    Official Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Thread

    I am down to my last two pairs. I have no interest in any of the new styles. Come on Nike bring them back. Even Dimitrov still wears them.

    Official Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Thread

    They did not sell out at launch because the colorways sucked. I have the above pair but they are not my favorite. I do have the ones above that are all white with a blue swoosh. I really like them. I just put them on for the first time the other day. I have been saving them since they are no...

    Nike Decline

    Exactly! And that is a major mis-step for them. I was a huge Nike fan. I still am! They just do not have any current offerings that I want.

    Most powerful 95 inch old school racket with ok ok feel?

    I thought the Wilson Pro Staff 95 Classic had a lot of power because of its weight.

    Nike Has Given Up on Tennis

    Nike has lost their way! I love the RF shirts with the welded seams. I also loved the vapor 9 and 9.5 shoes. I am sad that Nike has done such a poor job in recent times that I am now considering other brands for my tennis shoes and apparel. That would have never happened in the past.

    The Nike Vapor Tribute Thread

    Sadly Nike is my favorite brand but they have lost their way! My kids love Nike too but since the vapor 9, 9.5, and 10 are gone we have lost interest. None of us like the new offerings. For the first time in many years we are looking to other brands for shoes. There was a time when we waited for...

    Nike Decline

    Is it just me or has Nike lost some of its luster? I have been a Nike fan for many years. I remember my next store neighbor, who was a nationally ranked player, back in 1975 getting Nike shoes in the mail. I was just a little kid. When I was in jr high back in the around 1980 everyone had the...

    What string for a 12yr old boy UTR 3 - the Wilson NXT I recently got lasted a month!!

    Wait until he gets older. My son would go through NXT in 2-3 days.

    Official Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Thread

    I would really like to get this shoe. I am 57 years old and I remember when white nike shoes with the light blue swoosh were the rage in school.

    The Nike Vapor Tribute Thread

    I had most of these. I loved the Vapor 9 and 9.5. Unfortunately i need a stockpile. I do not like any of the new Nike shoes i have tried. I feel like they are a step backwards.

    $170 for vapor 9.5 reissue?

    I bit the bullet and bought a pair. Say Chin Sin Lo you put me over the edge lol. After wearing them I realize they are the best fitting shoe for me since they came out in the Nike line. All the Nike shores after them are not good for me.

    I have never heard of Federer having such a low swing weight. I must be out of the loop more than I thought.

    Nike...... just start making the vapors again or something that does not look all bent up? The crooked laces suck! I have worn Nike shoes since the 1980s but the new one are terrible!

    Air Trainer 1 Chlorophyll - the old McEnroe, Agassi and Wilander shoe

    Pros are still wearing Vapor 9/9.5/10... Bring them back Nike

    The new shoes suck. I have been a Nike tennis shoe person since the 1980s. I loved the Vapors. My son played with them as well all through his junior year. The new shoes are not as good. The laces are crooked? Nike, that is so ugly. You tell me they are better but I never had a problem with the...

    Nike 2021 general thread

    I have been a big fan of Nike for a very long time since the '80s. I loved the Vapors and before that the Oscillates. I love the RF stuff with the welded seems. None of the newer stuff seems as nice. The new shoes are not appealing at all. I feel like Nike is off their game.

    Pro Staff 97 vs Kfactor 6.1 95

    It is 354g with one overgrip and strung with poly. I thought I edited the first post. I must have not saved it. Before it had more than one overgrip. It was purchased from Tennis Warehouse many years ago.it has a 16x18 string pattern. That was a mistype.

    The Pro Staff Classic 6.1 mutual appreciation club

    I used to have several PSC 6.1 rackets in extended length and 18x20 string pattern. I am down to one that is not cracked but I do not play with it. It was a beast. I do play with my 6.1 kfactor 16x18 frames.

    What "player racquet" is the most forgiving/easiest?

    I would say a racket around 100 sq in and stiff and light. It has a big head size but no so big to make is sluggish. It is light and easy to maneuver. That does not mean it is the best racket but it might be best for a beginner. You might even look at a 26 inch racket for juniors.

    Pro Staff 97 vs Kfactor 6.1 95

    I think we may both be correct. The 6.1 weighs 365g strung with an overgrip. I have an RF97 that weighs 373g strung with an overgrip and it is easier to get topspin with it. I think headlight and the weight both have an impact. My 6.1 has a 16x16 string pattern.

    Pro Staff 97 vs Kfactor 6.1 95

    Pro Staff 97 is 11.4oz and 8 points headlight. The Kfactor 6.1 95 is 11.7oz and 12 points headlight. I find the 6.1 plays a little heavier and has a little more power but is harder to generate topspin because it is so headlight.

    Pros racquets at 1992 US Open

    Edberg played with the Pro Staff 90 that was painted to look like the Pro Staff Classic 95. I never knew it at the time. I thought he had the 95. TV was not as detailed as it is today. They show up on **** every so often and they are not cheap.

    is this excessive?

    I have 8 or 9 Wilson Kfactor 6.1 95 rackets.
