Really? Did they have cut out "P" in grey also?Wait, I found one, but it's grey and in L5. A little scuffed up around the edges.

@Ultra 2, I have a 640 as well, 95", 16x20, 28". Plays stiffer than the Chang Ti's.
LOLIs this comment for my racket or something else![]()
So I shook the neglected racket tree and this fell out.. didn't even realize I had it. What is this thing? Probably produced during my sabbatical of playing tennis. 16x20 pattern.. looks like a POG.. sort of.

This is how it looks on mine... The background is filled by a paper with small "prince" logotypes. I like it, quite cool design
Probably a lot...back in the early 80's it was a flagship $400 productDefinitely cool. The "p" is clearly cut-out, as opposed to the molded one on my '87.
It would be interesting to know how much cost played in the switching of designs...

Hey, where are you located? Perhaps one of us is local, or near to you, and can assist.God this thread is old like me, lol. I’ve got about 20+ POGs of varying ages, some are brand new, I guess what they call “new/old stock”. Anyone have any idea what these might be worth? I hate the idea of selling my old racquets, but after 2 back surgeries I guess I need to be realistic and pass these beauties on to someone who will appreciate them (hopefully someone does). I’ve also got a great stringing machine, tons of string, and a Tennis Tutor ball machine in perfect condition. Any ideas (besides ****) on what to do with this stuff? I’ve thought about donating everything to my local high school but tennis has just about died around here (small town) and I hate to think about my stuff sitting in a corner some where.
I buy and sell tennis stuff. I used the POG 90 for many, many years. EDay is the easiest place to sell but there are many places like OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc.God this thread is old like me, lol.

Please do send me the photos of your POG's, I am particularly interested in 3rd generation (one stripe, bumper, grommets, ideally cut out butt cap)I listed some (4?) POG OS frames on the auction site last summer with starting bids at $20. After about 6 re-listings and not selling them they sit in my closet.
Ordered another POG OS from TW with unstrung SW of 298. Cannot wait to string it up and hit!

Yeah, strange? I only had a PCG 100s that had such low SW...That’s a very, very low swingweight. I’d probably like that!
How’d it end up so low?
It actually might be right, when I slap some numbers into the TW work sheet, says stung SW about 325ish...SW sounds about right unstrung, no?

As mistapooh said, it’s about right unstrung. Strings add about 25-30 points of SW.SW sounds about right unstrung, no?

298 unstrung SW is about 325-330 strung, which is indeed low compared to TW listed average sw of 336. It was a custom order and TW went through their inventory to find one that closest matched my desired unstrung specs. 298 was the lowest they could find. The next lowest were 304, 306 (L3). My other POG OS is 295 unstrung. These are my ideal specs.
Swingweight is a relatively new spec for me to study. When it’s listed under the specs category for racquets, is that the strung or unstrung spec?
@Ultra 2 , Now you have me interested, 6 plugs? I have seen these plugs but never 6 and my replacement filler seemed to "lacking." I think I will take all my POG OS and 90 grips off and take a look at plug numbers. I've had other rackets that I remember cutting that had steel rods embedded in the hairpin, causing me some surprise when using the hacksaw. Makes the discussion of QC in modern rackets sort of moot when folks complain about +/- 7g.
@Ultra 2 , Not only is the number of plugs interesting but the location (balance) as well. I grossly drilled some out one time, but I wonder if those plugs can be driven out with a punch? Then weigh one or as many as possible. Imagine how time consuming it would have been to weigh/balance each racket and then insert plugs at the right spot. This doesn't even address vibration or RA factor. P.S. that is the same scale I use![]()
I just recently realized about the plugs. bought a pog and felt rattling in the handle. there was a loose plug. it went through the handle, is that ok? Now there is just a hole where it was. is only in pog 1 stripes? haven seen it in the 4 stripes or the tour we have at home.Interesting. I have a POG 1 stripe that weighs 11.2 ounces strung without a grip.. and this one has 6 lead plugs in the handle! Wonder how light this one will be once I remove those..
