Composition of Prince CTS DB 26 and Prince CTS Approach racquets?

Does anyone know the composition of the Prince CTS DB 26 and CTS Approach racquets? Graphite only? Or a blend with another material? Any Kevlar in there?

A DB 26 OS I recently picked up has a sticker that read, "Liquid Crystal Polymer" -- anyone know what that means?

Thanks in advance.

I had a DB26 Mid. That "liquid crystal polymer" thing is a gimmick name for just "stupid piece of soft plastic" (if not silicone) that's inserted in the "supposedly" double bridge, to act as a dampener.

Sad, my DB26 just broke while hanging on the wall. Hit with it only about four times. This was in 1992. I didn't even care to look at the composition. Sorry for that.

My friend plays with the DB 26 midplus. Bought it years ago, and since he only plays rarely, he still uses it and likes it just fine. He'll be using it tomorrow when we play doubles together...

heycal,

Thanks, anirut. Good to know that's what liquid crystal polymer refers to.
