Worst looking current racquet you've seen?

Is this the NXG everyone is referring to?
I think it looks pretty nice. Reminds me of a John Deere tractor.

Pink!? You really should see one first. Its wood-colored. A lot of folks think it IS wood the first time they see it.

Think more along the lines of "old caucasian woman trying to retain her youth with a bronze spray on tan" sort of color.

Edited for spelling (I am supposed to be a teacher).


LOL at your color description. Funny. :)

I held one, and saw several yesterday, and am still baffled by their FUGLINESS, but I was chuckling inside cuz I just kept thinking about this thread.

BTW, I promise to demo one, and try to like it..... if you guys let me make fun of them a little more ok? ;)

What a coincidence. You're right Newberry. A guy down at the park thought I was swinging around an old caucasian woman. I had to explain to him that it was a tennis racquet.

Homecourt, go ahead and make fun of it to your heart's content. Just don't let my racquet hear it. It thinks it's beautiful. I sort of told it that...

PedrosCousin,

Here's the deal: I'll stop poking fun at your racquet if you stop talking to it. OK? ;)

That sounds like a fair deal. Let me confer with my racquet and we'll get back to you on that.

I don't care about it trying to look wooden, the Maxply is the worst. It prevents me from giving it an honest look.

Now, to say the late 80s 200G is ugly is wrong -- that was a sweet racquet. It had a little Green Lantern appeal -- which was great for those of us watching the Justice League but hated the WonderTwins. Why did they get so much air time?????

I dont particularly like those Power Angle racquets. It's not that they look hideous, its just that they look so incredibly bland. I know cosmetics aren't of any importance but a little bit of effort would have been nice.
