What are your favorite racket cosmetics of all-time?

The latest Ki10 is a looker

love the detail inside the hoop

 

[McGradey]

This is a really nice one. Purple and green metallic, very '90s.

My bro still has the 95" complete with aire shell handle — which is cracked now. I'm not sure that does much to mitigate the extreme stiffness anyway, but it looks cool.
The racquet hits like a truck though, you can absolutely destroy serves with this thing.

Regna is just better than all, the way the braided graphite shines in the sunlight like a subtle snakeskin effect.

 

[Moon Shooter]

Head extreme nite. But i think i like the ine from post 146 more. The wilson prostaff with black and bronze are pretty nice too.

 

[Bisquick]

The Prince EXO3 Rebel was a good looking frame

Totally agree on the number 1.

It is the most beautiful for sure if you like this 80s inspired design. Especially with the thin beam / full cap MP version. The whole colour scheme and these fine details like the MP and G360+ logos in the throat with the shiny colour changing 80s glitter style are so sweet. I could forget playing tennis while holding the racket to the sun twisting it and enjoying the look.

1. Wilson nCode pro staff
2. HEAD Youtek prestige

I have both of these and the HEAD Youtek sure does look amazing. The red is very interesting. I'm not sure if it's my favorite, but the Babolat 30th anniversary is a really cool looking.

 

[BumElbow]

I like basic black racquets. It's playability that counts. Fancy - and often ridiculous - paint jobs are a turn-off.

 

[Irvin]

@BumElbow that’s the reason i like black prototype rackets.

Donnay Borg Pro: a dream

Head Vilas - form following function with the overlays and inserts at the top of the head.

 

[PistolPete23]

I actually love the cosmetic of the VCore Pro line before it became Percept. The throwback to early 90s tennis style was dope, and green combined with purple is [insert Chef’s kiss emoji]. Too bad I never liked Yonex Isometric head shape.

Best ever for me has to go to the PC600, and by direct association, the PC 2.0. It looks simple from afar, but close up you see the nuances of the gradation from one shade of red to another. Clean, elegant, and stunning all at once.

 

[Grafil Injection]

It's not hyperbole to say some rackets are too blingy. I find myself noticing the gold accents on my Rev Pro 90s in the follow through, rather than my opponent, quite often.

 

[emkayenaim]

Noticing tons of red-coloured frames, I'll add more.
