32 HL. The original. I have another original one 333g 31.3HL unstrung.

I strung up a month ago. Mine is 357g strung with overgrip also with Cream at 42lbs, simply a spin monster with great comfort, however I mostly play 18x20 therefore still prefer my 200g for rock solid feel and control.

I'm still using Max 200g as my main stick, along with original Prestige Pro. I played with full gut, guy/syn or gut/poly hybrid, now I string soft poly at 40 lbs. Yes the feel is not as heavenly good as with gut, but I can swing harder, and you still have everything you need: tons of power and...

Mag 90 is a wonderful racquet for sure, but it's just not the best racquet for my game. I hit flat, S&V and go to net in every possible occasions, Max 200g is the ideal racquet for me. Although Mag 90 is great in every aspects, but personally I think in volley it's not as goog as Max 200G. Max...

Great photo! I have never seen a white one. Thanks a lot for sharing the photo and story. Mine is the ordinary grey one. Several months ago I found it in my closet, didn't with it for quite a long long time. Strung it up, played a few sets with it, then again it came back to it's lonely place...

Yes, babolat head tape does add SW points, it's significant to tell the difference before and after you add the head tape. I always use head tape on Max 200G, not only to protect the head, but to add the swing weight to give a bit extra power to 200G. I will string a two strips this week, and I...

I forgot to test the flex, but as we both know, it should be very low. I have my Max 300i strung two weeks ago, I think maybe I will try to bring my Max 300i with a Max 200G to make a comparison of their flex then make a report here.

I have two of my Max 200Gs tested on a Babolat RDC the other day, one is a two green strips, the other is a green first version with one green and one gold strip. Both with original leather grips, one overgrip, dampener and babolat head tape. Two strips: weight: 393g swingweight: 370...

If you don't want strings move too much, I would suggest to put gut or gut hybrid with syn on Max 200G. I tried many setups, for me gut hybrid has the best result of preventing strings moving. I string mine at 48, with string savers it can last a long time, and strings also don't move too much...

Yes I agree, it's very difficult(if not impossible) to find a substitute of this wonderful racquet. I have two Max 300i, which should be very close to Max 200G, but I somehow just can't be completely satisfied with 300i in comparison to 200G. Due to today's trend of making light and stiff...

Good post, I couldn't agree more. It's a pity nowadays tennis has became so much one-dimensional - baseline power contest - that it's really not that fun to watch anymore. Times really have changed, not only with racquets. You no longer see amazing touch shots of Johnny Mac, supreme volleys of...

I happened to dig out this thing from my closet few days ago and string it up with Prince Synthetic Duraflex at 50lbs. Played with it two days ago, it has a board feel on the upper hoop, but when you hit on the sweetspot...absolutely beautiful crisp feel. The crisp feel is unique, very...

I can't agree more. The matchse I loved most were between S&V and baseliners, like Edberg/Lendl, Navratilova/Graf, Sampras/Agassi...etc. I remember how exciting it was to watch Lendle's amazing backhand passing shots against Edberg, while Edberg tried to come to net at every possible moment to...

Maybe it's due to his 2HBH? Big cat was one of my most favorite players, it was such a pleasure to watch him play. Great footwork, elegance and magic. A couple years ago I played one guy who has same serve motion like Mecirs which I noticed at once. After the play we had a good talk about...

I tried once with poly hybrid with synthetic gut...absolutely hate it, it doesn'e have that feel which I like, but maybe it works with you so it's worth a try. To me after trying many different strings on Max 200G, I settled down with natural gut hybrid because the feel of natural gut is just...

Vladimir Vysotsky - he is a miracle. When you listen to him, you don't hear the voice or the melody, you hear the penetrating heart. Для меня он один из самых незабываемых певцов.

Although he had good kick serve, but overall, yes, his serve was really cheap.

Thanks for input. I don’t have two green strips with square string holes, does it weight the same like the one with round holes? To me my two green strips with round string holes weights and plays a bit closer to wood than all the other versions I have, the weights and the feeling when you just...

As far as I know the first version(Max 200G on the throat) has two graphical models(or maybe more?): one is the earlier that has two green strips, the other has one green and one gold strip. The two green strips model is not only heavier than the other model, but the string holes are round...

I have several versions of Max 200G, and yes, the first version with two green strips is obviously heavier than the other versions, although I never weighed how much they are. I prefer the version with one green, one gold strip and the upper part of the head is not black but kind of green blue...

From my personal experience I think it has more to do with flex of racquets rather than head size. I never had TE or shoulder problems, but one of the reasons that I switched back to Dunlop Max 200G after playing PS85 for many years is that my arms and shoulder do feel much more comfortable with...

I somehow don't agree with the head size sepc on TW, since the head size of Pro Cynetical One is slightly smaller than PS85s, and it doesn't feel like that heavy(375) when you swing. Here are some pics of it with my SV PS85. http://picasaweb.google.com.tw/alexeyyang/DonnayProCynetic1WithSVPS85

Yes, they are very different, especially the headlight and feel upon impact. I used PS95 before PS85 for 1 year in the early 90's, I remember in the beginning when I used PS85 for several times I immediately disliked PS95 for it's unstability, and I liked the feel upon impact of PS85 much more...

I had this racquet when it first came out, great racquet. It's stiff, it produces heavy ball, and it really really serves big! Not a bad racquet for SV, although I still prefer PS85 and Dunlop 200G.

Thanks for you suggestion, Deuce. I tried to fill with silicone, but it didn't work well, the plastics just stuck firmly inside the grommet holes. I tried to use a very thin drill to push the stucked plastics out, but it took some efforts to have one grommet hole done, and it's not a safe...

Hey Deuce. I have a Graphite Edge which I enjoy very much, but now all the grommets are pretty much in rotten pieces. I was glad to hear what you said about the replacement, but I find it difficult to take the original grommets off, because once I touch them, they all turned to pieces and...

I sometimes switch racquets just to have some fun, but if I really want to win a match, then I use the racquet that I'm most used to...my old faithful PS85.

I remember in the late 80's it was everywhere...probably because of Edberg and Evert.

It's a great racquet for S&V. I played with it in the middle of 90's before switched to PS85. I think long and full swing is good with this racquet.
