Done !
Estusa Boris Becker AdvantechWhat kind of racquets are those? They look old yet new. They have the head shape of a Kneissl.
There is nothing wrong with that as long as voices don't talk backNo offense intended but it seems you’re usually talking to yourself
Suddenly I feel the urge to play a game of checkers
Wow! Where did you find those!?
Aww man .. see that’s what I’m talking about . I think that is what it’s all about . Love that Tony.I have a similar story. The dude is on here, in this thread even. Sent me a racquet that I treasure for different reasons.
I wrote the seller an email explaining to him about how these are my all time dream rackets . Must have been a 3 page homage letter .. kinda embarrassing looking back . I let it all out to man , super thick. But all true ... he was so cool about it he let me pay in installments even over few days just to be nice and threw in 2 for free . I was shocked . Such a great dude . JENS Dinglbacher! If your out there I love you buddy !,,
Wow great post ! I agree .I started watching tennis because of Boris. I rooted for him since 1990 when he lost his Wimbledon final against Edberg, till the end of his career. It was disaster in 1991 final against his country man Stich where he cried like a teenager during the match and showed the worst body language whatever can imagine.
It was cool to see him as AO winner again in 1996 where he beat Chang in the final. But that's was his last Trophy.
These rackets are good to have just as good memory.
Shaolin !! Well I’m gonna only use two for the next few years the other 4 , as I have 6 in all .
Kinda confusing so let me explain .
So when this deal started to take shape I asked the seller if I may get one of them now. Just to make sure it’s what I think it is .
You see it’s the GLM version, which by all accounts is an inch shorter . Perfect for me . Also it’s WICKED FLEXIBLE. Waaaaaaaaau waaaaay more than the others ..So .
I got the one .and used it to make sure it was gonna be a good fit and it blew my expectations outta the water .
Shaolin ? Where are you at again ? Location?
Spent a couple years in Lawrence for grad school. Was there in 1988 when Danny and the Miracles won a national championship. Nice city, but the summers were brutal with the heat and humidity. We would wait to play tennis until the sun went down and the temperature dropped below 90 degrees. Anxiously waiting to see how the situation with the NCAA gets resolved.Lawrence KS, home of the Jayhawks![]()
I hate to do it but they are still 12 oz strung up and I flat out cant handle the weight . But when I paint them I can get them well into my weight zone for feeding and hitting with a weak shoulder and wrist problems.Why would you paint any of them?
I was trying to read up on it but could not find any background info. Can you please tell what happened with the NCAA? I can't see any info on mens tennis for KU only womens pops up so I'm guessing they either scratched their mens program or maybe suspended it?Spent a couple years in Lawrence for grad school.

I apologize for any confusion, but the situation with the NCAA has to do with men's basketball and to a lesser extent football. I am unaware of any tennis related issues.I was trying to read up on it but could not find any background info. Can you please tell what happened with the NCAA?

Ok thank you for clarifying.I apologize for any confusion, but the situation with the NCAA has to do with men's basketball and to a lesser extent football. I am unaware of any tennis related issues.

@tennisgurl I was about to post and see tha @Shaolin beat me to it. KU men's team was cut back in 2001. I know this because I started my undergrad that year and had been hunting for tennis scholarships and that was big news (ultimately got in a DII school in south central). They have only had women's tennis since then.
Thanks Shaolin, will do!I used to hit with the mens coach then. Talked to him the day the program got cut. Bummer to say the least. KU has a beautiful indoor facility now though, drop by if you are ever in Lawrence![]()
They're beautiful. Are you gonna play with them? And these ones, if I may, you should not repaint...yahoo! Yes all brand new estusa pro van techs wrapper still on them , from Germany .. the shipping was expensive but totally worth it . I would never normally buy 5 rackets at once . But I knew another deal like this would never ever come around again . Also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met in all my dealings with sticks over the years . So nice in fact we are now buddies , so Cool , so super fortunate .. Once in a lifetime and these are my dream sticks . I’ve never been this excited about a tennis racket ever .came with full length cases and there own estusa stencils.
You really are making me want to try that plush beautiful beast!
Hahaha they are in fact JUNIORS ! They are stock 26 models .@teachingprotx - I can't image those will be your racquets for life - they're not junior's racquets and they aren't 26.5", lol
Perfect! What a deal lolHahaha they are in fact JUNIORS ! They are stock 26 models .
These are the estusa pro van tech GLM version..
That’s why it’s so amazing that I found these .. my dream stickI never even knew these were ever even made !
Much to my disbelief that they can’t be all that good but they are incredible . Super soft sticks . So flexible indeed I think they may be 100% fiberglass . So know one should be envious as I’m the only person on the boards that actually really in my daily tennis life play with 26 JR sticks
That is why I’m so super jazzed about these![]()
