    Extended length mids ?

    Has anything of this sort ever been manufactured and sold retail? I haven't seen any mid sized racquets that are produced 27.5" or 28", but I think they would play great!

    Comparison: Donnay Blue vs. Donnay Platinum

    With the X series, Donnay made it easy to distinguish the differences in the 1,000 or so variations they produced, however I can't tell exactly where the x series is different from the Xdual series (aside from the marketing). What are the major differences between the X-Blue and XDual-Platinum...

    Cheap Gut Stringing

    When people string with this, have they just been taking it out of the package and stringing it up? ...Or have they been conditioning it with oils, applying a sealant like clear coat then using wax? * I want to see how much tighter I can string the gut compared to the poundage it's...

    Thickest Gauge Natural Gut?

    I am considering trying out some natural gut. I string tight (~72lbs), hit hard, play serve/volley tennis, hit the ball pretty flat on my groundstrokes and go for broke on my shots rather than get into a long topspin rally. My stick is a midsize racquet with an 18X20 string pattern. I would...

    Tourna Cross string savers... what the?

    Well, I ordered some string savers... but it looks like the one of the packs is a completely different type of plastic. The tourna cross string savers are usually a soft material with high plasticity, however one of the packs is filled with string savers that are more like the gamma type...

    XL customization

    How do I adjust racquet weight and balance to account for an extra .5" or 1"? Do I get a similar balance/swingweight feel as the standard length by moving the balance further towards headlight or do I get closer to that feel by lowering the weight and staying at the same...

    Largeheads

    Still haven't been able to find the exact specs for the Sting Larghead: stiffness, beam width, weight, balance. (Are the frames solid all the way through or are they hollow? Is it a deadened feel or is there a lot of feedback when you hit the ball?) I'm also interested in knowing how the...

    Improving the playability of old wood rackets

    My favorite wood racquet is starting to give out. It has been seen a lot of play and prevailed over many a graphite, but now is breaking down. I now have to lower the spot where I hit the ball to get pace. How can I improve the quality of play from my Heavy JKA towards the end of its...

    Wood Racket Storage

    I need a good method of storing wood racquets in a space efficient manner. Any suggestions? I don't have enough room to put them on the walls or display any more of them.

    TAD Davis Racquets

    I now have many of these in new condition. (Professional, Duke, Imperial and Classic II models) I haven't actually strung up any of these to hit with yet, but I have read about durability problems on this board. As with an apparent majority of people now, I don't string the wood racquets...

    Prokennex golden ace

    I don't know much about this racquet, but I just bought a few... How does it play compared to a Prince Woodie or a Jack Kramer Midsize? What is the flex rating? How flexible does it play compared to other wood racquets or something like the Rossignol F200? Did it come in different...

    Donnay X-Pro One OS

    I would really like to see Donnay incorporate their new technology into a Player's oversize frame... Maybe an update of their Donnay Pro One except employing their xenocore technology, a thinner beam, an 18X19 or 18X20 string pattern and more weight (at least 12.1 or ideally around 12.5 strung)...

    Jack Kramer Autograph made in U.K.?

    I just got a JKA that has a sticker saying "made in U.K." below the grip size sticker. I thought they were only made in the U.S. ? ...and I'm guessing it's a heavy because it's 15oz unstrung.

    Heavy Wood Racket

    I'm having a difficult time finding a wood racket that is heavy enough. I would like one that is H (heavy) in any grip size. Anything at 14.5oz or heavier would be great. Anybody know where to find one?

    Youtek Extreme Pro Stock Weight

    I just bought a Youtek extreme pro. The specifications say it's supposed to weigh 11.1oz unstrung. It weighed in at 11.8oz. The weight of the racket strung and with an overgrip was up at 12.7oz! The racket feels great. It feels like it should, just heavier. I'm happy with this...
