6.1 series stopped being awesome for me after the Hyperstaff line. Ncode was okay, but after that it all went downhill for me! :razz:
Prestiges are always nice for me though. I don't like the FXP series at all, but even the LM has it's charm with the stiffer response.

All "O" port rackets
Because they are awsome!Exactly what I was thinking. I'm surprised they have stuck around as long as they have :0
I was curious to know what racquet iterations people think have declined or are just not nearly as good as before? If they have declined then what release or generation did this happen?
Ex: At what point did the 6.1 series, Prestige etc decline if at all? nCode? Ti?

What is "jumped the shark" ???
(face palm, and eye roll). Even if I wrote that, I could identify that there would be no way anyone could come up with an idiomatic expression to make that sensible.
You mean "jumped the mark" And I know that wasn't a typo because "m" and "s" are way too far away on the keyboard I)

For you what made the HPS awesome and the nCdode not so much?

LM is garbage. It has no charm or redeeming qualities.
We have a Turbo Shark MP and O3 Hybrid Shark MP. They play very similar, with Turbo having a bit more "raw" feeling. My Mrs likes the Turbo better, me the Hybrid. It's the matter of taste, I guess...Well, still have a Shark MP from 2006.
The year after suddenly big holes jumped in it, and it wasn't for the better.
The volkl 10 series. C10 Pro was/is a great frame. Tour 10 MidPlus Gen 1 is where it peaked. The Gen 2 and V-engine werent as good (but still not bad). DNX 10 and Pb10 were worse and the current Organix 10 sucks in my opinion. They should just re-release the T10Gen1 MP
What's wrong with O-port rackets? I assume you're talking about the Prince line of EXO3 rackets. Personally, I like these rackets, especially the EXO3 Red 5. It has improved my game immensely. What is the specific objection?
Haha! To each their own of course. IMO LM totally destroys FXP though. LM feels a bit harsher with more feedback. Obviously people who like the buttery feel of the prestige usually dont like the LM. I think it plays Okay though. That being said I much prefer the MG to LM.

FXP was garbage too..........:evil:
I think marketing is to blame for its demise.... Since when has a pro played with a 6.2?If I had to pick a racket that really jumped the shark it would hands down have to be Wilson's Hammer 6.2, the skunk These used to be everywhere (one of the best selling rackets of the 90's). Really popular racket, really versatile in the sense that it was good from all areas of the court and could be effectively wielded from intermediate players up to pro level players. There were a lot of descendants/variants - hypercarbon, stretch, power holes, not sure if there was a rollers version. The nSix-Two still was decent, there was a [k]Six-Two that I rarely saw anywhere, and I think the once-proud line went extinct after that.

I can only speak to the 6.1 line. Some generations are better than others, but overall, I don't think they've dropped off. I haven't found a single one of them to be "unusable."

Because they are awsome!
They are the least gimmicy of all so called "technologies" that marketing machine is bombarding us with... They actually are real."O" ports are a ridiculous looking gimmick. Some of them play great despite the ports but even then they cause stringing to be slightly more complicated for no reason.
