I find some Yonex models like the RDX 500 Mid to have a very similar feel to the POG Mid. That's probably why it made it easier for Yonex to poach former POG users.
Every company poached prince users. Prince made great racquets and was the top 2 seller up til the mid 90's. What did Agassi use before donnay and radical-the Graphite. What did Roddick use? The graphite, precision equipe.
Prince should be where Wilson is but was just terribly managed and never put the money out to secure top players. By the time they realized they needed top players, wilson, babolat and head had taken all the good ones.
