Actually, all those had different string experiments. But oddly enough, the Lux Alu strung sub-45lbs was just lovely - especially on the 300i's. It was even better than gut. The overall feel was a nice, dull wood-like thud at the ball. And it made the MAX's perform better than most modern...

Hey guys, Here’s my collection of Dunnies - MAX200G, MAX200GPro and MAX300i: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/urvppsn9kh5nbtvc4yopo/Dunnie2025.jpg?rlkey=pjpmv9budxzh9uvbizg2u4ish&st=najf053s&dl=0 I posted them in the used area. I’m letting all eleven rackets go for $225 - like, $20 a racket...

The math on Chris Evert keeps her in any discussion. Her stats on any surface are truly mind blowing. But here’s a thought I always wanted to put out: she’s the best WOOD racket player, ever. Evert hit harder off the ground than any of her peers - except Austin who maybe had a better...

Hi Fischer Faction, As promised, I posted a matched set of Pacific X-Feel 90 Fischer Vacuums in the used section. I hope someone here finds it of interest. :)

Hi Club, As promised, I posted a four racket matched set of Pacific X-Feel 90 Vacums I the used section. Hope someone here finds it of interest.

Hi Ski School, I've been happily hitting with my Fischer 90's - I use YONEX Poly Pro Tour 18 gauge strung at 41lbs, two pieces with Power Pads. And they've been awesome! I have eight of them. A heads-up: I will probably post my four Pacific Tour 90's ( same molds as the Fishers ) in the used...

There are whole host of players I would mention before I would even put Musetti’s name in the versatile one-handed backhand mix. And his follow-through is not especially aesthetic or effective; he’s like a poor-man’s Tommy Robredo - and that’s no slight on Tommy. To name a few just amongst...

Just picked up this stick for $70. It needed some reconditioning - a new head guard / grommet set ( or what passed for them with Fischer ) for starters. Went on to regrip and restring with Power Pads - 18 gauge Yonex Poly Tour Pro, two pieces at 43lbs. It's actually one of my least...

Hi Fischer Group! I hit with the Vacuum Pro 90 for a long time and recently switched to the Pacific X-Feel Vacuum Pro 90. The rackets are essentially the same - the molds are identical and I've put the same grommets in both. The Pacific may be a touch stiffer ( or they hit with a little...

Are you looking for photos of any particular rackets? I can upload later today. Cheers!

Thank you!

Thank you for the reply. I'm playing the newer one, this one: http://www.tennis.com/gear/dunlop/racquets/maxply-mcenroe-2543/

I’ve been hitting with the McEnroe Maxply ( the 2000-something retro model ). It’s quite the lovely hit - gut on the mains and lux on the crosses. I had heard it’s a repaint of some Dunlop model but I don’t know what it is. I need to stop hitting with them because they’re so pretty and I...

At his best Sampras had the more complete game with both better defensive skills and the best transition game until Federer showed up. They both had plenty of offense. Plus, Pete was by far the more clutch player of the two. The trick to beating Agassi was to make him take more than two steps...

Thank you!

I just came from the Australian Open. While I was there, I found several pick-up games. People there were really, really nice and if you’re not a jerk, you can find many a hit. As you’d imagine, it wasn’t hard to get players to have a beer. And after I begged them to talk about anything...

Federer made the Quarters and I got on a Qantas. It was already an odd time of the year for travel. No one flies over an ocean the last full week of January, at least not for leisure. Holidays were over, people had just gotten back home and that nasty work-cycle was about to start up...

I finally saw the final of the 1984 World Team Cup. I was interested in seeing it because although people have written about how well McEnroe played in specific matches ( most notably the Wimbledon final and the US Open final ), John himself has said the red clay World Team Cup was the most...

Sorry to revive an old thread. Rorsach: is it true, do you touch up old 200g's? I'd love to have a few of mine worked on. If so, how do I get in touch with you? Thanks!

I actually have a really interesting match between Gerulaitis and Krishnan, Wimbeldon 82. I think it was one of Vitas's first matches with a graphite racket too. That match was compelling because neither of the two played knockout tennis, their points had to be won through construction and...

Aside from the burn-out issue which was so grandly illustrated with his famous book-reading incident, Courier suffered from an arms race that also plagued Chang in the later parts of his career. In short, Courier tried to serve to big. Perhaps he was hoping to keep up with his peers, but...

This is part two of a question I laid down yesterday, How would you beat John McEnroe? Let’s get a few things out of the way first: Let us assume that youth is prone to hyperbole and that indeed the statement that these guys would “crush John McEnroe” is in actuality a lack of poetic...

A poster on another thread asked what the NTRP rating of The Power Shares series players would be today. The reaction were varied but very interesting reading. There was even a suggestion of 4.5. I wrote this: To be fair, if you met Rod Laver on some random, dusty old tennis court on...

To be fair, if you met Rod Laver on some random, dusty old tennis court on a cool summer evening and you didn't recognize who he was then yes, your weekend-tournament-player-ness might be able to do well against his 70-year-old-ness. Legend eventually gives way to logic, age is age after all...

Were you able to sell your Pacific 90's? If not, I'm interested in purchasing them. Also, I have a HEAD Youtek Mid if you're interested in factoring in a trade. If available, please drop me a line at dean@XDLfilms.com Thank you, ~ Dean

I think part of the reason why Vitas is so fascinating to so many players is because he is like a kind of gate-keeper to greatness. When I was a kid, my coach wanted me to be smart like him and use foot-speed like him - and I always thought there was no way someone would name a kid “Vitas.”...
