Jack Kramer Staff = PS 6.0 85?

[treo]

I have a Wilson Jack Kramer Staff and it looks identical to a PS 6.0 85 and the specs seem the same. Is it the same racquet with a different paint job?

It's a tad more flexible. Otherwise its almost the same. Headsize is also 85 sq.in.

Significantly more flexible due to 20% fiberglass instead of 20% kevlar. Way too underpowered for modern singles. I have one. It's a nice racquet, though, and especially for people with tennis elbow. Stick with 17 gauge string with good repulsion. It's also lighter and more of an even balance.

Why is it too underpowered? Wouldn't a PS 85 be the same as well? Could you explain, because I have this racquet, and i want it to be my tournament racquet.

It is not as stiff as the current crop of players frames. At 85 sq ins, you will neexd to really hit the sweetspot to get decent ball acceleration. If you want to use it as your aminstay, what happens when you break a string?

Less pop on the ball than the PS85, weighs about 0.5oz less strung and slightly less HL.
