Have you painted it?Here is the black-painted Fischer Twin Tec Pro
with its 2-shell technology.
Strung weight 338 grams
SW 316
Balance 320 mm
RA stiffness 64
The Babolat Maillot Witt works well - I have one too, too bad it doesn't measure swingweight.Here is the Fischer Superform.
It was revolutionary at the time when wooden rackets were still being used.
My historic Quick RA from Babolat Maillot Witt, the predecessor of the RDC, measures accurately thanks to gravity.
Strung weight 384 grams.
SW 375.
Balance 325 mm.

I’ve got 2 Superforms. One has never been strung. They are beasts, around 14.5 ounces I think. I also have a Superform Stan Smith Mid. If it’s a Mid, I’ve won 2 slams.Here is the Fischer Superform.

This the same one I have and posted above and I aso have it with ceramics in the mix and this one is Pearl white . They both hit so buttery and clean .. very similiar to later stitch vacuum frames .I have now measured and photographed my Fischer collection.

Most RDCs that occasionally appear on the market usually have a fault—either the crucial SW measurement does not work or the scale does not work.

The OG Kyrgios. Is that a custom paint job he’s using?During his 2012 Australian Open match against Stanislas Wawrinka, Marcos Baghdatis smashed four rackets in around 30 seconds.
He played with Fischer and later Pacific frames with special paintwork.
Marcos Baghdatis Tennis Racquet
Marcos Baghdatis made a huge splash when he in 2007’s Australian Open tore through the draw and despite a ranking outside the top 100, qualified for the final against Roger Federer. Federer managed to win that match and the title, but it was still thought to be the start of something big for the...
Despite his outburst, Baghdatis was eliminated in the second round in Melbourne by Swiss player Stanislas Wawrinka.
He was fined just $800 for his outburst.
I actually watched that live on TV. I was in Virginia Beach for Tri-level Sectionals and watched in my hotel room. One of my favorite Aussie Open moments.During his 2012 Australian Open match against Stanislas Wawrinka, Marcos Baghdatis smashed four rackets in around 30 seconds.

Yes, I did that because the original paintwork was already very worn and didn't look very nice.
That’s mean but hey you gave guy a jolly time to remember on court in Croatia…unethical win-win, lmao.Yes, I did that because the original paintwork was already very worn and didn't look very nice.
I have a little anecdote about that.
We were at a tennis camp in Porec, Croatia, and there were some guys from Germany there too.
One of them noticed the black Twin Tec and wanted to know what model it was.
I said, more as a joke, that it was a Head prototype and that I had it with me for testing purposes.
He was really excited and wanted to try the racket out.
I put on a serious face and said that it was still a secret and that he couldn't play with the racket under any circumstances.
Since he wouldn't give up, I said that he couldn't take any photos or tell anyone that he had played with a prototype, and that he had to buy a round of beers for the four of us.
He was the happiest man on the tennis court and enjoyed the half hour with the racket.
We had a lot of fun at this camp with the German guys.
I didn't even get a chance to clear up the misunderstanding—the boy was so fascinated that I couldn't say anything else.
Yes ! I have that one too !I have now measured and photographed my Fischer collection.

hey @fritzhimself ! I too have this awesome stick but mine looks really small . Smaller than a 95 .. could mine be a 90? It says midsize on the hoop at 10 o’clock . Don’t know if that means anything?I have now measured and photographed my Fischer collection.

It's probably a '95 head.
Ahah that's a great story. Something that I would have liked to do for decades to break the "placebo" effect when guys play with a Babolat or a Head or a Wilson and say they love it no matter what, then try a Fischer and say it's a dumb racket no matter what.Yes, I did that because the original paintwork was already very worn and didn't look very nice.

Yes, he was a really nice guy.Cool story
Friends, Fischer, beers... tennis at its bestYes, he was a really nice guy.
If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have remembered that story—it was a great week with good friends and wonderful memories.
Great quote which I added at my signature, with your permission of course @teachingprotx
Fritz have you heard of the Ellesse SE-10 that were produced by Fischer?It's probably a '95 head.
Here's a Pure Strike with a '98 head and a Prestige (600-93) with a genuine '90 head.
Amazing, never ever heard of this !!
Apparently they were only given to shareholders at annual meetings lol. But why did Fischer produce it and was it only in Japan?
I've checked, there are a few of them on the same website, I'd say produced around 1997-98 judging by cosmetics.
they don’t look like your run of the mill retail mold/frames. Do you think they weren’t good enough to release under their own name? So took the risk when another brand asked for a colab? Shame they are all so underweight.
Unfortunately, no.
I feel honored !
Cool. Thanks
Ahah cheers. When my next couple get here. I’ll make sure to post his sister, she’s cute as can be, & surprisingly not a tabbi…you’ll have to wait and seeThey all look great, especially the ones with the cat
Hope you will enjoy them while on court.
Thanks dude. I didn’t realise that the inner hoop is almost blade V8 chameleon/oil slick greeny-Grey, I assumed it was all Black (granite ( I think that is just a fancy word for Boron) still hits super soft with the old factory Fischer strings that still have snap back??? One other thing strange about it is the grip shape is slightly bloated/flared at the end, because of the vibration dampening handle system in the handle
I'd say none...
I want the one on ****. But I’m not willing to shell out for shipping from the US
(. Just have to hope one pops up in Australia or Japan
