it never felt sweet like the PS85

Tennis Man · Jun 30, 2009

PK Black Ace is definitely close.

plasma · Jun 30, 2009

hey soy, that 85 Donnay is not worth too much to collectors. Unless your lucky enough to find a sad lonely one who actually desperately looks for European midsizes from this era like they were precious family photos....pls contact me...

That's my (old) stick I sold to Racquetfreak

It's actually a pretty rare beauty.

SOY78 · Jul 1, 2009

Would this be considered a PS85 clone? Donnay Graphite Borg:
