What is the history of this mold? Who's mold is it originally and what rackets are made of this mold? All i know the mold is called PT205. Just curious.
TF 320/335 mold history?

Well all I know is that it's got a very similar mold to the Dunlop M-fils? Well, at least one of the series of Dunlop...

Thanks Kevin T
So it's not originally a Dunlop mold, right? Are the old 325 and 320/335 are made of the same mold? Also, is the Major Bullit Elite the first racket from that mold and how old is it anyway? I tried to search but found pretty much nothing about the racket or the PT205 mold.
Technifibre 325/335 & MAJOR racquets
Here are some pictures of MAJOR/Technifibre T35 mold..
They are made in Taiwan.
For me, TFight 335 18x20 is the best one within the current Technifibre line up.. I have not played with the VO2 one yet.. It hit & feel similar to PRO Tour 630 even it's a little bit smaller shape 97 square inch..
Here is the overlay of an TFight 335 18x20 & Major MID
Here is the overlay of an TFight 325 18x20 and PRO TOUR 630.. It's almost identical mold or it is identical mold.. I am planning to CAP this racquet to make it's more stapple and alittle bit heavier.. All of these new racquets have emptied/hollow/plastic feeling when you hit the ball.. and yeah it hurt the arm abit compare to the older racquets..

I enjoyed the Major T35 the most. I grew up playing midsize or smaller head heavy racquets so Major T35 is stable and heavy enough for my strokes.. TFight 335 18x20 is a good racquet but alittle light for me and I feel the hollow/plastic thing when I hit the ball..

WOW! Does the TF335 18x20 really feel similar to PT630? That is great!

I bought a Major Bullit Elite D ti from Thailand in 2000 and it was a current model. I believe that particular mold was at least 2-3 years old, though. It was basically the same headsize/frame shape as the Head Pro Tour 280/630 but .25" longer and with a 16x19 pattern and played a little stiffer. Many members of the TW board where buying them from this guy at that time. I believe he stopped doing mail order in 01 or 02. It's a shame because you could get those Majors for $80 shipped and strung with your choice of Tecnifibre strings from Thailand!! I bought a Major Xone from him when they first came out for $110 shipped! Wish he was still around (and the US dollar was still as strong).

So are they still available for sale in Taiwan jetlee2k? Is there a reliable source from which to buy them? [my email address is stjam@hotmail.com if you would like to email me the info..]
no.. the racquets are made in Taiwan.. It was for sale in France not in Taiwan.. I got the racquets from some guy in French about 2 years ago..

Hi Kevin,

That guy stopped selling online in 01-02. I think it had something to do with licensing, etc., and he moved on to another business. I believe it was called Planet Sport but if you Google that these days, a host of other businesses pop up. He also carried Unsquashable squash frames and Talbot/Torro table tennis. He was a very friendly guy and like I mentioned, would get the racquet from Thailand to your door in ~ 1 week. A lot of TW guys were buying the frames but I believe M. Chaho/ProTour630 is the only other guy still around that may have purchased from him.
Edit:
Did a search for the Major Bullit Elite and found some old TW threads. The guys name was Hajo Von Keller and if you Google him, you'll find that he owns/operates a small resort/spa in Phuket, Thailand. He's on Facebook and linkedin, so maybe try and contact him? It's possible he has some stock lying around.
