Roger's racquet... Pete's racquet... The racquets I use are MY racquets ! I don't buy or choose sticks because someone uses them, or someone else will think I am cool because I use them ! And... what if I did ? People may have idols. It's a human thing ! When we were kids, we watched our...

i just received a used (of course) XRC today, that I got as a donnation along a nice Wilson Jack Kramer Autograph. The XRC does show some long fracture-like faults along the shaft...but on pretty uncommon places. Hitting hard on my hand, does not show any weird sound known to cracked sticks...

So, does anyone knows this racquet ? how it plays... balance, weight... is it good to have ? IT IS NOT THE STING CERAMIC. It's also white, no crossbar, and it's name is.. WILSON CERAMIC HB95. Thanks in advance for any input !

I have had this problem before. An older Prince frame that felt to HH and, even after adding lots of coins (!!) on the buttcap, and the balance becoming way HANDLE HEAVY, the stick still played wierd, head heavy, no matter what. Note that, the touch of this still was wonderful...but the swing...

it may vary from frame to frame.. but usually, if you add some weight to the handle, it will become more HL balance, heavier, thus more arm friendly. But do not do it without careful weighing and trying. Good Luck !

I have not played the SV yet. I do have an Early Chinese white butt that is pretty nice. Now, I'd be able to tell it's difference to the newer ones or to the SVs, I can't answer that. Haven't compared. BUT, I do have two POGs OS. One is a first gen 1979 grommetless and bumperless. The other one...

sorry.. pics disapeared.. here they are again.

seems like a Prince Graphite Comp.. that mixes graphite with fiberglass. It's supposed to be softer than a POG due to composition and lack of a crossbar. Haven't played it, but here it's a nice stick ! Post your opinion on it for us !

EDITING : my 80's PRINCE DB90 GraphTech. not 90's.

if the new sticks felt as good as the classic ones, I sure would ! I have tried a few of the new ones... nBlades and company, and NOTHING felt TO ME as good as my early china Wilson PS85, my 90's Prince DB90 and my 70's POG !!

thanks for the input SHOJUN, but what worries me most is not that paint chip, but the very soft jagged line that goes from it, to the other small chip on the left... although I don't feel NOTHING wrong with the racquet feel and sound at all. In fact, I LOVE how it plays ! thanks again for any...

thanks shojun and lanevo for your posts. If not a hassle, please see my other thread and give your opinions ! http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=159816 thanks again !

vk, which one do you mean ? Note I swaped them in order to show both sides of the inside the throat... do you mean you would never sell the one WITH or WITHOUT the "6.0" after the ProStaff ?? thanks

for some reason, pics disapeared... here they are again.

Thanks KIRBSTER, TENNISMASTER and MCHANG for sharing your knowledge and time. And thanks in advance for the next friends that will stop by, too.

Another CRACK or PAINT thread... I bought this used PRINCE GRAPHTECH DB90, and it came with these two paint chips, and a very very soft thread between them. Note that, the thing DOES NOT go around the frame. I only goes where pictured, barely from one chip to the other. Very very invisible...

hello Marius, I see you are pretty knowledgeable arm health issues. But sometimes it can indeed be pretty hard to tell the difference between a structural crack and a paint blemish. I have to racquets that I love that have some kind of fault... one is a POG OS that has to straight scratches...

hello Paco ! if still available, please send pics and price to my email. Also, any crack or hairline fault anywhere ? thanks in advance, Enrico enrico####@rio.com.br (delete the #### squares !)

hello GM !! thanks for the reply. In fact, I am just getting back to tennis playing. I've played in many phases of my life.. and now, at 34 I have never been this excited about it. I am a bit vintage and nostalgic, so I am "collecting" a few classics and unknown classics. Recently got a...

Thanks in advance for any input on this one here !! Has anyone played or heard about it ? Thanks again.

Does anyone know anything about this frame ? looks a bit larger than a Prince GraphTech DB90. About the size of a Wilson 95. Wider looking beam. Graphics and Fonts very close to the GraphTech also. Haven't played with it yet. It's in great shape. Looks pretty classy IMO. I'm into the...

yes, I agree... it's not the largest sweetspot in the world... but you know... it's funny how some racquets with much bigger headsize, don't have their sweetspot proportionally larger. I am starting to play with a PRINCE GRAPHTECH DB90 (93in head), and I must say that, it's sweetspot is not...

I haven't tried it yet, because I am resting my arm after a bit of non stop stress, non stop three week hiting after a long time ! But I am really dying to go ! but, my first impression really is, although the static weight is a bit high, the racquet is so head light, that it does not feel...

haven't yet, KSM... just ordered a mini-scale, but hasn't come in yet... will let you know asap. Regards !

well, thanks for all the replies so far ! I did let one go. But, it was arranged to be that way... when I found both for sale, I called up a friend and asked if he would buy them together with me. It wouldn't be any elegant to decide to keep them both afterwards. He is a great friend, and I...

hello Michael Chang ! No, I have not used neither one. I just bought them. Therefor I don't know the difference. Actually, thats the reason for the thread ! One of them is going to a friend. We bought'em together. I do not need both now.. So I have to decide which to keep. I am inclined...

Hello Friends, I just got this ProStaff for 10 bucks... but I am pretty sure this is a crack. At first I thought it was just paint blemish... but when I hit my hand with the stick, right at the sweetspot, I hear a "ziiing" sound. Something like a small weird resonance. Could this noise be...
