Sorry, still have it and don't want to sell. I'm a collector myself

Reading his book 500 years of Tennis started my interest in the history of our sport. Now i have an extensive library with all kinds of books on tennis, and Clericis book still has his place. I guess it‘s time to read it once more. RIP Signore Clerici

Dunlop NT Tour 18x20, also 16x19 , still on the Dunlop Website. Europe only frame, afaik on some of my frames, if i change the grip, it actually says pt 924-3

Hi Richard, thanks for answering. I´ll keep that in mind and have added your GRSA website to the list of my favorites Best, Willy

Hi Richard, is this new association meant as competition to ERSA ? I ‘m a Master Pro Stringer with ERSA, in training for my Pro Tour 1 certificate. Does it make sense to become a member at GRSA as well? Thanks, Willy

Will do, thanks

In the end all this pro stock business doesn‘t matter to me;) what matters is that i found a racquet that plays like an old-school frame. For me it´s like an extension of my arm. You got me thinking about installing leather grips though

you can spend an hour reading through old threads here on TW talking about it. Obviously the mold was used by players like Mauresmo, Blake or Haas amongst others. according to members who seem to have that knowledge.

I own 8 of the 18x20´s . they are hard to find here in Europe, nobody´s selling;) the NT line is being discontinued by Dunlop, as it doesn´t fit into the Srixon product line. Couldn´t agree more with Hunky Punky´s description of the frame. Old school, very soft(RA58). I can play it with full...

Gerne, hat mir gestern keine Ruhe mehr gelassen. why don‘t you post pictures of your collection? There are many Muster fans here

I think it‘s probably a Special Edition . If you google „Thomas Muster Cambio LeRoy“ you will find an old advertisement that shows Muster playing with it , imho

Lately i ´ ve been watching old WTT matches on youtube. Great fun, imo, and good quality videos. And you can watch some players that are not that well-known. I was impressed by Anne Smith

good question. i don´t remember seeing the one about the Rok. i don´t think it´s on the internet today.

this is a quote from TW playtest from many years ago: "Granville, ever the connoisseur, did not find the lack of power in the ROK a problem, saying, "yes, there is a slight drop in power, but the result is a racquet where you can hit out and enjoy good depth. Passing shots are a real treat, as...

From time to time. I still enjoy them, might string one tomorrrow:)

Thank you for this wonderful post. You´ve summarized better, far more complete and with the insight of a historian what i believe to be true.

Happy New Year, Ivan, and of course to everybody else here Ivan, i very much appreciate the fact, that you published your findings here and inevitably opened yourself to the expected critique. I will contribute my opinion if and when i have something worthwile to say. In the meantime i remain...

K-swiss is a great option

this is very sad news. for anybody who hasn´t read his books yet, they are highly recommended. i´ve just ordered his last book "i´ll take the sunny side" and looking forward to reading it.

beautieful racquet ;) the logo and shape of the racquet suggest around 1900. i own a few Slazengers from that era but not this one. couldn´t find it in Küblers book of Tennis racquets either could you post a pic of the buttcap?

you can find them from time to time. i have about 6 of them that are still in playing condition:) played my last senior tournament with it in 2017 just for the fun of it. truth be told, i´m a bit of a racquetaholic myself. i own a couple hundred racquets and have played with many of them. i...

it´s a Wimbledon Graphite. he and Joakim Nystrom played with it in the 80´s. i ran out of rackets after all that time. Pernfors played with Snauwaert afterwards. His own Pernfors Autograph model and also the ATP model

i´ve played with too many great racquets over the last 40+ years. The above one has to be my number one choice as i´ve played with it from 1987 till 2001.

I ´ ve been playing senior tourneys all over europe the past few years. You meet interesting people,play sports and enjoy the local sights and beverages. People get injured regularly but seldom die on the courts;)

The one thing i noticed particularly, is that they start their training at age 3. while it is essential to start very young, i wonder whether their is any statistic about at what age the current generation of pros started their training. In other words, is it too late to start at age 5 or 6?

Hi Coolio, Interesting, how old are the kids in your performance group? Willy

Nice collection...i ´ve been playing with the bio300 tour for a number of years. I could use a number of racket stands where did you acquire yours?

Did Masur play with PK? I seems to remember him using Fischer and Emrik racquets

Very impressive pics, thank you
