It's the WST Kevlar Pro.
I used to have one. Lost it a while back...

I always wanted the Donnay Academy Pro MP. Never tried one and the stiffness would probably wreak havoc on my wrist but they were awfully purdy.

so this is the mp, i remember that the Os version was a 110 sq. inc.This one appears to be the same mold of the Donnay Formula Pro 97 sq.in.

Yeah, could very well be. But they don't play in the same league as the thin beamed ones...

I swear my eye spots a playboy bunny stencil in that group of frames :shock:

Dino, How many sticks do you have? I have 14 and thought I was a racquet junkie lol. You clearly have me beat!
I love testing frames and different strings and tinkering. It's fun.

You can totally trust your eyes. I used to stencil my racquets like that for a little while many years ago...
I have like 330 racquets. I realize that's quite a few, but my aim has never been to get as many as possible, but to enjoy trying different racquets out. Especially graphites from the 80s and 90s. Also, I've got these frames over a period of 15 years, so that's only about two per month on the average.
There are people on here who've got thousands, so they've clearly got me beat...

The Biomimetic 300 Tour is one of the best looking frames I've seen in a while.

Have you hit with all of them? If you had to chose your favorite which one would it be?

pro stock pro one 18x20 next to a retail pro one 18x20

The paint is probably the closest thing to the retail pro one

James Blake's and Donald Young's racquets.
Blake's racquet has dual core construction and is very stiff (68-69RA). Stock weight is 310g, but it doesn't play well until leading up to 350g. The retail Pro One 18x20 plays much easier at lower weight.
Young's racquet has a softer feel compared to Babolat Pure Drive 2012, but not as comfortable as Donnay Formula 100.

Is it just me or does the Y in the blade look huge?

No, not all of them. There are a few woods and metals that I haven't played with. Also I have some unstrung NOS, that I obviously haven't played either. Apart from that there may have been a few others that have gone under the radar. A guesstimate would be that I have hit with at least 250 of my racquets.
My favorite? That's a very hard question, and I don't think I could pick just one. So here's my top-12, in no particular order:
Rossignol FGC
Puma Davis Cup (From the Super mold)
Fischer Vacuum Elliptic Pro
Head PT630
Head PC600
Head Radical Tour 630 ( 1998 )
Yonex Super-RD Tour 90
Yonex RD-7
Donnay Pro Ceramic
Donnay Pro International
Dunlop Max400i
Völkl C10 Comp Mid

I played some 30 matches in 2012. In about half of those, I guess, I played with the Head Radical Tour 630 ( 1998 ).

I don't think it's any larger than the previous versions' throats. I think it's also normal of the blade to have a bit of a longer throat, but it causes the handle to be shorter which is annoying at first for a 2HBackhand.
Wilson claims it's their 15 pack, but it's probably mopre comparable to a 9 pack or a 12 pack. I really like this bag, it's a great size- not too big but no too small. Like the previous version of this bag, it is more narrow on the top and then widens at the bottom, which looks sharp. It has moisture and temp guard, and also 4 accessory pockets. On top of it all, the color scheme is really classy.
Overall really happy with it.

I got another set of twins! Will be stringing them up probably in a month or so to prep for the spring season.

Heavy. They're both 320 grams unstrung with the plastic wrap still on.
My RDS 003's are both 321 grams strung with overgrip and dampener. RDiS 100 MP are both 342 grams strung with overgrip and dampener.

Definitely a great looking bag, I just bought a much needed replacement and got the 9 racquet one. You say the 15 is more like 12? Hopefully that doesn't mean the 9 is actually a 7, that's a little too small...
