Any Thin Beam Racquets Besides Donnay?

[vitas77remembered]

I'm an old schooler who has had control problems with the newer thicker beam racquets so I've held tight to my NXGs. I am primarily a baseliner who loves to attack and hit on the rise when I can so I've got a big swing and can generate my own power (I'm a 4.5+)

I now need a new racquet because even **** does not have any reasonable ones.

I tried out 3 Donnays last night (x-blue, red, yellow). I thought I would like the 94 blue but it was a board and I really enjoyed the yellow.

Are there any comparables to the Donnay Yellow to demo?

Thanks.

The Donnays are super-thin (around 16mm). There's nothing else that thin, but there's a lof of frames 18mm-20mm which I think could accurately be decribed as thin-beamed.

Prince EXO3 Tour, Dunlop Bio 200 and 200 Light, Prince Diablo (mid and midplus), Volkl 10 series, a few Yonex. That's just a starter list. They're out there, but you have to search.

Prince EXO3 tour 100 for me. I used Donnays and liked them a lot.

Prince just really captured the old school feel and flex in a thin beam and the power is there as well.

Use TW's racquet finder and enter 20mm as your max beam, presto! There's tons of them...

I love the skinny box beam of the KPS88 although it is a war club.

obviously the K90 or BLX 90.
Vokl/ Boris Becker make some as well.

Donnay have it...!

The best old scholler donnays are : black 94, dark red 94 and platinum!
Try this and your problem is over...

The blx blade tour racket has a pretty thin beam as well.

I thought about this but there is no beam criteria/category on the racquet finder, at least from what I can see.

volkl organix 10 325 or 295. I think TW has 20mm listed but it feels really small in the hand but it is a very solid racket.
