Racquet Name: Donnay Pro One 16x19Apparently the mold used for RF 97's is THE VERY SAME MOLD used for the Donnay Pro One 97 (16X19)… As part of the agreement (i.e. Wilson buying the rights / mold), Donnay USA had to stop making the frames (that's why you can't even find them @ TW anymore). And the "Xenecore" 16 X 19 is indeed a different racquet. I heard the story @ Indian Wells this year, from an agent who represents some Wilson players. Since this friend is NOT representing the top echelon of Wilson players, I wonder if there's any truth to that...
