Fischer Vacuum Tour Mono?

[alkibiades]

Anyone know anything about this? Specs? When it was produced? Anyone hit with it?

I've thought the Prince Mono looked cool since I first saw Connors with one. Fischer frames tend to feel so good, the Fischer version of the same idea could be even better. There's one on the German auction site right now, and "ich habe Lust dafuer"!!

It was produced 92-95 in 4 different models, good to coach with & easy on the arm.

The one I'm looking at is called the "Pro Mono 95".

I'd love to see pics of the other variants if anyone has them.

Fischer should bring back the Mono!! Everyone is making the same stuff these days, I'm sure they could sell a few just because it's different.

Contact them direct I'm sure they still have a few hundred somewhere....it was a bit of a flop.

The Mono Tour (red) has a 95 head, weighs 330 grams (very headlight), and is slightly shorter than 27 inches, like most Fischers. I doubt that Fischer still has a a stock of these. A few years back, I contacted the previous Fischer US distributor (before Gamma) and bought 7 Mono demos in great condition. At the time, they were out of new stock. Maybe the Fischer headquarters in Austria still have some, but they are harder to contact. I found the Fischer Mono better than its Prince counterpart because of the "Torsion Box" in the monoshaft, which gave it more stability. Nice volleying racquet, and a conversation starter on most courts (everyone is always curious about it, because it looks so unique).
