Someone said similar when I posted it in another thread. There’s another K2 frame on the bay overseas, don’t know if that’s also based on a prince frame.
The two that are in the middle of the photo are ProClassic 98 +1.5cm Pro Stock (see here). Made for Andrey Golubev, back when he used Fischer (think the's changed to Head now...still playing doubles). I love them...for ~ 20 minutes. Then my shoulder dies on me. Just too heavy for me to swing anymore.
Yep, same mold as the Pro Tours then , which were from that PC 98 Revolution too. I may be wrong but didn't those Golubev frames have a 18x20 string pattern? I'm curious to know how they play -- dying shoulder apart. Do you have full specs?
I think they maybe slightly different in that they have a spine in the throat, making them a bit stiffer. They are 16x20. Here's the specs for the hairpin:
Pristine condition! And classic logos on strings too
I also am a stickler for a period correct head logo on the strings!Pristine condition! And classic logos on strings too
If only...
Yep and HEAD was making his rackets for him. I have one of his world champion racquets that was made by HEAD.
The new bigger ski tip logo fits perfectly on the mid’s
I'm pretty sure it does, I meant, something in the timeline would have gone wrong with a 2006 logo on a 1991 racket.
Oh my local pro shop once put the current head logo on my old Ti Radical and I immediately went home and scrapped it off because it’s not period correct.I'm pretty sure it does, I meant, something in the timeline would have gone wrong with a 2006 logo on a 1991 racket.
I think several Twintec models had that. The 1250 I had did.What was the name of the Fischer frame that had a rubber bit between the throat parts, and down the handle? Now reincarnated as pacific nexus and raptor.
Wasn't it Spice? My GF has one, very nice PJ.What was the name of the Fischer frame that had a rubber bit between the throat parts, and down the handle? Now reincarnated as pacific nexus and raptor.
Which model is this? It looks to be from the Edge mould.I found this one very recently. I have to clean it up first but it looks in very good condition considering its age. Will post better pics if anyone's interested.
Had this racquet.
You mean that Volkl is out of ski business now? I think the company still produce skis.
No, what I mean is the tennis company has no affiliation with the ski company. That the tennis company pays the ski company for the right to use the name on racquets.
thanks VS - just seen this thread and understood the name of this thread.
Ok. But Head Ski and Head Tennis also are two different companies.
No, HEAD racket sports and HEAD Ski are part of one company, HEAD Sport. In fact they’re even out of the same corporate center in Kennelbach, Austria.
Ok. But Head Ski and Head Tennis are also two different companies.
Ok, maybe, but originally it was the same situation with Volkl.
No, SAME COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it used to be Völkl Ski and Tennis. No more!! Has not been that way since 1992. In 1993 Völkl Ski started licensing out the Völkl name for tennis rackets. Currently Völkl Tennis is located in San Diego, California. At one point Boris Becker owned Völkl Tennis and that was a disaster.
OK, thank you, sorry, think there were two different companies. In this way Head is the only one ski/tennis company now? I don't know if Kneissl is still producing some racquets or not.
It was that period when Volkl made Boris Becker racquets? Seems that Boris couldn't manage any business, though the BB racquets were good. Brilliant tennis player but not a business person.
Don't have current info, several years ago they were still in business, i have several pairs myself, very good skis.
Where are the better pics?I found this one very recently. I have to clean it up first but it looks in very good condition considering its age. Will post better pics if anyone's interested.
Coming soon.
Here they are. All wiped-up racket this time. Have to say that it's in pristine condition. Leather grip is a mess but it can be fixed easily.
That’s pretty! Looks like an Edge mold. From the Butt-cao sticker. I’d date it about 1987.Here they are. All wiped-up racket this time. Have to say that it's in pristine condition. Leather grip is a mess but it can be fixed easily.
NicoMK- have you hit with it? If so how does it play? Also, looks like the grip is a 1/2 or 5/8?@serveandvolE Seems that you've guessed it right
No sorry, I haven't. I guess it's super soft.
Hit some balls with it!
NeverI'll do it.
Have you ever tried it?
