    As a sidenote:
    Seeing how today's game is almost exclusively played way behind the baseline, which is dead boring, I would urge the ITF to institute a new rule banning every single racquet above 95 square inches… maybe even 90.
    90 didn't stop Federer playing the most beautiful tennis of all of history. This would in my opinion take away a bit of free topspin, power and ease of hitting, and thereby increase willingness to attack and play a more all-court type of game.

    Prince and Dunlop definitely need to have better visibility in the list. Steffi and John's weapon of choice the 200G, particularly.👍😎

    Two words.
    Pete Sampras Wilson 95sq in ProStaff 6.0 Original (1994, turquoise)
    PS he DID use this
    AND also said he hated the 110 version he tried out at the Open around that time, so I’m not sure why he came out to say he didn’t use a larger size, when he definitely did…

    I played – contemporaneously – with the Dunlop Maxply, Jack Kramer Autograph, Head Ashe model 2, and Max 200G

    TBH I am thinking if tennis brands shouldn't be fined for making such a mess around their marketing. Obviously they are constantly misleading customers who is buying frames that are NOT used by players who is advertising them, and who is declaring playing with them.

    The Arthur Ashe was a terrible racquet. No one else used it. The worst aerodynamics of all time. The best wood racquet imho people should try is the Sirt Supreme Model de Luxe. Responsive and smooth. Built to cut through air like an F1. Better than the Jack Kramer Autograph which is imho the second best wood racquet. The ProKennex Silver Ace needs mentioning in the history of racquets for its use of fibreglass and popularity amongst amateurs at the time.

    The original Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 was one of the most widely used sticks on the pro tour tour. Del Potro, Dan Evans, Shapovalov and Bautista Agut are some of the more recent players who used this stick. Many like Bautista Agut are still using the old 6.1 95 painted to look like the current Pro Staff 97.

    My ideal axe is the Prince oversize that Michael Chang made popular. Razor-thin, massive sweetspot, tons of power, perfect feel. String it super-tight with thick gut for control.

    Not including the Prince Graphite pretty much makes this video misinformation. The correct title should be "My favorite racquets from my collection".

    I have around 30 classic wooden rackets which include Bancroft Professional, Wilson Stan Smith, Donnay Allwood Vintage, Dunlop Maxply McEnroe, Slazenger Guillermo Vilas V-24, Spalding Pancho Gonzales, Wilson Chris Evert and even the first racket I ever owned which was an Ascot Mark Cox.I have a few more modern rackets in my collection like the Wilson Pro staff Classic 6.6 STARS AND STRIPES as used by Jim Courier.

    my Dad used to me the importer for Bancroft in Italy ( there very few around in Europe) and got me one of them . I wish I had kept it !

    Now that's a more like it video of a best of all time raquets. Apreciate a lot including the Agassis Radical Xtreme which was my raquet of choice from the age of 14 to adulthood. However the biggest MISS of this video is Edbergs Prostaff Classic 6.1. The raquet depicted in the video was not used by Edberg, only by Sampras , M.Pierce at that time. Now the Prostaff Classic 6.1 was used in the early '90s by probably 70%+ of all the pro players and serious juniors alike. Other raquets were Head Prestige and Prince Classic Graphite 100. Another amazing raquet was S.Grafs Dunlop Max 200G played by several ppl and not to forget J.Connors's Slazenger Panther Pro Comp which was the raquet of choice for many before Prestige and Prostaff 6.1.

    I absolutely love my old Soft Drive, the feel is just wonderful. I used it since I was 9 years old until my 30s and I only changed it because I needed a more stable and comfortable frame.
