Puma top lady and top flex?

[teachingprotx]

Anyone seen or ever hit with these ?
@proracketeer is the only person I know that may have them or at least has pics of them .
They are similar to the puma Boris Becker frames if not exactly the same but different colors and maybe compositions ? I never saw any of them stateside . Don’t remember in the back of tennis magazines either but maybe

I have the Top Flex racket somewhere in storage sadly... in pretty much new condition. It is a deep red colored beauty. It doesn't have exactly the same shape as the Puma Becker rackets... instead of the bottom of the racket head forming a "v" shape it is a straight horizontal bar. The flame is incredibly flexy in the upper hoop as well, so I have to assume it has even more fiberglass in the composition. It is also a thin beamed box frame (about 17mm width). The bottom of the handle also has the signature weighting with the metal screw.

Thats all I can tell you for now...

Wow I never saw one with out w v in the throat before . Weight ? Approx ?

For the life of me I can’t find a pic of the puma flex racket which is basically shaped like the usual Pumas it’s shaped more like the puma top lady and top star I believe . Close to the super and winner but a bit dif. Not much tho , I think ..
I’m just trying to find the most flexible , lightest egg head shaped v throat racket ever made to be honest , don’t care what brand but don’t think there where any others beside the old Völkl and puma sticks , I’ve always been obsessed with that shape, for whatever reason . Was hoping the winner would be the best choice but it’s weight is crazy heavy and the flex isn’t near flexible Enuff for me . Which I know to most is crazy

what is “ 934 “?
Synchro light , I think I tried to buy one from eblaygermany but the postage was too expensive for me I bet that would have been the one too ! Damnit !

 

[proracketeer]

934

 

[teachingprotx]

Oh wow! The934 looks promising !
THANK YOU PRO!
What a beaut stick buddy !
Ok so let me pick your professional brain here if I may. The puma top flex . Does it have a bumper gaurd like the 934 as well ?
Wish we had the strung specs on both 934 and puma top flex?
Reason why as I always remove my bumper Gaurds to reduce weight ! It helps me get the rackets to get to my desired weights and balance tremendously ..
As I like my sticks to be as head lite as humanly possible .i know I’m weird and silly .

 

[proracketeer]

AFAIK the Top Flex has no bumper guard. (and is a very different mould compared to Winner,Super...)

 

[Racket Crazy]

Indeed the top flex has no bumper guard. And the head shape is different. Also the boxed beam is not as thick when viewed from the front of the racket. It is head light though, so that wont be an issue. Also not as heavy as the Becker rackets. I wont be able to get you pics of it or measure it till the end of the year though sadly... :-(

Thank you D!!
Yeah I wonder if your top flex with the straight throat is similar in weight and balance as the v throat too flex ? Guess no way to tell

1. Ask the seller!
2. From memory (!) It is not (much) lighter than super and feels/play different...

 

[teachingprotx]

Alright seller confirmed 345 strung !
Another source said RA is 42
@proracketeer does that sound correct ?

Again, this is just from memory and by no means exact:
weight sounds about right, but I doubt the high flex.

(those Top rackets originate in '88, beginning of widebody craze... from front beam is thinner than Winner/Super but from the side it is thicker (if I remember correctly))

 

[teachingprotx]

gotcha !
Yea I see what you mean on the bean shapes. And I’d be shocked if the puma top flex was under low 50’s I can see maybe 50 51 RA - not much lower

No speaking of Egg headed v throats there was a seller selling a Völkl light servo pro awhile back , but I think she maybe the ONE I need . It was ugly brown too , no matter as we will be sanding and re- painting it cherry red ! But will the weight be head light and will it be able to get down into the 10.5-11 oz strung is the question . I wish it had a servo light had a bumper Gaurd I could take off and reduce weight ! But I think it didn’t. I posted a pic of it here awhile back ,, but now can’t find the damn pic again .. argh
