Loving the chalet vibe of the Swiss Inn in the least Swiss surroundings possible! Not an incline to be seen!
Wilson n code six one tour 90. Once the minging collection of overgrips were peeled off, the original leather grip was in a decent condition. It’s 16x19 but it doesn’t have that stencilled on the throat like others I’ve seen. Filthy great big crack up at 1 o clock and the hoop has some serious weathering on it though. Still, at £8 it's a good deal and potentially still playable.
I had an idle look around the place across the road, which turned up a couple of Slazenger protoges but nothing of real interest until I noticed a dark blue tournagrip behind some ironing boards...
Head graphene radical mp. Pricey for a charity shop at £25 but still quite the steal. Or so I thought until I noticed the previous owner had inflicted not one but two death cracks at 5 and 10. At least he was symmetrical, I suppose...
I was going to leave it but then noticed something on the throat
and then I took a little look at what lay underneath the bumper
Thoughtfully I weighed the racket in my hand and it was clearly significantly heavier than its listed 295g (I've since had a quick look under the buttcap and it is chock full of silicon - it comes in at a punchy 355g all in). Strung with big banger "alu power"?
So I duly snapped it up. I know this question has been asked hundreds of times before but how can I find out more about this racket? The sticker suggests pro stock (G104501), as do the lead and silicon. The thin yoke is consistent with photos I've seen of other graphene radicals so I'm not sure this is just a paintjob of another racket (crushing my dreams of a PT57A!).
