How/where did you get an aerogel test racket???

I am playtesting for TW

 

[knasty131]

I remember that you got sponsored...do you play for any college or anything? Because you seem to be quite the tennis player

 

[joe sch]

Can I join?

I have a Jack Kramer Pro Staff ...

I also love the JK PS especially with 15..15L gut strung 45..50 lbs. The wilson advantage is another great playing stick. As for the other pro staffs, the ps 60 the best, the 6.1 is another classic, the the tour 90 is another great addition to this family.

lol....no, just league. I had a scholarship years ago, but I chose baseball instead. Ended up blowing my pitching elbow and took a leave of all sports for a long time. Several years back I climbed up to around a 5.5-6.0 rating, blew same elbow. Once again left tennis again, back at it again. Now I am back to a 4.5, and I teach around 20 kids and teens tennis at no charge. I am now 32 and plan on peaking at a 5.0 rating, don't quite move like I use to. I believe they feel that I can market their products.

 

[d_techie]

count me in...
I have 2 PS 6.1 classic and 1 Asian PS tour 90...
but I havent use it for quite long time now....

 

[La Bomba]

I have a Wilson Prostaff Tour 90 (my main stick) strung at 62lbs with Big Banger Original, 2 Wilson Ncode 95 16x18 at 67lbs with BB original, and a Wilson PS Original 95 that I am going to sell.

 

[milo]

i have 2 n6.1 tour and ps tour 90 all of the with syn gut at 60lbs.

 

[travlerajm]

I still love my PS 4.7 EB Stretch 115" frames. I played them stock from 1998-2005, strung at about 70 lbs with Problend - IMO it's the best stock racquet ever made. Solid all around performer - very good for hammering down huge kick serves. It's specs are unique (68 RDC, 346 SW, 10.3 oz. strung, 27.75").

I have one set up at 365 SW and 12.6 oz that I break out when I want to play Sampras-style, with penetrating groundies, booming flat serves and precision volleys.

1 X N6.1 Tour 90 strung with Poly Plasma @55lb

Wow, that is one unique racquet, sounds like it took you a lot of time to setup those specs!

I know their not Prostaffs but I wanted to show the woodies:

Email me about your PS Original 95, please: jeff@crosswordbible.com

 

[jdeloach]

Nice racquets Tour 90! You need to trade me one of those nSix 90 for one of my Tour 90...

 

[Tour 90]

I don't know about that, I love the n90's. Sorry!

 

[jdeloach]

I don't know about that, I love the n90's. Sorry!

I know....I was kidding! Your racquets look nice, great pics.

 

[Tour 90]

Thanks! Yours look nice as well

[federer_nadal]

PSP2, how did you get the PS85 with tour 90 PJ? Are you sponsored? or just buy it?

 

[VGP]

When were those PS 85 with Tour 90 pj made?

You are now the official leader of the prostaff club
nothing else to say except










how much would you sell that pj for?


Just kidding, very nice stuff!

 

[psp2]

I bought the PS85 pj racquet from someone. I believe they were sold by TW at one point.

BTW, I have a "ForSale" ad in the Sale/Trade section. I'm not married to the racquet and will sell it for the right price.

 

[federer_nadal]

have you, or anyone tried a PS 6.0 95 with the SW2 set up?

 

[Borat]

Hey guys.... I had a question. what would you guys reccomend? NCode Tour 90 Asian spec or Prostaff tour 90 Asian Spec?

 

[drakulie]

Sorry! No close-up of the PS 85.

 

[federer_nadal]

so, uh, you, err, like those shoes eh?

 

[Tennis Man]

1 PS 85 Early China
1 PS 85 Taiwan
1 PS 85 new TW
1 PS 85 SV
4 PS 90
1 PS 90 Asian (coming)

 

[psp2]

I'll post the remainder of my ProStaff collection. I'm still missing the elusive Pro Staff 6.0 90 Midplus.

 

[drakulie]

so, uh, you, err, like those shoes eh?

Yeah, I bought a bunch for about $25 each when they were discontinued. LOL

 

[psp2]

have you, or anyone tried a PS 6.0 95 with the SW2 set up?

Gawd No. I'm not a baseline basher at all. I prefer being up at the net to finish a point, so I prefer a fairly high HL balance and a SW around the mid 330s.

 

[federer_nadal]

Thats an awesome price, the name eludes me at the moment, but i know many many people love them.

 

[drakulie]

The Nike Oscillates. They are now being sold again. TW has them.

 

[federer_nadal]

I find my POG mid and Mfil 300 volley better with SW2, reflex volleys dont lose effectiveness beause what you lose in manouvreabiltiy you gain in solidity at the net, meaning your shot will be more effective if you get a racquet on it. Everyone has their own opinion on it thougt, just because i like it, doesnt mean you have to.

 

[VikingSamurai]

Mind if I joined in.. I just got my 2 new nPro Staff 95's.. Some people have told me they were not a great stick.. But I love them..

do you mean the nps 95?

then virtually all ncode rackets with a PS word on the tip of the head are considered "prostaffs".

95 you mean?

 

[VikingSamurai]

Yes nPS95. And I guess you are right on the second one! They all do have that PS on the top of the frame..

 

[psp2]

95 you mean?

No. I have those. I'm missing the 90 version.

 

[tennis_hand]

No. I have those. I'm missing the 90 version.

are there even 6.0 original 90s?

 

[federer_nadal]

I have a feeling that is what federer is using. Or something very similar

 

[andreh]

I play with PS85

Setup: Stock. Not even an overgrip and definietly no d*mn lead to make the sweetspot larger.

 

[nickb]

I play with 4 n90's strung with NXT Tour. Great sticks!

 

[tennis_hand]

who on the tour plays with an n90? not even Fed.
Fed just played its paintjob.

 

[federer_nadal]

Oh yeah? Because we all have to play with racquets that pros use right?

 

[nickb]

"who on the tour plays with an n90? not even Fed.

That is one of the most ridiculous posts i have seen on this board and from someone with over 1000 posts. I play with n90's becuase i like them not becuase fed used the paintjob, ever heard of demoing. I suppose you just copy what the pros do, what stick you using: a pure drive roddick strung with pro hurricane tour and gut?

Amen to that!

 

[Tour 90]

psp2, can you email me at PeterSobran@comcast.net
Tried yours but it didn't work! Still interested in the racquet!

 

[kenc9265]

I own 9 PS tour 90

I seem to play with pro staff all my life starting with the 85 original back when my hero was Edberg, Sampras, courier, Conner (he played with PS briefly) and so many other players. I switch to PS tour 90 in 2003 and still using it today. There is a mystic about pro staff racquet. Once you play with it for so long there is no other racquet comes close for replacement. I now understand why Sampras play with his PS until retired.

My String:

17g – Natural Gut – Tonic at 60lbs
