Chang, Agassi, who else? I know many used the POG mid but can't remember who else uses or used the OS. Spadea, I guess...
ATP Players who used the POG OS?

Olivier Rochus still uses it, I think

I believe Olivier uses the Chang Longbody, which is 100sq in... could be wrong though. Nalbandian, Ferrero also used to use this frame.

Roddick used one but not sure if it was the OS or not. Hewitt used a grpahite but guessing that must have been a mid

Pat Rafter used a Prince Graphite mid-size.

Knowles used the 90. Rafter used the Graphite II 95. The Graphite Chang Longbody that Rochus uses is 95. Ferrero, Nalbandian, and Coria used the Graphite Longbody that is 100sq.in. TW sells it.

Seles before she changed to Yonex.
Didn't Kent Carlsson use one, or was that the Boron 110?

Huh, I always assumed he used the midsize.
Good ones! I was going to add Eric Korita, but he may have been a Boron user, like Kent. Can't quite remember.
Pretty sure Martin used the 90...at least when I was around. Could have used the OS prior, but I never saw it.

He used the Prince Pro. It was a oversize aluminum racquet with a plastic throat piece.

Wow. That sounds like the opposite of a players stick...

Back in the lates 70's and early 80's it was a player's racquet.
I find it amazing to see the massive change in technology from what I use now, to what my parents and grandparents used back in their youth...

I remember Doohan pulling his huge Wimbledon upset of Becker with a Pro (the aluminum one Berger used). Did he switch to the Graphite afterward? (If so, do you reckon it gratitude on Prince's part for what that upset did for their racquet sales?)

Also a Prince Magnesium Pro 90! Pioline's were painted white, though, for reasons I've never been able to guess. Someone on these boards acquired a couple of his old ones, IIRC.
Back in the lates 70's and early 80's it was a player's racquet.
And it was never quite the same shape after stringing...
And Jimmy's brother Ricky used it for a while.

The Flying Kiwi! [/COLLINS] Did he use the Woodie, the Graphite, or both?

I think Both. For sure he used the Graphite Oversize in the 1983 Wimbledon Finals.
