Donnay X-Pro One OS

[Player#1]

I would really like to see Donnay incorporate their new technology into a Player's oversize frame... Maybe an update of their Donnay Pro One except employing their xenocore technology, a thinner beam, an 18X19 or 18X20 string pattern and more weight (at least 12.1 or ideally around 12.5 strung)

"Donnay X-Pro One OS" or "Donnay X Dual-Pro One OS"

It has been a LONG time since any company has made a proper Oversize Player's racquet. The closest would probably be the Head Radical Oversize, but that racquet has issues like the trampoline effect created by a 16X19 string pattern, the light weight and manuverability hindered by a 21mm beam.

I think Donnay would be an ideal fit to produce an unparalleled Player's OS racquet.

While I think it would be cool for Donnay themselves to actually reserect the Pro One OS with there Xenecore technology, you forget that racquet had a very spin friendly 16x19 open string pattern because it was designed for Agassi who came from using the POG OS. The Head Radical OS line was then of course designed for Agassi when he signed with them and while the early ones he used were a custom 20x21 extremely tight string pattern he did later switch to the normal 18x19 pattern that we've been accustomed to with Radical OS racquets. In my book, a 21mm beam is still fairly thin.

...for some reason I was thinking the Radical OS was 16X19. My bad.

The biggest problem I have with an OS frame is the trampoline effect on hard, flat groundies and volleys, which seems to be lessened with a tighter string pattern. I seem to be able to generate the same amount of spin with either string pattern.

21mm is pretty thin, but imagine 15mm or 16mm along with a either an ultra flexible frame or a flexible frame with more power than a traditional OS player's racquet and a tighter string pattern (maybe 20X21) to allow for better control on volleys and fast exchanges! That would be beautiful!
