Hi,
I am a German researcher currently working for an american production company who i producing a documentary on Gottfried von Cramm.
Gottfried von Cramm actively played tennis from the 1920s to the 1950s and used a wooden tennis racquet with a smaller handle because a horse bit off part of his finger. For the documentary we would like to film the production of a wooden tennis racquet like the ones Gottfried would have used. Unfortunately we are having trouble finding companies (or even afficionados) still making wooden racquets.
That's why I am turning to this community to ask for help if any of you know of someone who still makes wooden racquets anywhere in the world?
