What are the best looking racquets? (Old and new models)

[VanDerVaart23]

Let's talk cosmetics
What would you say is the best looking racquet ? No matter the brand, no matter the model year.
What the paint job or your dreams?

Somehow I like the Pro Staff v12 black and white.

The new Wilson Blades in British Racing Green. Beautiful.

Looks cool, I feel it has some kind of Vintage look too.

1) Donnay X series (~2000)
2) Diadem Elevate series V3 ( blue )
3) Dunlop ( 2022-2023, all series )
4) Vantage ( custom, solid colors )
5) Prince Japan ( all series )

Assuming you have not seen a BRG 911 or the V9. V9 has blue hues with hints of teal.

Akin to Aston Marting Racing Green.

I haate being this guy btw.

I like the Strike VS.

The Diadem elevate blue is so elegant and makes and statement for sure

Couldn't find any Vantage image

Ultra V4 is one of the best looking racquets ever

So litmus, nice choice

It is basically like the current K7 series, but was also available in red and white.

Youtech Prestige and NCode lines are some of my favorite looking rackets of all time.

I gotta give props to Wilson for their latest likes. The blade, shift, ultra, and pro staff are beautiful

Kudos for N-Code those sticks were a real deal.

Agree with Wilson designs, they look so good, you missed the Clash, something about it's red colour makes it so good to me

I'm sorry. I saw the last thread about this was from 2017. I'll delete this one and just keep the old one in the forum. Sorry for the disturbance

@dr325i I can't find how to delete this thread

@dr325i can you play with me "how to delete a thread"?

 

[VanDerVaart23]

@dr325i please help me

 

[Alcawrath]

Hard to win on these threads. You're either criticized for resurrecting a dead thread or criticized for not finding a thread from years ago. Don't sweat it @VanDerVaart23 !

I feel it is easier to ignore a repeated thread than to write a reply like that. I don't know who made damage to @dr325i to be like that. I will actually consult him on every post to see if I'm not making a repeated comment

I just didn’t like it personally. Idk if it’s the beam shape but I didn’t find it aesthetically pleasing. Color is incredible, but on that frame I just didn’t like it. Might look better on the 98 version though

Just keep going man…no need to delete now that it’s rolling

All my favourites are from around 2015 to 2018 when most brands peaked with very simple and modern designs. Before there was not much beauty at all, and after this they mostly watered the same designs down to something boring.
1. PO7
2. Wilson Countervail era racquets
3. Prince Textreme racquets (black with different colors inside hoop)
4. Head 360 era (especially bright blue Instinct and bright yellow Extreme)

The original Prince Phantom series. Black with green just captured the classic Prince look from their heydays.

 

[Guttersnipe]

1. Babolat with its two white stripes (on a predominantly black) Frame is Iconic! And look the most aesthetically pleasing from a up close & far away.

2. Prince & Prince Japan have some great looking sticks (modern day phantoms, Japanese 2020 tour, Synergy 98, Twistpower 97)

3. Yonex are always doing their own thing and some are absolute bangers.
(2020 limited edition Vcore, Regna V2, Vcore Tour F, VCP HD (green)

4. Bridgestone & Toalson (Japanese rebranded Tecnifibre & Gamma)
Have some hidden gems that only hit the Japanese market (Forty love X, Arrow, delphino, astrisk along with countless BS X-Blades)

5. Donnay is a dark horse. There’s something special about them. Wish I could Get the BOGO deal to see what they like in hand

6. Wilson x Kith are 10/10 & the ‘Earth Day’ run were beautiful done

7. Dunlop maxply mcenroe 98 graphite from 2006 is perfect collision of retro & modern.

Original k7 red and lime. Also octane paint job on tc series

 

[Kemitak]

The clean yellow & black C10 Pro from 2019, before they barfed it all up again.

 

[Jashue]

Old people like myself might remember the Head Vilas. Gorgeous!
Also-- the Donnay Borg Pro was absolutely striking.
