The Frame Game

[ekucheraw]

Played a match the other night against a friend a bit lower rated than I and we came up with a fun twist on the Gun Game from First Person Shooter games. I'm sure we're not the first to do this but it certainly is a blast!

You start with your primary racquet but each game you win you must change to a different stick, bonus points for going to more difficult or lower quality sticks.

And so I ask to you: fill your Frame Game Bag! What racquet are you starting with and what racquet do you have to serve out with at 5 games? Example listed below, have some fun!

0-0: Wilson H22
1: Angell TC97
2: Fischer Vacuum Pro 90
3: Prince Precision Mono
4: Adidas Barricade Tour Light (in my opinion one of the worst modern racquets ever made)
5: Wilson T2000
6/breaker: Functional Tennis Saber

1: Ezone Ai98
2: Ezone 98 2022
3: Ezone 100 2022
4: Ezone Xi98

Don't want 'bonus points'. Want win.

Why aren't you using the other yonex colours of the same frame

Can we switch to the same frame but different strings or mods?

I like where your head’s at, go for it!

I asked only because I don’t have that many different frames ☺️

0 - PS X with Gut/Poly
1 - PS X with Poly
2 - Shift 99 with leather grip & poly
3 - HPS Tour 95 with poly
4 - PS 6.0 95 with gut/poly
5 - Pro Stock PS 6.0 95 18x16 with gut/poly
6 - PS85 with gut/poly

Funny thread! I think what would be even better is if you force your opponent to use whatever variety of frames that you yourself have brought! As such, the T2000, T5000, and a bunch of wood racquets would come into play. Haha...

Because I believe it when marketing suits who've never probably even held a racquet tell me that each iteration of a certain model is 'different' . . . . wait, hang on.
