Looks like a serious copy of the PT630. Can you take some more photos of the grommets outside of the head of the racquet?

 

[mawashi]

Isn't this the stick Monfils is using?

 

[sixone90]

It's not a H22 or H19

It's more boxy than the PT630. It's similar in profile to the Pro Staff 90.

 

[Fed for Pope]

Whence did it come?

 

[SpinToWin]

I am guessing this is one of the early prototypes Fed played with (those also had 8 strings in the throat).

 

[kkm]

Anyone else notice that the grommet strips go the full width of the frame, around the whole hoop? not cap grommets that pull together when the strings are tensioned. nice!

 

[mawashi]

Hope they release it cos the PS 18x20 is a pretty weak offering.

 

[iceman_dl6]

Looks like a thinner beamed version of the H19 (19 mm vs 21 mm) because of the Prestige like "Y" throat.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

I wouldn't call that a box beam...

It is thinner, it has different throat.
As someone mentioned, looks like thinner H19.

 

[bert96]

how does it compare to a prestige?

 

[sixone90]

I wouldn't call that a box beam...

Then you wouldn't call the PS90 a box beam either? It may not come out well on the photos due to the reflection but it is definitely a box beam

 

[ShahofTennis]

That's one pretty racquet *drools

That beam is more Prestige than it is a Pro Staff. The beam on Prestige are slightly rounder, whereas the beam on Pro Staff 6.0 lineage frames are boxy with sharp edges. Prestige doesn't have sharp edges. So no, not a box beam.

I keep telling you the beam is like a PS90 yet you keep choosing to ignore it. I have many Prestiges, I know what I'm talking about.

 

[Roddickulous]

Looks like a waste of money. A thin, 18x20 will simply not make them any money.

it's a 16x19 genius.

 

[martini1]

So what is it? 98 sq in?

Hook, line and sinker lol!

That's cool! I wish Wilson would release it! Thanks for sharing!

Where did you find this thing? Does it look like a 97 or 98? I dig the thin box beam!

I'll vote with those who think this was one of the sticks Fed took a look at.

Or maybe they're trying to get Sampras back...

I'm not ignoring it, I'm letting the pictures tell me what kind of beam it is, and I don't qualify what you posted as box beam.

I grew up on Prestige Mids, I know what I'm talking about.

 

[West Coast Ace]

^^^^^ So how small do the fillets have to be to make it a 'box'? Do you have to be able to shave with it? @sixone90 knows what he's talking about.

Is this different from the one you got last year?

 

[sixone90]

Yes, completely.

 

[Roddickulous]

I just don't care either way. Thin beams are a thing of the past, too.

 

[MAXXply]

For compromise sake I'd describe it as somewhere between a box beam and flat beam; erring towards flat beam. The front edges pictured here aren't boxy enough.

IMO a true box beam would have the front edge widths nearly as wide as the beamwidth and not one-third the width as shown.

 

[mawashi]

Luckily no one cares what you think lol!

You will love this...

This racquet is for you...

 

[Crisp]

I reckon it's a volkl super g 9 made to look like a Wilson.

 

[ShahofTennis]

Its a flat beam like a Prestige Mid. There's not enough surface area at the front edge for it to be a Box Beam. But oh how I would love to play with it.

 

[Stringerman]

what ever it is. The guy that strung it knows what he is doing. No cross overs at all on frame.

 

[Stringerman]

to me it looks like a blacked out stick I have from German company called Topspin

Hahhahahaah! I'm wondering how many people on here, that aren't modelers or draftsmen know what that means (fillets)? That was funny though.

Thanks. Glad someone got it. I know there are a few mechanical engineers on this site. (although I've gone over to the dark, but lucrative, side of IT)

I think you're just cutting corner's with that one. LOL
