Anybody can tell sth about this frame?

[mmuubb]

I just bought an old Dunlop on a flea market(paid about 10zl-c.a 3$) and I can't find any information about it. It says "Revelation d.p Super," it's 95sq.i., has a 15x21 pattern(the string enters the frame in a funny way-kind like in two "rows"). It's black with dark red irregular spots on it. It has the old dunlop ISIS system.
Anybody can tell me sth about this frame?any specifications or experience with those?

First, answer me this, what the hell does "sth" mean?

 

[mmuubb]

Well...i always thought it means "something". Is it wrong or impolite to use it?

Some of us may not be able to understand you, and thus immediately think you're some 8 year old in his room that knows nothing about tennis. I'm not saying that's true, quite the opposite, but I just want to warn you. Anyway, does it have multiple strings coming through each grommet?

Voltron, thanks for the warning, I'll keep that in mind
As for the racket-no ,it doesn't have multiple strings through each grommet. Grommet holes are pierced in the frame in two rows-above and below the center line. When for example, a main string goes"under" the top cross string, it goes up and enters the frame on an angle. Similarry, then next one to it goes "over" the last cross string and goes down , entering the frame on an angle.

It looks a little bit like this:

I'll post some photos later as soon as I get home.

It has the staggered stringing system like the old Prince Vortex and Mizuno Reactor frames. This one and the Slazenger version were the only frames to ever have an odd number mof main strings. I can't remember the reasoning for the centre main versus traditional main string numbers. Wasn't really anything to write home about other then the odd amount of main strings. It's comfortable to play with thanks to the staggered strings and the ISIS handle. Other then that, can't remember much.

does it really matter what racquet it is.

if you play well with it, it doesnt really matter.


just my two cents.

Thomas Martinez, thanks for the information!
I tried it today for half an hour and... well it plays like ****-too high-powered, very unstable and lacks touch. However, I didn't expect much of it and bought it just beacuse of the price and funny string system/pattern for collection purposes. I just thought that someone could give me the exact specifications of it as I can't find them anywhere.

Just uploaded a few photos for those interested. I guess it's a nice addition to the "funny pattern" part of my collection(18x19,21x23 and now 15x21)
