Seemed like kind of a dark decade to me. I grew up in it! What were the classics, gems and underrated frames of the 90s?

Nearly all had wide-bodiesalso had a prince cts synergy 32 something or other that was a head-heavy gimmicky POS. profile 3.6 was an arm-destroying monster. i think Head was the shining light back then, specifically the straight-beamed ones. the trisys series also has some weirdly shaped gimmicky beams if i recall correctly.
The 90’s were a good decade for racquets

Wilson began with the H22 and H19 in the early 2000’s. I think about 2004 it was simpley to get those HEAD players over to Wilson.Amazing how many legendary frames HEAD produced in that period and how much crap they came out with since.
When did Wilson begin to make H19 and H22 available to the pros?
Thanks, play dubs with a player that uses this racquet,Yes, the Revelation 200G came out in 1998. Muscleweave 200G came out in 2000 and Hotmelt with 300G came out in 2002

You would have loved the Pro Tour 280/630, Radical Tour TwinTube 630, and i.Prestige MPMan, this was the time that I laid off tennis after college, from about 1993 till about 2009. The person I liked the most was Thomas Muster![]()
