I play better with old T3000 than Tour 90!

Hey all, I picked up a Wilson T3000 from my boss (Tennis pro, he was throwing it out). I've hit with it on several occasions now, and can honestly say, this is a quality racquet! I can't belive how well I'm playing with a stick so old...it's insane. I suck with woodies, but this thing just feels oh so right. Anyone else play/played with it? I had a pair of Tour 90's a while back, that I bought on a whim, just for kicks, and in all truthfulness, I'd rather go into a match playing with the T3000 than the Tour 90's. Crazy...
 
I pulled out my old Wilson World Class as a joke awhile back. It's the one that was endorsed by Rosewall in the 70s. I played great with it, even though it has thick nylon string and appears to be about a 70 si head.

I also have a T3000 that I played with years ago. I'll have to give it a whirl now. Would hate to restring that rascal however.

Hi Koz, I echo your thoughts. I got a T3000 recently and was blown away! It plays insane, heaps better than any wooden racquet even those with large heads like the Dunlop A-player Plus, Head GLC etc. I could use modern forhand technique, produce great spin with this small head and most importantly have a great kick serve, something I could never achieve with a woody. T3000 has a great power too. Mine is strung with interesting multi filament that I want to identify, but has troubles so far. it has a red thread in it. By the way, do anyone knows the differences with the subsequent models, the T4000 and T5000?

Cool, lol. Those always felt rattlely the limited times I hit with one (I barely remember it - early 80s. I went with the aluminum Wilson Cobra OS).
