Legend
saw the other day what I believe was a Fischer elliptic racket .. It was a court away so I didn't get a chance to see it well. But have seen it here on tt I believe it was whitish maybe grayish with pink camo Type paint , I know that sounds weird but it looked amazing from afar..
Had a taper design I believe . Like I said half a court away and I was on the other side of the mesh fence. Arghhhh
Anyway is my description bringing up anything ?
I googled it and came up with what may have been the Fischer elliptic .. But wanted to ask the pros on here about it.
I'm always down to find older fishers for fun but don't know a thing about them .. How they play , stiff , heavy or lighter and flexible which is whT I enjoy .
Anyway thought I would inquir here,
Thanks for any info
 
There you are retro. I was wondering when I'd hear from you !
I think if I was going to buy one from what I've researched it would be the pink and wht Kevlar elliptic pro.
Most head light .
Most flex
I think that's the one you retro.don't much care for yes ?
Maybe if I found one for dirt cheap I'd get it but the wife had me on financial lockdown so no more frames till xmas:)
 
:-D
The Pro is actually the stiffest of the line. The plain old Elliptic was a great 50% graphite, 50% fiberglass composite that was the most flexible layup.
 
Ahhh hah!
That's what I'm looking for really :)
Fishers most flexible open throat racket that's pretty head light.
Had a mag pro 105 for a second but it was way to heavy and stiff for me.,
Wish I had a list from stiffest to most flexible fishers :(
Excluding the mono shafts era
 
mag pro has a listed ra of 58 unstrung making it one of the softest os rackets out there , maybe you had a stiff string or poly instead of a multi ?
 
Yes sir she was soft. But I'm a weird one.. I like them in the 40 range.. RA...
Any older Fischer models in that range .?? Excluding the mono shaft models..
 
According to retro the regular elliptic may be the one I want ..
I'm having trouble researching that one.. Seen a lot of elliptical on line but none of them with just "Fischer "
Elliptic ..
Saw one rather , Nicole durr design o believe but don't know if that's indeed the model retro- is referring to??
 
Finally got to play 3 set doubles match with my Fischer Elliptics, it is an amazing racket to play with I had no idea what I was going to get out of this frame, this is very 1st time I tried this racket, will be playing with this more and more along with my TC95 Angells.

@retrowagen I just picked up a non-Pro Elliptic that says Kevlar Graphite on it. Do you know if some had Kevlar and some didn't?

Yes, there were three basic layups offered by Fischer in this mould. The Vac Elliptic Pro had Graphite/Ceramic layup, the Vacuum Elliptic (yours is a 1990 model, by the way), Elliptic Comp, Elliptic Kevlar, and Elliptic SL had Graphite/Kevlar layup, and the Elliptic, Elliptic Fun, and Elliptic Graphite Performance had a Graphite/Fiberglass layup.

WOW! Thank you again Retro ! What a wealth of knowledge you truly are man . Thank you again for always being so cool and forthright with your information! No gate keeping with @retrowagen !
 
I always seem to prefer the SiC based layups ("SiC ceramics graphite) over Kevlar (Kevlar graphite) one. Some of the frames came in both, so the comparison is kinda easy (=possible). For example
SiC > Kevlar
========
Twin Tec Pro (SiC) >> Twin Tec (Kevlar)
Elliptic Comp (SiC) > Elliptic Comp (Kevlar)
Vacuum Elliptic Pro (Sic) > Vacuum Elliptic (Kevlar)
I only have one "Graphite performance" for valid comparison. That one at least I do not really like (92' Elliptic Mid Plus).
But, nice frame @wedge! (Still in my maybe-I-want-that list)
