Kneissl racquets twice as expensive as other racquets?!

[framebreaker]

why are kneissl racquets so expensive? they cost abou 170 or 160 Euro.
which is what? $ 230?
why should i pay so much for such a small racquet company that has only one unknown player who uses their racquet (Juergen Melzer)

it's not too bad, considering a lot of today's frames are around the $200 mark. vantage frames are around there, and bosworth are like $500 a frame.

and it's how YOU play w/ the frame...not how some pro plays w/ it.

Juding by the OP's screen name - not a good idea to invest in this frame.

It's a tough world . . . when you're not breaking your frame you're breaking the bank.

ha,it's true. i keep braking and deforming frames but i never abuse them.
todays racquets lack quality. they can't be strung high and/or withstand long first serve practice sessions. and the kneissls are made in one mold. this means no bending, no deformation etc. mhm what can i say?

When is your frame of reference? Many of the heavier racquets today are actually quite durable and sturdy.
