Hi all

Well i'm a stringer of tennis frames and also play a lot, so i thought i would ask if anyone is selling any tennis frames they might want to get rid of??

Just let me know what you have, doesnt need to be new or a newer model, some of the old ones are better!

Just tell me the exact model name etc and i will offer a fair price, if you have something worth a lot, ill tell you!

Will trade golf gear or cash!

Always trying new frames and trading with other people who do the same!

Thanks

Check out the Yonex vcore 95d on Gumtree Brisbane for $100, that's a good deal. Was going to squeeze him and then up sell.

Microgel prestige pro not really my thing. Had a few before. To be honest they aren't worth much anymore. Cheers for the offer though

Most guys like you who string and swap rackets are pretty loopy, are you loopy?

Pretty loopy! It's like golf gear. Always tinkering with strings and lead tape

I also have a liquid metal Prestige Mid +. This stick IMO is better than the Microgel. Difference is the string pattern that is the classic 18/20.

A used one will enable you to generate more spin so balls would be come in handy.

I have four very good condition Puma BB racquets complete with covers and little key thingy to adjust the length.....somewhere. Also a heap of pro kennex racquets from the '80s. Also located somewhere.

The Pro Kennex Black Ace was a great stick.

Nearly bought the Boron Ace at one point. Originally got racquet serious with a Max 200G. Entered the widebody revolution with a Slazenger Silhouette 95 before mildly upgrading to the legendary Wilson Profile 2.7. Ended comp tennis sporting a Head i.x6 midplus. All were fantastic sticks and the Head had a ridiculous amount of horsepower.

Boron ace, copper ace, micro, all good frames!

Pro Kennex were the first with woofer grommets and basically created the pure drive for babolat!

Black Ace was my main weapon. Was allowed 4 a year. Sadly most died. Here is one survivor though.

Rehash of an oldie but the best was the original with no grommets. The Prince Graphite got slightly worse with each new model and for a professional it became very difficult to match up rackets as they were being made in different factories.
