Japanese company Gosen made this ultrathin strings for PK micro series racquets in 80s. I think they had business cooperation with PK.

Strung a Prince POG OS with badminton strings. Snapped in less time than it took to string it.

Kenneth Carlsen used the white Ceramic Ace (I think it's called) until he switched to Babolat in the '00's.

Yes, and Snauwaert made him a copy of Wimbledon Graphite. He got to the 1986 Roland Garros final using Wimbledon.

Did not know that, how id you get information like that? In RG '86 he played with a grey one with VS stencil (what was that, Babolat strings?). Afterwards with Snauwaert, later with Prince.

I lived it. Wimbledon graphite was dark grey with red and gold stripes with Babolat VS stencil for the VS Gut.

I may have watched - by proxy - a little too much 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' over the years but that guy looks even more likely to morph into a werewolf (or other random ghoul) at any moment than Jiri Vesely.
That's actually a Fischer Vacuum Pro MP 98(Kafelnikov used) with a Pro Kennex stencil. No paint job to cover it up either, crazy. I have one. Fantastic racquet when strung with gut, multi, or synthetic gut which it was designed for. Strung with full poly it's horrible.Marcos Ondruska

What was the theory behind micro? What was it supposed to do?

Ok, Liked Sadris attacking game, the Yfg30 was not bad... i got a chance to hit with one last year for fun...
Think Hank Pfister used it back in the day too.
And there is his Kary ace... may be black ace in his design?I have to mention Hans Kary
I am waiting for that now... My favorite is fiber ace, don't like silver ace at all, never play black ace. Is that black ace with Kary signatura???
