Just bought an old racket

[hyperthom007]

Liquidmetal Radical Pro!!
I saw them selling a really old version of LM radical pro in a sports shop near my place. It sold for $100.
Here is some pix.

and most importantly

They did not have many types of string there so I strung it with Head's FXP power 16g at 54lb.
One bad thing was it was in the store for quite some time so the plastic cover on the handle was basically sticking onto the grip itself. Some came off when I was about to open the grip
But there is nothing an Overgrip couldn't handle

Are there any more of these in the store?

 

[Gimpy]

please i want to know also if there are more, this is a frame i have tried to find for awhile now!

 

[hyperthom007]

There are 3 more in the store but I don't live in the USA so I don't think I can help you guys.
Btw, this racket is great!

 

[Chase]

which country mate?

 

[Gimpy]

can you tell me where the store is located and maybe the phone number?

send email to hustlinyou89@ yahoo.com

 

[hyperthom007]

sorry for the late reply, I was held up for the past few days...
Anyways, I am from Malaysia... somepart of Southeast Asia where they do not really realise that this racket is GOLD!
I'm bought it in Penang. If you in need of more help in finding the location, do call me. I do not think they have any shipping service for it.

 

[Chase]

yea no kidding. hyperthom007 i would love to get my hands on of the remaining sticks, do you reckon you could help a fellow TTWer out? If it's at all possible, please let me know at strmuse@yahoo.com.au

 

[Satch]

any specs?

 

[hyperthom007]

I didn't measure the SW and balance but the whole thing was 354gram (dampener + strings)
Chase, I see what I can do as I am now in another state. I will be going back to Penang in like another 2 months time. I will go check it out then I might contact you then.... If you can wait that is but I wouldn't be too worried of it going anywhere... haha.
Most of the players here are more contented with APD or K95.

They have them in Dick's Sporting Goods here in Kentucky. They sell for just under $100 also.

I hate it when someone says they just bought an "old" racket, and it's not even wood.

Yeah, really old. 4 years ago!!! Man, that's ancient. The older you get the more time that needs to go by until your brain registers it as being old. Old for me is early to mid 90's. Old is Nintendo and Atari, record players and transformers. I grew up with those as a kid. I guess when I was 16 if two years past that would be considered a long time.

Old for me is Commodore 64 and Amiga.
Old for me is writing in Dos, and playing computer games by downloading via a cassette player
Old for me is Knight Rider and He-Man.
Old for me is Sampras v. Leconte at Davis Cup (recorded on beta tape and watched it a good 50 times!
