Are the Pro Cynetic 1 and Graphite Borg the same?

[max_brat]

Hey guys,

I am looking to sell one of my Pro Cynetic 1's and my only Graphite Borg. Someone on the big auction site referred to the PC1 they were selling as a racquet designed for Borg, but when he retired, Donnay sold the PC1 to recoup their losses on the plan and that the PC1 was rare (his words, not mine).

I had thought the Graphite Borg was Bjorn's planned racquet, and I know the link between the PS85 and the PC1, but are the PC1 and Graphite Borg the same?

Thanks for reading!

I believe the mold is the same between those two models, but the composition differs - IIRC, the PC1 has Kevlar; the Borg is all Graphite. Both models were current circa 1986-1987; BB played his last exo in 1986 (Suntory) with the Graphite Borg and then went incognito for quite some time.
