Ha Ha what kind of name is Tom's Machine?
Is it the racquet specially made for Tom from Myspace?
That bright green is horrendous! Almost as nasty as the Yonex RDS 001!!!

Tom as in Thomas Muster. Muster switched from Head to Kneissl in the mid 90s; the story is that he went to an extended length frame after he used the Pro Tour 280 (or was it 630?). Michael Chaho is very familiar the Kneissl frames such as the Tom's Machine and Tom's Reach Machine.
Nope the Kneissl racquets are made bt YMA & the Kevlar ones by Chao Ta. THe Head racquest are mainly all ex China (with a some frames branded as Austrian being blanks sent from China & painted in Austria) Under the EU content rule that allows the to say made in Austria.
Refresh my memory...
Which pro players used Kneissl?
Thomas Muster,
Kevin Curren,
Helena Sukova...
I suppose Lendl should be included...
Who else?

Other than the aforementioned, not a lot of big names, Deuce. Markus Hipfl, Sergi Brugera (spelling?), Katerina Maleeva, Horst Skoff, Gilbert Schaller, Barbara Schett and I believe Boris Becker for a time early in his career.
Hey Michael, you gonna swipe up a green T Machine? You know you wanna!
It is a bit confusing that different sites however have different stiffness rating for the same racquets.
Well Bolt, it's up at TW, so you're going to have to look yourself.
noooo, so when will you guys be getting the new cosmetic? i take it not for a while if you got the old over the newAll our specs are for strung racquets. Not sure if the specs on the Kneissl website are strung - this changes the stiffness as a strung racquet will have a lower stiffness rating by a few points.
The Black Star racquets we have in stock all state 110sq. inches inside the throat. Not sure why the Kneissl website states 115sq. inches at this point and can only assume it's a misprint until we get confirmation. The racquet definitely looks more 110 than 115. We measured five Black Star racquets and took the average spec. It should be noted that all the Kneissl racquets offered a VERY tight spec tolerance, which was impressive.

Edit - Red Star cosmetics:
We received two cosmetic versions and went with the one shown. This is the one we'd be testing and had imaged ahead of time.
