Post Pictures of your Racquets and Tennis Gear

Amazing collection. You're missing a 2014 PS90, though I guess that's why you have an extra 2013.

It's sad that it never saw any TV time due to his injured season and switch to the larger 97. Because the 2014 Pro Staff 90 was easily the best version of the 90. It took them almost a decade, but with the 2014, they finally nailed the feel of the 6.0 85 into the frame of the 90.

I was able to get one to hit with before the release and agree with you @Say Chi Sin Lo

Hello @what_army
Federer played with a Pro Staff 85 painted with the Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 Silver W Graphic for a short period. The racquets are laid out in order that he first used that specific graphic. Here is an article by Jonathan of peRFect tennis that gives great detail of his racquet history https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.perfect-tennis.com/the-many-racquets-of-roger-federer/amp/

Yes, just Google Federer Hyper Prostaff and browse for images. One of threads you'll find is this one: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/federers-racquets-and-pjs-history.214291/

Understood, I've seen old videos of him with the Hyper Carbon paintjob, I was simply wondering whether he'd ever played with the 6.1 mold.

Found this old Slazenger Phantom Tour Kevlar Braided under the stairs, theres a lot of old stuff under there. Strung with a full bed of Duraflex and played a little kitchen tennis with it and feels great. 332 strung with that old rubber band on. Having this strung with Max Power at 50 and take it out on the courts when social distancing is relaxed - see how it really performs. Don't know the RA but felt like it flexed in throat a tad even in short court. Hope it turns out to be a gem.

I played with these as a junior, I ended up breaking them all and moved to the Ti.Radicals fuelling my love for Head rackets.

I bloke called Tim liked them too, perhaps in paintjob form though:

Broke out the old ProStaff 95s yesterday for fun. Still not a forgiving stick at all. It is precise and golden when you hit the sweet spot, but anything off even a bit has to be manhandled to hit through.

Any better, should be a picture of Mr Henman playing with it (albeit in paintjob form) at Wimbledon 1998?
Sorry no - it's probably my rubbish Samsung phone - will check on the laptop later. Didnt realise Henman used the Phantom Tour always thought he used the pro staff imitating Pro Braided or Pro Graphite.

Getting it strung up with full bed of Max Power and taking it out when the social distancing is relaxed.

Intrigued to know how you broke your old Phantoms?

No problem, I believe he used Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1 mold without PWS, as a custom frame that Slazenger produced.

Here’s the picture;


I smashed a few by letting go of them whilst serving, I was constantly in my parents bad books as a junior lol.

Sounds like my sons who play are still playing now. They've smashed a few in the heat of the moment and cost me a bob or two.

I still think Wilson missed an opportunity for never releasing a 12oz/340gram Pro Staff 95, with a traditional 16x19 pattern.

(Sorry, those Spin string patterns just never made sense to me)
