Looks like a great selection of player sticks
Do you like to mixup the types/colors of your overgrips for different play conditions ?
On almost all racquets I use leather and Pros Pro Maxim (0.5mm) as a thin overgrip.

Oh, I change way to often, because I enjoy those classic player sticks. Current favourites in no particular order:
Puma Davis Cup Competition and G. Vilas
Yonex RX37
Adidas CF25-XS mid
Donnay Turbo Ceramic 1
Head Graphite Edge
Völkl C10PT, Tour 10, Tour 10 VE
Fischer Pro Extreme FT
Prince Graphite Supreme

Makes sense, most players are particular for grip specs. I also prefer playing leather unless its too humid and then a tournagrip is my fallback.

Didn't like the 32 as much as the 37, somewhat different feel but can't put my finger on it...

Nice Pumas there.
I have read that they are exceptionally powerful. I remember McEnroe saying that Becker could not have one Wimbledon at 17 without using the power of one of these.
I have a Slazenger V24 that I believe was the frame Vilas used immediately prior to the Puma. The V24 is typically flexible as wooden frames are. I imagine the Puma would have a totally different feel to the V24 so Vilas must have made a big adjustment to it. He did have some late career success with the Puma
I have never hit with one of these puma frames, how do they play?

It appears you obtained the rare prototype... where Head mistakenly stamped their logo and the frame name mirrored
(j/k for the dorks who think I'm serious)

As long as one does not criticize TW's reviews or make an attempts to sell tennis equipment in the "Racquets" section, the probability of getting banned is pretty remote. In another words, avoid making posts that might jeopardize TW's business.

yeah.. i know. but still, plasma is severely missed here. and so is Gymrat. they were along with still active Virginia, Retro, VSBABS and a few others (jimbo) the soul of this section...
