    Did McEnroe play the "Max 200G" or "Max 200G Pro" or both?

    I also heard the same thing as Virginia did. A while back, I bought some new Max200Gs from someone who said that he had worked at the Dunlop factory in the UK before they were shut down. I picked his brain and he said the IMF's quality control was difficult to manage. So the 'best' ones were...

    Dunlop Max 200G Tennis Bag

    I am a big fan of the Max 200G but was unaware that they made a tennis bag for the racquet. Is the bag pictured below just a one off? Anyone have any information? Thanks.

    Racket Obsessions of the Pros: Wall Street Journal Asia

    Hello everyone, Has anyone read this article in the Wall Street Journal Asia about pros' 'obsession' with rackets? Most of the information in the article is already well known, but I was surprised to read that Roman Prokes fooled Sergi Bruguera into thinking that he had modified his racket when...

    Anyone ever walk into a store and see brand new, discontinued items dominating?

    I had somewhat of a similar experience in Taiwan in the mid 90s. Was passing by a sports store that had seen better days when I noticed that there was a door sticker of McEnroe sponsoring the Max 200g. So I decided to walk in and look through the remaining racquets on the wall. Way in the back...

    I, too, was curious as to why that racquet was going for so much. Found this interesting article about Peck and Snyder. http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/peck-and-snyder-the-company/

    Head Prestige Tour 300

    So it's just the cosmetics and there is no difference in playability from the Prestige Tour 600, right? Thanks for the comments.

    Head Prestige Tour 300

    Sorry folks. Just did a search and realized that the Prestige Tour 300 has been mentioned here and there. But, I couldn't find any comments as to how it plays compared to other Prestiges. In addition, how much do you think this racquet is going for these days?

    Dunlop 200G given to Craig Ferguson from Will Ferrell

    When I first saw Ferrell come out with that gift, I was had a feeling it would be a tennis racquet. And when Ferguson opened it and it was the 200G (sorry if I didn't clarify it wasn't the Max 200G), I was surprised, thought it would be some cheap stick, and wondered how Ferrell got it. Also...

    Dunlop 200G given to Craig Ferguson from Will Ferrell

    Sorry if this is not the place to post this but.. Did anyone catch the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on May 6, 2011? Will Ferrell was a guest on the show and he brought a gift for Craig Ferguson's son. The gift turned out to be a brand new Dunlop 200G. I happen to find some links. Check...

    What Graf has done with her Max 200Gs..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8yBSLcaD0o Hello everyone, Happened to come across this and was surprised to see what Graf has done with one of her Max 200Gs. Also, would anyone know if Graf used the 200G until it's last reincarnation (as seen in the video)? I don't recall seeing her play...

    Bring back the Yamaha Secret 04!

    There may be many on the famous auction site, but I was surprised to see that the people are asking around a hundred bucks for it. Isn't that hovering in the same radar as what people are selling for a vintage Wilson Pro Staff 85? In other words, there must be some l-ve for the Yamaha Secret 04.

    Dunlop Polygon

    On the side of the racket, it says that the Dunlop Polygon is "exclusively designed for Dunlop Japan Ltd." In addition, "this racket is composed of graphite/kevlar," and made in Taiwan. I recall seeing on Dunlop Japan's website that it was being sold around the same time as the Max 200G, in the...

    Dunlop Max 100G

    Hello, Posting photos of the Dunlop Max 100G for reference. And for those that are not familiar, it is only related to the Dunlop Max 200G by name. It is not an Injection Molded Frame. The 100G was made in Taiwan and I believe was only sold in Japan. Interestingly, I do believe that McEnroe...

    What is a Prince Magnesium Pro worth to you?

    I just placed a bid on an auction site for a new Prince Magnesium Pro for $85. Was I off my rocker to bid so high? I remember using the Magnesium in a 110 when I was in high school and it was like butter. I have always wanted to get the Pro but....

    greatest teenage player?

    Although Chang does not have the legendary status as the others mentioned, I am surprised that no one else is supporting him. I was told by someone who played in the junior circuits during Chang's time that he would beat guys two or three years older than he was. And to back that up, at the age...

    Dancevic's Volkl C10 Pro with a Tour 10 Generation II PJ

    ericsson, thanks for the prompt comments. I knew one of you guys would have the inside scoop. There was a faint thought in my mind to bid on this but now that is gone. Wallet is safe. Thanks. BTW kind of confused. Could you elaborate on why one would trim the bumper?

    Dancevic's Volkl C10 Pro with a Tour 10 Generation II PJ

    Someone is selling a Frank Dancevic Volkl Tour 10 Generation II that is actually a C10 Pro under the paint. Does anyone think it is worth the roughly US$200 the seller wants? And does anyone know, besides Dancevic, if any other pros used this PJ?

    What determines whether a Prince racquet is only sold in Japan or internationally?

    AndrewD, In Tokyo, Tennis House Eddy is quite popular. They seem to get unbelievable things. Like they have the Prince Tour Graphite 110 and the Prince Graphite 110(I believe the Prince Graphite 110 is similar to the original specs), even a Wilson Ultra2 95. They even have/had access to the...

    Prince Synthetic Gut Mains and Crosses for Prince Speedport Black

    In addition, would it be ill advised to have different tensions for the mains and crosses? For the Black, I was thinking of stringing them at 60 but was wavering between that and 58.
