I have a few more that I'll add soon, but right now I'm measuring the balance on the "old" racquets. I'll see if I can convert the list to a picture file, put it in on image shack for instance, and then post it as a picture here. It would maybe be less time consuming, but would it work?

The balance of each frame would be great, too

 

[king of swing]

why not pics while your at it?

 

[Dino Lagaffe]

Oh, I'm working on it. It might take a while though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Composition? Material? (wiki?)

 

[Dino Lagaffe]

Sorry, not sure about the composition.

An easy way to do it-

Do it all in Excel, then either print to a PDF and make that into an image file, or simply take a screenshot (by pressing "print screen") of the chart in Excel. Then you can save the screenshot as a .jpg or .img or anything else and easily save it as an image to your online storage location.

If you do it all in Excel, and send it to me, I'd be glad to forward you back a nice picture.

Dino, do you happen to have a picture of this racquet that you could post? Is this the white one? It brings back a lot of good memories - I think this is the racquet I used in the mid 80's but my recollection of the 80's is kinda hazy

headsize? beamwidth?

I don't know for sure. 95ish? Beamwidth is pretty wide.

Thanks! I'll get back to you later.

Sorry, no picture readily available. I can confirm that it is white, though.
