Wood Racquets

[Ash Doyle]

I have a three part question about wood racquets:

1. Are there any websites that give the specs of old wood racquets?

2. What currently made racquets most closely resemble the specs of an old wood racquet?

3. Do any companies currently produce a wood tennis racquet?

...and just for the record, my interest in wood racquets is totally trivial. I don't see current racquets as inferior.

I haven't heard of any. Woodtennis.com will give you a look at several, but not the specs. I don't recall RDC ever being discussed back in the 70's or early 80's. Cayman rackets are probably the most flexible. ProKennex makes the Core 1 series, which uses wood in the spine of these rackets.
