So, there you are. As i promised, im presenting you one of the most unique rackets in my huge collection.
This racket was the diamond part of Anatoly Lepeshin's collection. He was Kafelnikov's coach from 1991 till 1997. In his interviews Kafelnikov mentioned that the main builder of his success was Lepeshin. Now this racket-treasure is in my hands.
This racket was exclusively made and customized for a new (by that time) Fischer star – Yevgeny Kafelnikov. You can see Fischer Pro Stock trademark - aka nail mark at the throat area.
KJ23 = Kafelnikov Jevgeny and the number of rackets that were produced for him by that time. From number 23 we understand – this racket is right from the very first Fischer branches made for Kafelnikov.
Interestingly Kafelnikov used this model paintjob in "Fischer Austria" version.
It was also "Made in Austria" version of this model. Fischer Vacuum Mid Plus model came out in 1992. And first branches were "Made in Austria", from 1993 - "Fischer Austria".
Kafelnikov used L4 4 1/2 grip.
In the handle we can find a doze of silicone. No lead tape – as Kafelnikov didn’t use them.
Unstrung weight of Kafelnikov's racket is 345 grams (no overgrip).
The uniqueness of this racket in few moments. A real personal racket of an ex-no 1 player in the world that was never used! Not a single stringing! Right away from Ried im Innkreis factory with original Fischer base grip!
Where you can find a racket like this one?! And don’t forget – this is a racket that was a golden part of Anatoly Lepeshin collection. The man who made a great tennis champion named Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
