TW's reissued Muscle Weave 200g frames with TW leather. Haven't restrung them yet. Dunlop Limited Edition Wimbledon bag from a few years back, and a brand spankin' new Dunlop Revelation 200g in 4 1/2 I found cheap on The Bay.
Never liked Dunlop. But those frames look sick.

You guys realize this thread has been going strong for NINE YEARS STRIAGHT. Anyways, I have two original Wilson Juice 100 rackets. They have Wilson leather grips on them covered with a Tournagrip. They are strung with Babolat Rpm Blast at 56lbs. I also have a Head liquid metal 8 racket with 20 grams of lead added at 3&9, that is strung with a babolat rpm blast/gamma stinger hybrid at 60lbs. It has the same grip as the two Juices. Then I have a yellow and black 6 racket Wilson bag. And I have an Aluminum Wilson Cobra from the early 80's. That is strung with Babolat Rpm Blast at 40lbs(very small head). And I want to post pics of my gear, can someone tell me how to take it from my gallery and put it in here?

WOW. Nice collection, and as Wilson plans to stop the 90 line, that could also be a precious collection some day.:twisted:
I've only played with the K90 as it's often claimed to be the best tour 90. Which one do you like best?

I have yet to find the N90 and the hyper prostaff tour 90.If i do, its a collection worth having.
from my experience, here is my opinion about the 4 90s that i have. i cant put a favorite on one of the rackets, however i do like them all since they have same plowthrough and precision that companies cant replicate.
(All of them are modded to my specs with leadtape and silicone in the handle)
K90: It has a crisp feel to it, but didnt encounter any discomfort what so ever. If your technique is right, this racket can be a deadly weapon with precision.
BLX Six.One Tour: As most people would describe it, its like a prostaff with a dampner. its pretty nice feeling if im not hitting really seriously. sometimes i take it out because i like the cosmetics and wear the oufit that federer had in US open 2011 (imo best outfit)
PS90BLX: Seems this racket retain that soft feel, but added little crispness, but not too much. its like right in the middle between the k90 and the 6.1 tour
PS90 2014: yet to with with it, but its like they stiffen the racket quite a bit

^^ Federer never used any descendants of the Pro Staff 6.1 Classic line. Fail.
And beyond the Pro Staff 6.0 85, everything is debatable.

Haven't been "collecting" a long time. A few of them in need of some proper TLC - and I haven't had the time lately.
Most of these I saved from being thrown out or picked up at garage sales for $1-3.

I must have a thing for blacked out frames
How is the Pure Control Tour compare to your Speed Pro and Pure Drive ?

Compared to my pure drives, the pure control tour weighs more, has a higher swingweight, is more flexible, and has a denser string pattern. All of this leads to a flatter, heavier ball and I feel much more control (haha) from this frame. It also stands up well against harder hitters, and you are rewarded for taking full confident swings.
Compared to the speed pro, it's very similar, except I find it has a lot more stability and spin potential. It's also a lot more comfortable as it is more flexible and I can definitely feel a "give" when hitting the sweetspot. It's easier to hit deep and through the court with the PCT whereas with the speed pro I often found myself hitting short.

I find the Speed Pro to be very dead the 1 month I hit with it, and I am curious to try out the PCT for an extended demo test in the future. Thanks for the feedback !!!!!!!!

A dream. Once I really let the racket do more of the work, (vs. with a Pure Drive) I really have felt dialed in hitting all types of serves.

Kal,
If I may ask, what's the difference between the euro ig speed pro and the regular ig speed pro?

that there was no regular IG Speed Pro. The IG Speed Pro was a Europe only release.

correct there is no IG speed pro
the ones i have are the pro stock version of the euro IG (softer flex)
thinner beamed
cap grommets
rounded headshape
no shared holes
awesome rackets
you can see in this pic the IG one.. they def. didn't make this frame in a G paintjob, so these are true PJ rackets

I see, how does it play compared to the regular ig speed pro?
I'm sorry I mean the Speed MP 18x20

Some Pro Staff 95 2014 that I got a couple weeks back, w/ TW Leather Grips and 8-12 grams of lead under grommet at 11-12-1 o'clock region.

different. the euro one is typically very stiff, though these play on the softer side IMO
i havent got it to the RDC to measure everything yet though
more control the the 18x20 but still has some good pop. its really thin beamed with a full cap grommet. it is an absolut spin monster and really good around the net

I see you have played with the speeds. Which retail speed in your opinion plays the best?

In order of use and importance.
My main racket and go to when I'm playing serious ball/tournaments/league:
1.)Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet 110
The others listed I play sometimes at more serious events or just to have fun
2.)Prince O3 Red
3.)Head Extreme S (A suggestion from here that just felt great)
4.)Warrior 100ESP LS (I upgraded to this as my most consistent 100 sqincher)
5.)EXO3 Warrior 100 (It was also a suggested stick when I asked this board what I should look to use that wasn't oversized)
6.)Prince Premier 115 with rebuilt handle that is hard to be consistent with
7.)AeroPro Drives - hurt my forearm pretty badly hitting a smash with one of these and I just take them out for a spin. My sister is a APD'r and I got these when she replaced hers.
8 and 9 were experimental choices. 8.) Wilson Blade 98 and 9.)Prince O3 Speedport tour 97sqincher
They're the only "players" rackets that I've had any success with.
As you can tell I love the Prince O3 line. A LOT.

close up of the retail graphene pattern vs. the pro stocks that i got
vs it is interesting though that the graphene pattern is also like this on the rev pros i got no?
I see the extra 0.000001 gram of graphene in the retail racquet
