Rackets range that changed the game earlier on... Wilson Pro Staff, Prince Original Graphite and HEAD Prestige. The oversize racket, however, were designed and pioneered by Howard Head, who long before then has sold off his shares in HEAD and took over Prince.

The earlier one was named Extender Ripstick. you can try adding the word Extender. hope it helps. Honestly, when I read that they are releasing a new racket called Ripstick, I was expecting the mono shaft, too!

Click here for photo. The cross bar does look straight. Looks like it's a paint job to sell the Chang Graphite. I am one of the kids that fell for it.

That means he could be using a pj racket, too. But how do you explain the more aerodynamic frame? Perhaps it could be a custom racket for him.

I am trying to look at the cross bar, too. The getty images shows its pretty straight, but what about the frame? The POG has boxy frame. The photo shows a more rounded one.

But the POG has a boxy frame, too. This looks rounded and more aerodynamic. And if it's POG, it's already around 340 g to350 g. Would he still need to add lead to it? The lead on his racket at 3 and 9 o clock is pretty long.. Like around 10 cm. The cross bar do look pretty straight here.

Did you watch Chang's Energizer advert?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/2ZwX6SL4PAqs78VA8 This is screen grab from 1996 Australia Open, vs Andre. And if you check out the YouTube match above between Sampras and Chang, the screenstill, you can see lead tape on Chang's racket. I don't think he need lead tape if it's the POG.

BTW, I got the above time line from Michael Chang's autobiography.

Go watch Chang matches in 1996,the racket that he was using, it is the Michael Chang Graphite.

Wait... Here is the time line. Around 1992 to 1993, they came out with the idea to add 2 inches to his racket, but to do that, it is more than just adding the inches. It was in Christmas 1993 that they finally had a prototype that is playable by Chang, but instead of 29 inches, they reduce an...

They were showing a lot of classic matches on TV during the lockdown. I turn it on expecting classic matches of players like Sampras, Agassi, Chang, Becker, or even Edberg... perhaps Kafelnikov... at least those from the 90's or early 2000. I can't believe it they are calling Nadal, Federer and...

I think Chang did use the Chang Graphite in cobalt blue color. - Check out 14:03 on the video above. He used the POG since he was 9 or 10 years old, and as someone mentioned before, he choked on the handle. His brother wanted him to hold the racket all the way to the bottom, but Michael did...

It's good to note that when Pete started with double-handed backhand. It was changed to single back hand to suit the fast court. Hence, not surprising that his backhand was his weakest link, but I have to say it is still good. He is one of the best ever! And I'm surprised no one talk about his...

even Beckham back then wore baggy Man Utd and Real Madrid jerseys!

That was the style back then, baggy and loose.

I thought Muster has a more aggressive game and strokes. That said, I prefer Guga because back then I thought he was cool. :P

It's sure looks I pristine condition. I'm wondering if the strings are from factory or re-strung by the previous owner. if its from factory, the missing grommets sure gives us something to think about.. is it meant to be that way?

this model definitely has grommets. so, those at the throat are missing.

I am a fan of Chang, but a little bit disappointed with his evangelism, too. Again, we cannot fault him. That is his personal belief. He is not the only sportsman to thank God. All others do that, but I do not see hatred for the many footballers who do the cross on their shoulders and forehead...
